Eventually, Ralph and Jack have a fight on top of Jack's rock fortress with the rest of the boys watching.

The boys’ beginning on the island starts with a very positive and playful atmosphere. To begin, Ralph and Piggy find a conch shell that they think will help call

E.M. Forster suggests that William Golding’s writing “lays out a solid foundation for the horrors to come” in Lord of the Flies. This is true, due to Golding’s excessive amount of foreshadowing in the beginning of the novel that hints to the murders of two characters: Simon and Piggy. For instance, the very first paragraph of the novel includes foreshadowing when it states, “He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was echoed by another.” The bird’s cries represent Simon’s death, and its echo represents Piggy’s death, since it followed quickly afterward. The colors, on the other hand, represent blood, fire, cowardice and deceit,

Ralph woke up on the island and found a conch and a boy named Piggy. Piggy tells Ralph to blow into the conch and suddenly all of the other boys begin to emerge from the growth on the island. After agreeing that they are without adults the boys become concerned. Piggy says, “That’s why Ralph made a meeting. So as we can decide what to do.” (Golding, 21) A little later, the boys vote on Ralph to be chief. As chief Ralph wisely decided that there needed to be rules on the island. “We can’t have everybody talking at once. We’ll have to have ‘Hands up’ like at school.” He held the conch before his face and glanced round the mouth. “Then I’ll give him the conch.” (Golding, 33)

Ralph “lost himself in a maze of thoughts that were rendered vague by his lack of words to express them.” Ralph is shown to be an inexperienced leader as his thoughts are compared to being lost in a maze. The author implies that Ralph’s young age and education left him inexperienced and struggles during tense situations.

The naval officer took all the boys that were on the island to the ship. One by one they got on the ship and sat down quietly. Most of them thought about the things that happen on the island like what happen to Piggy and Simon and the littlun with a mulberry-colored mark on his face. Others thought about what they were going to do when they got home with their families and how their families were going to react. Ralph thought about his friend, Piggy, and how he got killed. Jack thought about his mom and what would happen if she knew what he did on the island. Everyone’s faces seemed shocked by the news that they were rescued. Ralph seem like he wanted to say something, but he was too shocked to even say a word. The naval officer asked the littluns what their name was but some of them did not even remember their names not even Percival.

“S’right. It’s a shell! I seen one like that before. On someone’s back wall. A conch he called it.

The story takes place on an Island where a group of kids that had an airplane crash and landed on it, at first complete strangers later become some friends and some enemies but as the story goes thru it teaches us about loss of innocence and teamwork. From this section of the story we have learned that is better to survive as team than to survive as an individual because there is more probability to survive together than alone, friends that could help you do the double as if you were by yourself. Fear is also played in this section of the story as piggy is crying out loud to Ralph asking him for signal, as they do their little scene and Simon tries to shyly touch Ralph he runs away as if not knowing what else to do which action also shows
