William Golding was affected by being a part of D- Day because of what war revealed about man's true nature to harm their fellow humans. He was horrified by what the Nazis did to the Jews in concentration camps, and by how the Japanese mistreated their prisoners. He too was disgusted by what he himself did as a naval officer. If it weren't for the war he may have not written his famous novel "Lord of the Flies". I think that man is born with kindness but learns to be barbaric because of the people man is surrounded by. Just like how in the 60s whites hated us blacks for hundreds and hundreds of years. It took a whole century to earn our freedom from captivity. There was even a war fought over the Union and Confederates states when Abraham Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation. It starts with 1 that can multiply and cause more people to hate.
