Lord of the flies

  • Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a novel in which a group of schoolboys are stranded on a desert island and attempt to establish their own society.
  • Ralph, the elected leader, argues that the main goals should be to have fun, survive, and maintain a smoke signal to catch the attention of potential resures.
  • The boys lose interest in the daily tasks Ralph assigns, like building shelters, and instead play and hunt pigs. 
  • When another boy, Jack, defies Ralph’s authority, the boys degenerate into savagery and set fire to the island. 
  • A ship nearby sees the smoke and rescues them.
