Ralph and his friend Piggy, who is not athletic but is very smart, start telling everyone to collect different sources of food and resources around the island. Although Ralph tries to create order and responsibility, there are many who would rather swim, play, or hunt. Ralph’s rules start to be followed less and less. Two big reasons for that is because of Jack, one of the biggest antagonists throughout the book, and the so called beast.

I am Zach Little, a sophomore in the computer science program. I am from Jefferson County, in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. I spend most of my free time creating music, singing, and playing the piano. I enjoy reading high fantasy novels such as Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series and Tad Williams’s Otherland. However, I also enjoy nonfiction about psychology, philosophy, history, and science. Also, I might have a slight obsession with video games. My career goal is to become a sound engineer, basically a fancy title for music composer in the digital age. Once my degree is finished, I hope to get a job in the video game industry.
