Lord of the Flies

Lord of the FliesChapter 1 Summary

A plane that was carrying a group of schoolboys who were trying to escape a war was shot down

Ralph and Piggy meet, explore a little, and find a conch in the water

Ralph, with help from Piggy and several practice rounds, blew into the conch, which made a horn-like sound

The boys from the crash assembled on the beach after hearing the conch, all of them unsure what the sound was

Jack, Simon, and the choir boys were introduced

Ralph was elected as the chief

Ralph appointed Jack to be in charge of the hunters

Piggy was made fun of by the boys. He was immediately disliked because he talked too much.

Jack, Ralph, and Simon climbed up the mountain to make sure that they were on an island

Its an island!

On their way back down the mountain, the three boys encountered their first wild pig. Jack froze and failed to kill it.

Ralph, Jack, and Simon go back down to the beach to tell everyone else their findings.
