Lord of the Flies Exam- Questions and AnswersChapter One Correct Ans-Through dialogue between Ralph and Piggy it is revealed that a
nuclear war of some sort has occurred and these private school boys were being evacuated
when their plane when down on this island. Ralph and Piggy make their way out of the jungle
to the beach and continue to talk.
Ralph is excited at the thought of having no adults and being on this island alone, he thinks it
will be a lot of fun. While going for a swim he finds a conch shell. Piggy tells him he can blow
into it and use it as a sort of calling device. He does and slowly more boys aged six to twelve
emerge from the jungle.
The boys all meet and choose Ralph as a leader. Ralph appoints Jack and the choirboys the
hunters while Piggy is made the administrative assistant of sorts. He has to collect the names
of the boys and make a roster. Later Ralph, Simon and Jack tour the island and verify it is
uninhabited. They spot a wild baby pig and Jack tries to kill it but misses. He vows he'll get it
next time.
Chapter Two Correct Ans-After returning from the excursion around the island Ralph blows
the conch to call a meeting. He starts to lay down a few rules but Jack continues to interrupt
and then leads a charge up the mountain to start a fire. The fire gets out of control and turns
into a forest fire of sorts. Piggy gets upset noting that they should have been more careful and
thought more before setting such a large fire where the littluns had been playing. He says they
could have killed some of the little boys.
Ralph tries to place the blame on Piggy noting that he should have had a list of the boys done
and known where they were. If he had known all of this they wouldn't have been in danger.
No one is really listening, they are all trying not to face reality.

Chapter Three Correct Ans-Jack goes out on the hunt again and this time tracks the pigs.
He returns unsuccessful and upset at his inability to bring back a kill. Meanwhile Ralph and
Simon work on creating sturdy structures. Ralph thinks it is the most important thing that
needs to be done and should be everyone's priority. He is upset because all the boys
promised to help but only Simon has done so.
When Jack returns he and Ralph butt heads about what is most important. Simon sneaks
away to his secret place in the jungle for some much needed alone time.
Chapter Four Correct Ans-The littluns play on the beach and build sandcastles. Two of the
older boys, Maurice and Roger return from the jungle and stomp through their sandcastles,
destroying them. Jack gets his group together and they paint their faces. He also coerces Sam
and Eric into joining him even though they are supposed to stay and tend to the fire.
Ralph spots a boat and is certain they will be rescued because they have had a signal fire
going since the first day. But Simon points out that there is no longer smoke rising from the
mountainside. Ralph, Piggy and Simon rush up the mountain and find that the fire is out. By
the time they get there the boat is no longer in sight.
Later Jack and the hunting group return with a pig carcass. Ralph becomes extremely upset
about the fact that they let the fire go out and prevented their rescue. Jack and his hunters
gather around the fire pit and reenact the hunt in a celebratory ritual tribe dance.
Chapter Five Correct Ans-Ralph calls a meeting and brings up the boys pledge that they
were all going to work together and build shelters, keep the fire going and maintain a clean
water supply. He then brings up the conversation on everyone's mind, the beast. Different
boys share their opinions. Piggy brings up a rational scientific explanation for the beastie.
Simon explains that the beast may really just be a fear that everyone has within them. That
the beast is own our fears. Jack says that if there was a so called beast he would have already

of one glass of Piggy's specs.
Chapter Six Correct Ans-After the events of the group meeting everyone goes to sleep.
Meanwhile an aerial battle is going and a dead man floats down onto the island. He lands on
the top of the mountain and his parachute is inflated and deflated by the wind. Sam and Eric,
on the mountain tending to the fire, see something and hear the sound of the parachute.
They flee in terror to Ralph and tell him an exaggerated tale about what they saw.
Ralph decides they need to investigate the one point of the island they haven't yet visited, a
castle like rocky beach point. They all go and the boys play for several hours while Ralph
continues to talk about the need to check on the fire.
Ralph Correct Ans-The elected leader of the boys and the main protagonist. He is neither
the smartest nor the strongest but has a kind of quiet charisma and good looks. He tries to
keep the boys focused on domestic order and the rules of civilization but loses his authority
and almost his life to Jack's seizure of power.
Piggy Correct Ans-Subject of the group's ridicule for his weight, asthma, and general lack
of physical prowess or stamina. He provides the brains of the group, as well as the spectacles
