 Summary
When Lord of the Flies Starts, a plane carrying a group of boys ages 6 to 12 has crashed on a island in the Pacific ocean.
With no adults around, the boys are left to survive by themselves. The boys use a conch as a talking shell. (Whenever the
boys had meetings they would use this and if you didnt have you couldnt talk. Ralph, one of the older boys, becomes the
leader of approximately twenty boys.

They are afraid of a beast somewhere on the island. They decide to build a signal fire. But Jack, jealous of Ralphs power,
decides the boys should use their time to hunt for food instead of managing the fire. The longer they are on the island, the
more insane they become. Meanwhile Simon and Piggy help Ralph make shelters.

Eventually this small conflict becomes bigger, and the boys that are supposed to be tending the fire skip out on their duty
to hunt. While they skipped their duties tending to the fire, it went out and a big ship pass without them noticing them. This
causes a huge argument between Ralph and Jack. Jack leaves the group and makes his own.

Everyone leaves for Jacks group except Simon, Piggy, Erik, and Mikey. Later the next night Simon was wondering around
and Jack and his tribe thought he was the (beast). So they mistakenly kill Simmon. Ralph and his tribe went to talk to Jack
about the murder. This only made it worse. While Jack and Ralph were talking, Jacks tribe kidnapped Mikey and Erik.
Then Steve pushed a boulder on Piggy which killed him. Which only left Ralph. He ran when he saw them kill Piggy. The
next day he smelled smoke they lit the forest on fire. He ran to the beach, they were going to kill him. He fell on the
ground, noticing they were right behind he gave up, but when he looked up he saw a military officer he was going to
survive. He was going to make it off the island!
 Rating
