Because all of the characters in Lord of the Flies are children, they will do things that reflect their age and immaturity. Whether it is ignorance, carelessness, or juvenile. This theme of innocence is prevalent throughout the first three chapters of the novel. The main person that shows innocence is the fair boy also know as Ralph. He was so excited because “No grownups!” would be on the island and he believes that no grownups being with them is exciting because they will not have control over them and they can be in complete control of themselves. His actions and speech are very juvenile. Ralph does not think that grownups being absent is a bad thing although the other kids realize that. This shows that Ralph is still immature and careless.
