I completely agree that the omniscient narrator in Lord of the Flies immerses readers in the boys' experiences and moral dilemmas, allowing us to witness their transformations firsthand. By presenting their actions and motivations so clearly, Golding effectively prompts us to reflect on our own values and choices in challenging situations.

In Lord of the Flies, the narrator knows everything about the boys, like what they're thinking and doing, almost like a drone watching from above. This makes readers feel like they're in the story too, seeing everything happen. It helps us understand why the boys act the way they do, like how Ralph tries to keep things organized, or how Jack becomes more wild and mean.
It also makes readers feel like they're judges because we can see who's doing the right things and who's making things worse. For example, when Piggy is bullied, we can see how unfair it is, and when Simon dies, we realize how scary and out of control the boys are becoming.
By seeing everything, the reader gets to think about whether the boys are acting good or bad, and it makes us ask questions about what we would do if we were stuck on the island too. This way of telling the story makes it exciting and teaches lessons about people and how they act when there are no rules.
