I believe that human nature shows what type of person we are. Human nature guides us as individuals to do the right thing. We learn from our environment and this plays into our society and our nature as humans. This question got me thinking about whether or not humans can be born evil? The book made me think of all the times I grew up and saw bad incidents that are a part of life. Someone close to me made a lot of bad choices in his life and when I was younger, he was the one I always looked up to as a “brotherly figure” but also as a best friend. He was the one who saved my life when I was younger. He was also someone I could trust with my life, but then I wonder how he became such a bad person because he started hanging out with the wrong people. He ended up pushing me aside to be with his so-called friends at the time. I think his true nature was beginning to shine through. He was no longer the brotherly figure I knew as a child; he had gone from being a brotherly figure that I knew and admired so much, but now he is someone I don't like being around. I wonder if the environment shaped him and me, and to what extent that influence had on both of us. He and I had changed a lot since we were both kids, now he's about to turn 25 and I'm 19. I believe our human nature makes us the type of people we are today . In Lord of the Flies, I realized that no matter how good a person you are, your true nature always shines through. For example, in the story you see how bad Roger can be while on the other side you see how good Ralph is. I think this is where I saw the symbolism between all the characters and each character has their own characteristics that come from our true human nature. I saw that each character in the story had shown their true nature. Roger's character in the story is someone who has a real wicked nature, but if you look at Simon's point of view you will see how he represents the good side of human nature..
