Quote from Lord of the Flies Page 144

"'I'm warning you. I'm going to get angry. D'you see? You're not wanted. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island! So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy, or else-'"
-Lord of the Flies Page 144
This seen sets in motion the events that will lead up to the first murder on the island. Simon realizes that the real beast on the island is inside all the boys. It is human nature that will threaten the boys, not some physical being. The encounter scares Simon to the point that he faints in the face of the pig head. The pig head tells him that the other boys do not like him, and that the island will eventually lead to the deaths of all of the boys.

The boys split up into two groups as Jack leaves Ralph's leadership and goes off with other boys to be hunters. The two boys had held a very tense relationship regarding the island's leadership. I believe that the stories of the beast made this relationship even more tense. Both boys had different views of how to deal with the beast. Jack took a more aggressive stance, while Ralph would rather just avoid the monster to keep the fire going. It seems that Jack has lost the will to be rescued because he doesn't care about making any signals for ships to see. Ralph is almost consumed by the thoughts of keeping the fire going. Both boys are tiptoeing the line between lunacy and sanity. Simon also seems to be losing his sanity. He is becoming more and more solitary, withdrawing from the rest of the group. I believe that this may foreshadowing some ominous event.

The boys paranoia grows as two of the twins say they have spotted the beast. Jack's ego also continues to grow. He seems to be offended by Ralph's leadership. Anytime Ralph gives an order, Jack comes at him with some sarcastic or rude remark. This may be because Jack has always been in charge of groups he has been a part of, such as the choir. Ralph and Jack take turns leading a group of boys up the mountain, on the hunt for the beast. Ralph and Jack's personalites clash as the expedition moves up the mountain. Eventually only three boys are left. Jack presses Ralph to go on, but Ralph refuses. Jack's ego pushes him up the mountain, only to be deflated as he sees the beast, sending him running back for where Ralph and the other boy set up camp. Ralph is also paralzyed at the site of the beast. I feel that the differences in personality of the two boys will eventually lead to an epic clash and possibly a death or two.

The social structure of the boys on the island begins to fall apart. Jack's personality begins to change. The time he has spent on the island, along with his obsession with hunting pigs probably has something to do with his personality change. He repeatedly challenges Ralph at the meetings by the lagoon and he appears to resent Ralph's elected authority. Ralph becomes very angry at Jack for letting the signal fire on the mountain go out. Jack had been hunting pigs while he was supposed to be watching the fire. Ralph's demeanor on the island also begins to change. The initial optimism has died and Ralph has realized that being stuck on the island may not end well. He also begins to realize that he cannot trust many of the boys on the island to do their jobs. This leads Ralph to become pesimistic. Many of smaller boys on the island also being to resent Ralph's leadership.

The boys begin to realize that living on this island is not going to be very fun. Ralph and Simon construct shelters for everyone, while Jack tries to kill his first pig. All the other boys go and play in the ocean or sleep. Ralph begins to become frustrated because all of the other boys won't work. His leadership skills seem to be slipping because he cannot seem to get the boys to do what he wants. Simon is becoming more and more withdrawn. This is a sharp contrast to what at first he came across as. He seemed at first very outgoing, but this may have just been a cover for something that he is hiding. Jack seems to be becoming obsessed with sticking and killing a pig. He only talks of killing pigs and every thought he has includes pigs in some way. This obsession may have started because of the boredom of living on the island. The pigs offer a hobby that help focus him away from other things.

Lord of the Flies Pages 20-40

The boys begin exploring the island. Ralph leads a pack of three around the island. It is clear that Ralph has emerged as the alpha-male of the group because all of the other boys seem to listen to him and do what he tells them to do. At first, Jack the choirboy seems very confrontational. He seems to take an aggressive stance against Ralph after Ralph has called all of the boys with the conch shell. This aggressive attitude eventually gives way to a submissive attitude when Jack goes along with what Ralph says. The other boy Simon is a very odd character. At first he seems quite melodramatic, but a little later in the novel he seems like a very quiet character who speaks only when spoken too. Piggy also begins to change as the story goes on. He seems withdrawn in the first few pages of the novel, but later in the novel, he seems to be outspoken and assertive.

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.
