some of the events in this are definitely disturbing, to say the least.

ongoing animal slaughter, the fact that they literally killed piggy in the end ? like what ?? i’m not surprised bc they’re all males but still ?

but the fact that apparently all of these boys are based off real students mr golding taught is somehow even funnier to me. 
also this sheer obsession with the conch ? i am traumatised by the word alone
