Lord of thE FliEs SumMary
In Lord of the Flies, there are a group of boys that were being evacuated from England whose plane has crashed on a deserted island. As the boys are on the island they begin to realize that they are the only one on the island. They feel free because they have no adults on the island to tell them what to do. But they also realize they need a leader and a hunter for food. They select Ralph and Jack. Jack the head of the choirboys who wants to be the leader. He is made chief of the hunters who chase pigs around with spears. Ralph spends much of his time building shelters to protect the boys, while Jack and his tribe are constantly off hunting for food. Ralph and the boys make a fire so they can be rescue. Ralph is more concerned than ever about their rescue and about keeping the fire going. Ralph gets mad at Jack because Jack is more concerned with hunting than keeping the fire going. Jack begins not to care anymore about anything. Jack breaks away from the group and starts his own tribe at Castle Rock on the other side of the island. Most of the other boys follow him. Only Piggy, Sam, Eric, and some littluns remain with Ralph. Jack killed a pig and the boys begin to go crazy painting there face and feasting. Simon had wonder off into the island while the boys were celebrating jumping around. Simon came back running and the boys mistake him into being a beast and they beat Simon down with clubs and spears until he was dead. Ralph and Piggy felt horrible what happened. Ralph and Jack was no longer buddies and bump heads. So one night Jack and some of his hunters ran through Ralph's camp and they attack the boys, damage the shelters, and stoled Piggy's glasses which they needed to light a fire at there own camp. So Ralph and Piggy went to Castle Rock to get Piggy glasses back because he couldn't see. As they enter Castle Rock Roger who is one of there guards pushes a boulder rock towards Piggy. It crushes and kill him. Ralph begin to run through the forest as Jack hunters look for him. Jack hunters begin to set the forest on fire as Ralph begin to run fast as possible to the beach. Ralph tripped and fell and as he stood up, he seen a officer. The burning trees and smoke attracted the officers to the island. The officer speak to all the British boys and hear about the death with Simon and Piggy. The officer was shock by the evil deed they had cause. All the boys begin to cry but are relieved that they are leaving the island but see the evil ways of mankind they realize.
