Lord Of The Flies

The time of the story is right after the plane has wrecked and they all wake up from the crash. Ralph and Piggy meet each other, walk around and soon look for other people on the plane. Ralph soon finds the Conch shell and uses it like a horn to beacon the others. The survivors eventually find themselves together in a group; Ralph, Piggy, Jack and his hunters, Sam �n Eric and Simon included. They vote Ralph the chief of the group, make a few rules and designate Jack and his band as the group's “hunters.” Ralph, Simon and Jack explore the island

and climb it's pink mountain to see if the place they were at is truly an

island. They find it is. An idea is formed for the group. They decide to designate a place on the top of the mountain and make a fire-pit for a signal to ships or planes that may be passing by. The whole group collects tons and tons of wood and dead leaves and heaves them all into a pile. They use Piggy's specs to start the fire by

placing them between the sun and the pile. Soon, the fire consumes all of the

materials they had collected and very little smoke had been created. Piggy is

made upset and he starts a much bigger fire. They all get in an argument. Then

meet back down at the meeting place. Later on, the group attempt to make huts on the beach. It turns out that Ralph and Simon end up doing all the work. The shelters are not very good ones and the progress is slow. Jack is upset that he can’t get any meat for the group to eat, and that his bands of hunters spend all their time in the bathing pool.

As the story progresses, three shelters have been built and a restroom was about to be built by the bathing pool. They were going to build the restroom by the bathing pool so the tide can clean everything out. (Their camping area was getting a little dirty) Chief Ralph also made a new rule that no fire ever be made unless it's on the mountain. And that if they didn't keep that fire going, they'll die. A rumour was spread saying that a gigantic squid was seen, bigger than a whale. Towards the end of the chapter, Jack riles up an assembly and they all go running after the “beast.” Jack leaves the group of kids after a big argument with Ralph. Jack attempted to take Ralph's authority and accused him of being a coward while hunting the beast. He said he did all the work while Ralph hung back and did all the work. He puts it to a vote, should he be impeached as chief and Jack takes his place or should he stay.
