Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.
The setting was placed on the island. After the plain crashed, kids remained on the unknown island. The setting of the story is actually beautiful because it happened at the island, and I think every island has beautiful scene. However, the situation happening on the island is very cruel and nasty. Since there were several antogonist around Ralph, Simon died from two kids, the first kid died from the fire, and Piggy died by falling down from the cliff. What's getting worse was the soldier came to the island. Even though the kids were from the other country, the soldier just kill them, no matter what. Fortunately, Ralph and his friend almost got exterminated.

The island especially intrigued me, because the picture of an island in my mind did not match with the island in the story at all, like what you have said. When I think of an island. beautiful scene firstly comes to my mind. However, the island in the story is like a dreadful place; kids make savage rituals and murder each other in the island. Are not they so cruel? How can this happen among innocent kids? However, I do not understand what you mean by a soldier killing the kids. Do you mean the Navy men that rescues the kids? In the story, he does not kill any of the kids, does he? Anyway, other than that, I agree with you. The setting, which is the island, was very disturbing to me, too.
