The Setting

The setting in this novel is extremely disturbing. This is one of the reason why I do not favor this novel. The shelters were all burning, and the forest in the island were burning up because of the violence that the kids have caused. Also, the island becomes very dirty and bloody. It was very weird that pigs were living in this island. The kids were killing pigs to eat for meat, and for the sacrifice of the monster living in the island. The setting was portrayed as a dystopia. If I were to live in this island, I would be very fearful. The kids in the island believed that there was a beast living in this island. Moreover, there were no grownups in this island, which meant that there were no rules. I believe the island was a symbolism for the world.
