This story is presented during World War II. The boys who crashed on the island are all English, sophisticated, school boys who were being flown to another country for their safety. Since they all come from rich houses, it is really hard for them to survive on this island. If the story took place in today's time, the boys would have more resources and have a higher chance of being rescued. If the boys came from a more poor place, living on the island would not be a big struggle and they wold be surviving more easily.

Obviously, there are only boy characters in this story. This may have to do with the fact that this book was written in the 1950's when women were not treated as equally as men. At that time men were seen as more stronger and braver than women which might be the reason Goulding did not add girls in his story. If this story was written today, girls would definitely be included in the story because we know that women are perfectly capable of doing everything men do.
William Goulding taught in an English school for a while and also fought in World War II, these are two things that greatly affected the story. Because he had witnessed war right in front of him, he believed that humans are evil and society’s rules just suppress the demons within. He said that he saw what people were capable of doing and that if anyone in those years thought that man does not produce evil, he is surely blind. We can clearly see that his life experiences play a big role in how he wrote his book. If he did not participate in war, he may have been an optimistic man who didn't see the evil in people.
