Question # 2 What is the mood of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?
I think there are lots of mood in this novel. All the moods are complicated, mingled in the novel. At the first scene of the novel, the mood was peaceful, people waiting for rescue. But as the story went on, the mood raged up, becoming crazy. The mood saddened me because it showed the brutality of the innocent boys. I hoped that they don't lose their innocence, but they eventually changed, and it saddened me alot.

The mood of this novel saddened me as well. Even though the boys enjoy their freedom and have some optimistic thoughts toward their future in the beginning, the horror and despair creep into their lives as time goes by...
Throughout the novel, the fearful mood approaches, eventually leading to a total disaster among the boys: the murder. Isn't it shocking how the boys, only young teenagers, managed to kill each other? I truly felt depressed after finishing this book because not only the boys in this novel became savage and evil but also people in the real world.
