The article “Inside the Teen Brain’ by Marty Wolner, states that the human brain provides parents with shocking new evidence to possibly explain the sometimes irrational, illogical, and impulsive behavior of teenagers. Teenage years are radically more active and dynamic than they previously thought. So teenagers are left with most of the information reaching their brains being processed in the emotional part (limbic system). Information processed in the limbic system without benefit increases the processing in the prefrontal cortex. It may result in impulsive, egocentric, and maybe even risky behavior choices. The prefrontal cortex of the teenage brain does not excuse inappropriate or irresponsible behavior from the teen. The brain is not yet

The children landed uncharted island far from any semblance of police, parents, or even teachers. The island was almost like the “Neverland” that Disney taught us about years ago, but without Tinkerbell and a magical home with all their needs. Jack and the children in this adventure were in a heap of trouble. They were many, some smaller and some bigger (littleuns and bigguns). These kids had to organize themselves into some sort of unit, to more efficiently find a way home. That is where the trouble begins. When one or more humans come together, a hierarchy is always established. Similar to when one goes to a restaurant and the waitress only addresses our father for the majority of the tables decisions. When this hierarchy forms, the decisions this leader takes will always be classified as good or evil, and the society will be judged by the character at their forefront. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of The Flies”, Jack Merridew is the character that takes leadership in the society and proves humanity is inherently evil by demonstrating human’s: selfish tendencies, competitive nature, and hopelessness.

Jack Wilson, a crook hired by Rufus to try and get the farmers out of plains, provokes Stonewall, who is a brave hot-tempered farmer. When the inexperienced farmer comes closer to Wilson and goes for his gun, Wilson kills him instantly and claims it was in self-defense while it was a plan with his boss Rufus. At Stonewall’s funeral, the farmer's talk of giving into Rufus wants and leaving the area peacefully to avoid more of such happenings. This shows the peaceful side of the farmers of not wanting any violence and making a preference to leave their properties behind as a lasting peaceful solution to the existing growing violence acts between Rufus and farmers. Stonewall was a proven hot head, so early on we can almost foreshadow that he is going to be caught up in the violence. He proves a point in which, no good can come from violence or being a loose cannon.

Most kids have big expectations from others including parents, and friends, Just like the main character in the book My Brilliant Idea by David Stuart.

His big idea was to create an app, “an app that stops you from getting into trouble for daydreaming in class.” the problem is his parents are pushing Jack to have a job of their choosing. That leads me to the theme: expectations for self vs expectations from others.

Challenging behaviour in children is widely thought of as a normal part of development and is thought to be linked with a lack of communication skills (Berk, 1991; Campbell, 1995; Craig- Unkefer & Kaiser, 2002; Kaiser, Hancock, Cai, Foster, & Hester, 2000; Hanley, Heal, Tiger & Ingvarsson 2007).

I know it was an accident. I’m not mad at you, or any of the boys. It wasn’t your fault – it was your instinct, your nature. Humanity all holds within them an innate savagery, a broken piece inside of them. The Lord of the Flies taught me this. He told me that “you know perfectly well that you’ll only meet me down there—so don’t try to escape!” (143) He was right. I found him, inside all of you. He is darkness, he is savagery, he lurks in all of us. He is the beast.
