on an island in the middle of the ocean with no one adult to help them. The boys are forced to start a civilization and elect a leader. Because they are just young boys, everything on the island seems to scare them. Even trees rustling or a strange shadow seems to get them on edge. Because they are constantly scared it causes them to do things that they normally wouldn't do. Fear changes the way the boys think, act, and perceive their surroundings. The first way that fear affects the boys is it changes

There is a city where the sun and the moon neither rise nor set a city of perpetual twilight. Where there is no good or bad, no right or wrong. Everything is based on perspective in this ephemeral city. This city has no people, only shadows. Shades of former denizens who lost their dreams but not their hearts, a stagnate state of being alive but not living. This was the empty city. He was a lonely soul, new to this city devoid of life.

that was left in them was surely submissive. Even expecting the worst Burton couldn’t believe what Demitri had created.
