The book has won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1983. Lord of the Flies shows that if we leave our civilization, humans can become very barbaric and inhuman just to live another day. We will do just about anything, if it means that we can save ourselves from dying. It is a long story about how some school children become stranded on an island, and must find a way to escape without turning on each other. They must work together to survive, and find a way not to fight with each other. This book takes place on a deserted tropical island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The island is very dark, and always seems to be alive. The boys feel that the island is cursed, and that it is almost making them go crazy.Ralph is an athletic, and rather charismatic. In the beginning, he was elected the leader of the group. Ralph is very logical, and thinks more than most of the other characters. Instead of acting before thinking, he thinks before he acts. On the other hand, Jack is almost the opposite of him. He was running up against Ralph in the election, but he hadn’t won. Ralph had named him leader of the hunters. Jack and Ralph always have thought of each other as rivals, so they have always competed with each other. Jack is savage, and will always kill even before he thinks. Both of them have a mutual disliking of each other, and they tend to fight with each other.Lord of the Flies starts off when a group of British schoolboys are flying away from England to escape from a war. The plane was shot down over the ocean. The schoolboys survived, but the pilot was nowhere to be found. They find themselves trapped on a deserted island. After crashing, all of the boys begin to scatter all about the island. Ralph and Piggy are introduced together. Ralph is an athletic and muscular boy, and Piggy is obese and has asthma. They are wondering where all of the other boys went, when Piggy finds a conch shell in the lagoon. Ralph blows on the conch shell, hoping that all of the other boys come to them. Just about all of the boys come to the beach, where a meeting is held. Ralph notices that there are boys of all ages and sizes. There are little ones, known as littluns, and big ones, known as biguns. Ralph, Jack, and Simon, a small boy, explore the island. The boys are able to create a fire using Piggy’s glasses, but when they do not pay attention to it, the fire engulfs some of the island. A small boy is lost during the fire, and he is nowhere to be found. Ralph and Jack begin to butt heads, when Ralph says that they should focus on maintaining the fire, while Jack says that they should hunt. One morning when Ralph and Piggy see a ship sailing off in the distance, they go look in horror to see that Jack and his hunters have let the signal fire burn out.Ralph tells Jack off, and Jack proposes that he should be chief, but no one will vote him chief. Ralph calls for a meeting, where many littluns are having some nightmares about a beast that lurks on the island. The biguns convince them that there are no such beasts, and they tell them to move on. That night, some military planes engage in battle over the island. A parachutist who is dead slowly falls down on to the island. The twins Sam and Eric, who fell asleep tending the fire, woke up to see the silhouette. They rush back to camp, telling everyone that they saw the monster that the littluns were talking about. Every boy organizes into hunting groups to search for the monster. Ralph and Jack travel up the mountain together. When they see the person, they think that it is some sort of deformed ape. Back at the camp, Jack claims Ralph is a coward, and he runs off to form a new tribe, and calls people to join him. Later, Jack’s group kills a sow, decapitates its head, and places it on a stick for an offering to the beast. Simon later encounters the Lord of the Flies, and believes that it is talking to him. It tells him that he can never escape, and that he exists within all men. As tensions rise between the two tribes, everyone must watch their backs. The children become bloodthirsty, and act savage. Ralph’s tribe and Jack’s tribe begin to fight, with both sides hoping to not only survive, but escape this island.William Golding’s Lord of the Flies shows us what we can become if we are not in an orderly civilization. His use of Old English can make the book difficult to understand, so it can be a very challenging book. This is a phenomenal book and I highly recommend this book for readers who are up for a challenge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lord of the flies *by on Reviewed in the United States June 7, 2026* Great novel ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is not the Lord of the Flies.
