What do we learn about Roger and Maurice in the incidents on pp. 77-8? we discover that these boys enjoy tormenting and teasing the little boys. Thy realise that there are no adults on the island to enforce punishment or tell them right from wrong. We learn though, that Maurice unlike Roger, does feel guilty and unsettled by how they acted towards the others. |

What do we learn about Roger and Maurice in the incidents on pp. 77-8? We learn that there about two types of trouble makers in society. Roger and Maurice both started bullying the littluns for the same reason, because they thought it would amuse them, but Maurice started to feel guilty about bullying and left the beach because he knew that what he was doing was wrong. Roger, on the other hand, had no guilty feelings about harassing the littluns and had another attempt at trying to bully them. He started throwing rocks around Percival and it was stated in the book that the only thing that was stopping him from actually hitting Percival were the rules that society had taught him. This could be an example of the people we have in society who need rules to stop themselves from harming others. |

In chapter four, we learn that Roger and Maurice enjoy teasing and making the younger boys upset. Back in England they would have gotten in trouble for doing so from a parent or teacher, but there are no adults on the island to discipline them. However, Maurice does still feel the unease of wrongdoing. Roger and Maurice may have very wel been bullies in their schools, and are bringing this trait to the island. |

However, Maurice does still feel the unease of wrongdoing. I feel it is significant that Maurice still feels that he has done wrong by the kids because it shows that the boys have not yet become fully savage and they still have those sorts of feeling like compassion and they are still apologetic. |

We see Roger and Maurice enjoying teasing the littleuns. They stomp on there sandcastles and get sand in Percival's eye. When Percival starts crying Maurice feels guilty because he knows he has done wrong, but there is no adult to tell him off. We learn that the boys still can feel guilty after hurting others. Roger and Maurice may have bullied the younger ones back in Britain and they got used to doing it. They show signs of being sociopaths. |
