Struggle For Power Stay Alive

Human Nature In Lord Of The Flies
597 wordsGood morning / afternoon Mrs. Visser and class, I will be speaking about human nature and what it means to be human. Now what does it truly mean to be human and what makes us human? The main thing about humanity is we see ourselves as superior to nature and the animals in it. We see this in Lord of the Flies when the boys first land on the island.

Lord Of The Flies Evil Inside
