What seems to be the two main characters are introduced in this section of the novel. Ralph seems to have all the characteristics of a leader, and I believe he will lead the group of boys during their time on the island. The other boy, Piggy, seems to be much more subserviant. He also appears to be much more child-like than Ralph. The story hints that there has been a plane crash which stranded the boys on the island, but never actually tells of what happened to the plane or how the boys survived. I would've appreciated it if the story had told how all the boys survived. I find it odd that the boys survived, but no adults survived. I don't understand how a plane crash can lead to the deaths of the adults,without so much as an injury to any of the boys. I would also like the story more if the setting was described in more detail. I could not gain a full mental picture of the island from what was described in the novel.
