This transition happens in a short amount of time throughout the book. I believe that their loss of innocence is partially due to their initial innocence upon their arrival on the island. The lack of knowledge and inexperience of life that the boys possess, along with their freedom make it very difficult to conform to the hard work and rules that were immediately laid upon them. This split them apart and I believe softened them to manipulation. Also being young they follow by example and I believe aswell that it was Jacks influence and manipulation that caused their savage acts.
