3. Since the boys are young, and they have no adult assistance, everything task they complete provides them with a sense of accomplishment. They enjoy the satisfaction of creating a mock government, successfully lighting a fire, and killing pigs.


4. Being on an island void of civilization allows the boys to express their primitive instincts. They enjoy regularly hunting for pigs to eat and participating in ceremonial rituals. Essentially, their carnal desires are uninhibited.


5. The boys enjoy being able to swim, play, and hunt whenever and wherever they want. They do not have to go to school or ask for permission to do anything on the island.


6. Some of the boys enjoy the island for different reasons. Jack enjoys the island because he is able to have complete control over his tribe, while Piggy enjoys the island because he is able to exercise his intelligence. Roger likes the island because he can engage in seriously deviant behavior while Simon enjoys the serenity the island offers.
