Lord Of The Flies Environment Vs Environment

Sometimes in life people's behavior can be affected by the environment they are surrounded by. According to William Golding people’s behavior can change due to the environment they are in and they learn to adapt to it.The author William Golding who wrote The Lord Of The Flies utilizes setting to show how people’s behavior can change and learn to adapt to the environment they are in.
