In Lord of the Flies, what are some moods that the author creates and how are they applied in the novel?

A mood is a feeling and I think these kids experience the
feeling of abandonment. Think about how it might have felt
to indeed be a child during WWII. With a dad off to war and a mom having to work and
parent at home, these children likely often felt as if all was at a loss for the
structure they use to feel at home. Being a child in England, there were probably a
limited people to choose from being a small island
nation.

When these kids arrived on the island, there are no
parents, no authorities, no mentors, and no adults whatsoever to consult with about how
to live life. I think Piggy in particular really feels
abandoned.

As they spend time together and allegiances real
or percieved are broken, children once again experience a mood of
abandon from their
friends.

Another mood might be loss or
hopelessness. These kids lose their hope of home, they lose faith in
their leaders, they lose their own previous identities, and that great scar the plane
leaves reminds them of their loss of control over their circumstances.
