Synopsis

Oliver and Paul spoke between themselves as Bess and Luke lingered, awaiting an invitation inside. Oliver declared he didn’t wish to discuss school, explaining that all his teachers seemed to dislike him because of his frequent dozing off. He maintained that the classes were simply tedious, even Humanities where they were currently reading 'Lord of the Flies.' Oliver insisted that one needn't be stranded on a deserted island for children to behave cruelly.
