Lord Of The Flies Book Blog

The story starts with a plane crashing onto a deserted island, stranding a group of schoolboys differing from young and oldest. With no adult survivors, they must survive all on their own and they eventually select a chief to lead them. The main character, Ralph, is elected chief after blowing on a conch shell to assemble a meeting. He eventually sets rules in order for everyone to follow and he even comes up for a way to get rescued by making a fire in order to send a signal to any nearby ships. But eventually everything falls apart as a mysterious beast roams in the island, frightening the boys enough in order to rebel against Ralph and kill the beast themselves without Ralph ordering them around. This eventually leads to chaos and brutal murders with one another. Ralph tries to keep it under control but eventually loses hope in ever getting rescued.

In my opinion, the plot for this book was really great and so climatic. Out of all the characters in the story, my favorite was Jack. His development throughout the book was the most drastic out of all the characters. And I really liked that about his characters. It made the book more interesting to read. The words used in this book were quite strange and hard to read but it was published in the 1950s. Overall, I think this book is great for anyone interested survival and adventure stories.
