Chapter 1
Ralph and Piggy meet, and Ralph is instantly presented as superior: “Ralph’s golden
body”
“ ‘I was the only boy what had asthma,’ said the fat boy (...) ‘And I’ve been wearing specs
since I was three’ ”
The conch is found and blown, boys begin to appear: “Yet most powerfully, there was
the conch”
Jack and his choir: “The boy who controlled them”
“a party of boys marching approximately in step”
A meeting is held as well as a vote for Chief. Ralph is voted Chief: “ ‘I ought to be chief,’
said Jack with simple arrogance”
“ ‘I’m Chief then.’ the circle of boys broke into applause”
Jack feels embarrassed that he was not voted Chief: “a blush of mortification”
Simon, Jack and Ralph explore the island and believe it is a good island: “The air was
thick with butterflies, lifting, fluttering, settling”
“This is a good island”
Jack finds a pig but cannot bring himself to kill it: “because of the unbearable blood”
Chapter 2
Rules are made- the start of democracy: “ ‘We’ll have, Hands up, like at school’ “
A littleun talks of a ‘beastie’, and Jack says they’ll hunt it: “ ‘The beastie came in the
dark’ “
“ ‘We’d hunt and kill it’ “
A fire is made
The fire gets out of control and a littleun gets caught in it and dies: “The flames as
though they were a kind of wildlife crept”
“ ‘That littleun had a mark on his face - where is he now?’ “
Jack and Ralph argue over priorities: “ ‘We want meat’ “
“ ‘Well (...) we’ll need shelters’ “
Jack is becoming obsessed with hunting: “The madness came into his eyes ‘I thought I
might kill.’ “
Simon finds his special place
Chapter 3
Roger starts throwing stones at a littleun: “Roger stooped, picked up a stone, aimed and
threw it at Henry”
, Jack gains confidence with his new face paint: “The mask compelled them”
Ralph sees a ship but the signal fire is out
Jack has killed a pig: “ ‘I cut the pig’s throat,’ said Jack, proudly, and yet twitched as he
said it.”
Ralph doesn’t approve because Jack let the fire out: “Jack stood up as he said this, the
bloodied knife in his hand. The boys faced each other”
Jack hits Piggy, breaking his specs: “stuck his fist into Piggy’s stomach”
“ ‘I got to have them specs. Now I only got one eye’ “
Jack apologises about the fire.
The meat is handed out. Piggy is given none.
A reenactment of the hunt is made: “As they danced they sang ‘Kill the pig. Cut her throat.
Bash her in.’ “
Chapter 5
Another meeting is held, and Ralph begins to doubt his capability as Chief: “ ‘I can’t
think, not like Piggy’ “
Ralph reinforces rules. They are not being followed: “ ‘We decide things. But they don’t
get done.’ “
Jack rejects the rules: “ ‘Bollocks to the rules!’ “
The assembly breaks up: “The assembly shredded away”
Ralph wants to give up his position as Chief. They wish that adults were on the island:
“ ‘Grown-ups know things (...) then things ‘ud be all right’ “
Chapter 6
A dead parachutist lands on the island
SamnEric sees the parachutist and thinks its the beast
Another assembly is held to discuss
Jack arranges a hunt for the beast: “ ‘This’ll be a real hunt!’ “
The hunt goes to Castle Rock. It's empty but Jack thinks its a good fort
Chapter 7
Simon predicts that Ralph will go back home: “ ‘You’ll get back all right’ “
