Concise Book Report - Lord of the Flies


            
             During a horrible war, a plane evacuating a group of schoolboys from Britain is shot down over a deserted tropical island. Two boys, Ralph and Piggy, come across a conch shell and realize they could use it to summon the other boys. Once they gathered everyone, the boys started electing a leader and planning a way to be rescued. They choose Ralph as their leader, and Ralph chooses another boy, Jack, to be in charge of the boys who will hunt food for the entire group. When they first start off they all still act like young boys and play around and stuff but as they live on the island longer everyone's true colors come out. Some people turn against each other and some become violent. This leads to destruction on the island.
             Main Character.
             The main character is Ralph. He is appointed as leader of the group in the beginning. He is a young boy with a good heart and just wants the best for the rest of the boys and wants to get everyone off the island. Most interesting character: The most interesting character to me was Jack. Jack has attitude and fights and stands up for what he wants. He's the antagonist in the book. He ends up turning evil and doing bad things and that intrigued me because it made me realize we all have a little bit of Jack in us.
             Passage One .
             'Maybe," he said hesitantly, "maybe there is a beast." The assembly cried out savagely and Ralph stood up in amazement. "You, Simon? You believe this?" "I don't know," said Simon. His heartbeats were choking him. "But" The storm broke. "Sit down!" "Shut up!" "Take the conch!" "Sod you!" "Shut up!" Ralph shouted. "Hear him! He's got the conch!" "What I mean is maybe it's only us." I chose this short passage because they are all scared and talking about a beast that they believe lurks throughout the island and is afraid it is going to kill them.
