If Golding had chosen to include girls in the story as well as boys, the whole plot of the story would've been different. He would've had to make decisions based on the emotional effects of having a girl on the island and would have to find ways to make it realistic and comfortable for the reader. The characters also would've survived longer, because having girls around would mean less violence, and i think Golding really wanted to incorperate violence into the story to show the threats of isolation.
Golding would've also had to decide what kind of effects the girls wouldve had on the boys, such as arguments of survival or friendships. If there wee girls on the island, i dont think Jack would've had such the urge to kill since boys have a natural protective instinct over women. Golding would've had a completelydifferent plot, and the book wouldn't attract the group of readers he was hoping for.
