This novel's mood is very dark, depressing and exciting, from the beginning of the story to the end. It is very harsh to survive in the empty island, so the boys have lots of conflict and problems when they are trying to survive. The reason why the mood is so dark is because the boys have no hope. They can starve to death and die anytime; they can be eaten by the wild carnivores. The boys have lots of conflict living through the harsh life, so they become very evil and their innate evilness appears as they fight. There are so many conflicts that the mood of the story is dark and depressing till the end. Even though the overall story is depressing, I have found that it is very exciting and interesting story. All the actions and surviving stories were very interesting and made me want to read more. But I still feel bad for them and this story scared me while I was reading. It saddens me that I might be the same as they are. When I am in those kinds of circumstances I feel that I might be evil as they are and lost my mind. I feel sad that they were normal and naive boys, but then they have changed a lot. By reading this book it made me to realize that all human has natural instinct evilness. They can't control it when they are in peril situation, the instinct to keep them selves alive, to survive. This story is very tragic and sad story it is really sad to see the boys struggling to survive in the wild jungle. I think that they won't be happy even they go to their own ordinary life, it seems like they will have hard time adjusting back. So, in conclusion the mood of the story is very sad, depressing, and dark, it saddens me that all the humans have innate evilness.

In animal farm, the mood changes gradually. At the beginning of the book, it is bright and encouraging. However, as the pigs grip the the power, the whole farm becomes sorrowful and mournful. It is because the power had changed the pigs to open their eyes to their instinctive greediness. However, I beleive that there isn't just selfishness in our instict. There is also love and care, an instinct that wants to protect anyone in danger.
