example of loss of innocence in lord of the flies?

Answer 1

Instead of being good friends, they all turn on each other and war ensues.

Answer 2

The boys started out in the story well-mannered, headstrong and optimistic of being rescued but before too long they transform into sadistic savages relying on animal instincts. Examples are when they killed and butchered the pig brutally and without remorse or pity whereas before Jack hesitates about stabbing a pig.They cover themselves in paint and mud and offer the pig's head as a sacrifice to appease the beasts in the island( a figment of their own fears).More glaring examples would be when they murdered children like themselves: Simon and Piggy and eventually hunting down Ralph like he was game. In doing so they lose their childhood innocence and turn into ruthless animals.

Answer 3

I don't mean to be rude, but did you read the book? The entire premise of kids being stranded on an island to fend for themselves is probably the definition of losing innocence. They are forced to look after their basic needs: Food, shelter, and water. Parents are supposed to be concerned about such things. Without parents, innocence is lossed and adulthood rushes in.
