Point Of View In Airman By Eoin Colfer

Being in a state of childhood innocence can mean life or death when fighting to survive. The boys in William Golding's Lord of the Flies become marooned on an island when their plane crashes while evacuating them from England during the war. As they begin to realize that they are going to have to work with what they have, they attempt to run the island in the same way as their society back home. Golding reveals an underlying theme of innocence and the loss of it through the young boys on the island. In order to reveal this theme, Golding highlights specific characteristics of the boys and brings attention to certain events throughout the survival process.

ENCAMPMENT! FALL OUT! Those words were what I and one hundred fifty other cadets were waiting to hear the minute we marched onto the parade grounds of Fort Pickett. We were standing under the merciless afternoon sun as the sweat trickled from my forehead onto the lapels of my freshly ironed uniform, and it felt as if that moment was never going to end. Going back exactly six days from that moment, I was feeling an unusual wave of excitement as I signed in at the Virginia Wing Civil Air Patrol Encampment as an Advanced Training Flight (ATF) cadet.

“Ralph too was fighting to get near, to get a handful of that brown, vulnerable flesh. The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering” (115). After crashing on an island, the stranded group of schoolboys are exactly that-- innocent schoolboys waiting for a rescue. Jack, the head chorister, believes that his being able to “sing a C sharp” is ample qualification to become chief on the island (22). Not only are the boys originally unadulterated, but their time on the island is adult-free and fun; They play in the sand, swim, and eat fruit, all of which are purely innocent actions performed by the six to twelve year olds.
