2nd Assignment

    Lord of the Flies would be a completely different novel if it included females. For one, girls normally tend to be more logically driven, where as boys tend to thrive off of adrenaline. I think if there were girls included in this book, there would definitely be less fighting and a lot more control over disagreements. Also, Golding would have had to add a female's point of view and that would have  changed almost everything.  The big split-up at the end and the death of Piggy and Simon probably wouldn't have even happened. On the other hand, girls also have a bad habit of bringing a lot of unnecesary drama into situations like these, and although they might not get violent about it, it would be quite a bit more emotional. In my personal opinion, I don't think adding females to this story would improve it, but it would most definitely alter it.
