Loss of innocence due to war

This is a feature article for year 12 English (I live in Australia). It is about how innocence has been lost in children due to wars (such as the Syria attacks etc) and at one point should make reference to the book “Lord of the Flies”. I have attached the drafting sheet that will be used when the teacher is drafting it. Thanks~
