From what I know about my thinker and whilst I’m thinking in the way of my thinker, to me it made perfect sense when all of the boys obeyed and followed jack and tried to chase Ralph off the island. I say this because the boys were all good at the beginning, they all listened to Ralph, but when Jack came into the picture and provided more opportunities to have fun and kill things, of course the boys would trade in their power to do these things. And when all of the boys went over to Jack and left the leadership of Ralph, they became uncontrollable and did savage and uncalled for things. They acted in this manor because jack gave them no rights, and without rights the boys were wild, and uncontrollable, but with Ralph they were usually calm and easy to handle because Ralph gave them rights.
View on the Sudanese boys:
The way the boys reacted to having to move worked perfectly with Locke’s philosophy for so many reasons. The boys were by themselves and had no one to turn to. Given their rights they didn’t need to steal to better themselves and they helped each other. In my opinion this is the reason why they made it so far. This proves Locke’s philosophy because the boys did exactly what Locke would think they’d do and many survived.
