The books is so very descriptive that it feels like watching a movie. This gets often reccomended as a book to read in high school and I can see why. Its a pretty accurate depiction of what would happen if children, or even adults, trapped on an island would eventually become and eventually come to do.
The point of the book, is think, is to show the society that is created at the start, founded on the good sense and civilization reached with the time spent in Britain, that without a solid foundation eventually shatters and the kids become savages, led by their instincts, without good sense to do whats rational, that is symbolised by keeping the fire up.
