Lord Of The Flies Chapter 1 Summary

In chapter 3 an argument breaks out between Ralph and Jack over the group's priorities. Ralph is trying to build shelters and an SOS fire while Jack and his hunters are craving some meat. I agree with Ralph wanting the priority to be on getting rescued and staying alive, but I disagree with him complaining about it because he is the leader and it's his job to get everyone working. With Jack I understand and agree that people will get tired of eating fruit and other foods similar to that, but I dislike how he's complaining when he's the one that is responsible for hunting. The argument that these two boys have are what I believe to be purely because of laziness. However if they don’t set things right, this problem is only going to

At the meeting place, Ralph grips the conch shell and berates the boys for their failure to uphold the group’s rules.

He restates the importance of the signal fire and attempts to allay the group’s growing fear

At the end of chapter 11 there is a major schism between the two groups of boys. While the boys are standing of the cliff the atmosphere is tense due to Jack previously stealing Piggy’s glasses. In this passage from Lord of the Flies, the author Golding shows that there is a lack of rules and in result the boulder kills Piggy.

Many times there are different groups in society who fight and don’t get along real well. That is the majority of this book. Two groups of kids in which one group feels safety and rescue is the way to go. The other hunting and being uncivilized, and carefree. The civilized more organized and having rules group is Ralph’s. The group being uncivilized and thinking that hunting is going to save them is Jack’s group also known as his choir.

“I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak”, “We’ll have rules!”, “There aren’t any grownups\ We shall have to look after ourselves.”

"You owe me a shit ton of drinks you fucker." I laugh and grunt in mock disgust, noticing I am not wearing any pants. "If you wanted to get with me you could have just asked."

“He’s from D’Urberville academy isn’t he Tess? Oh I think I’ve seen him play on their team. He must be loaded to go to a posh school like that! Go introduce us to him! You’re pretty enough to get him to buy us a drink.” Joan said.
