The theme I chose: “Under critical circumstances, people will lose their innocence much too quick for their own good.”
Way of exploration 1: Ralph's grey shirt. It is mentioned in the very beginning, and becomes gross with time. It is a symbol for innocence and childhood, because as the shirt becomes increasingly disgusting, the boys' innocence slips further and further away.
Way of exploration 2: Ralph's dream. Ralph dreams of home and feeding his horse. This gives a sense that time has passed. He's dreaming of better times as if they were "back in the day".
