Lord Of The Flies Chapter 1 Summary

“Thank you!” I started to cry. “Please, be careful!” I cried into my dad’s shoulder.

At the beginning of chapter 5, we see Ralph walking along the beach until he decides to sound the conch shell and summon the boys for a “serious” meeting. We then get a description of the place they meet, and we learn it's on a sort of platform it is triangle shaped. Ralph, as the chief, sits on a log, which lies parallel to the beach. Before this meeting Ralph seems to get rather philosophical and it seems that the wilderness is making Ralph question the foundations of his knowledge and what he was taught in his previous life. Eventually Ralph blows the conch and summons the boys.

Sam kept holding on to Roger waiting for Eric to go and call somebody for help. Later Ralph came and shouted to Roger:

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.

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.

Despite being cold, scared and hungry, kishwana and Akeelah stayed strong in their decision to rescue their parents.

At the meeting place, Ralph grips the conch shell and berates the boys for their failure to uphold the group’s rules. They have not done anything required of them: they refuse to work at building shelters, they do not gather drinking water, they neglect the signal fire, and they do not even use the designated toilet area.

Within the novel, there are many different themes, most conveying the ingrained evil within all human beings and the malevolent complexions of humanity.

“It is going to be okay, we will get through this as a family.” Mom said, softly.

Their parents asked Johan and me to give the Eulogy at the funeral. A little part of me wanted to say No, because I felt that it was my fault that they were dead.
