Do you think the boys’ system of government can effectively ensure that mob rule does not take over? Why or why not? LORD OF THE FLIES chapter 6-7

Answer: No, because all of the boys are already veering off of task. You are talking about a group of adolescent teenage boys who are without adult supervision and rules. I think they will soon retaliate against each other. When one doesn't agree with another, it is likely the group will split into and a new "government" or "mob" will form. Things will only get worse. Their current format of government is only temporary. It will soon fall apart.
