Period: to
Becoming The Savage
The fate of the once civilized British School boys. -
The First Meeting
Piggy and Ralph seem to stick together pretty well. They hagve no clue weather or not they are the only two who survived the crash. While walking along the shore Piggy spotted a Conch shell. He knew that this could make a loud noise, sort of like a trumpet, so he told Ralph to blow into it to see if anyone comes. Piggy couldn't blow into the shell because he has asthma. Slowly other kids show up to where they are. Eventually They gather everyone who is on the island. -
The First Metting Cont.
Last to show up is the choir boys. They are led by the head boy, Jack. The meeting gets underway. They vote for cheif and Ralph wins. The first decision was to see is they were actually on an island or not. Piggy's mission is to find out who is there. Since Ralph is Cheif Jack is nominated to lead the Hunting Party which would be the Choir Boys. -
The Search
Ralph, Jack, and Simon go and search the island to see what was there, and if it was actually an island. While this was going on It was Piggy's mission to figure out who was on the island. While the boys were searching they found a mountain, this they decided would suit for the home of a signal fire. -
First Fail
Jack was trying to kill a pig, but he failed. He couldn't bring himself to do it. He is ashamed in himself so he tries harder from there on out. Eventually creating an obession within himself and the other hunters. -
The Hunt
The choir boys go out for the hunt to see if they can get some meat. They end up failing the first time but they eventually make their kill. This starts the decent. They chant "Kill the pig, Cut her throat, Spill her blood." This also shows some resentment towards women. -
Fire
They start a fire so they could signal down a ship to get rescued. They get a tad bit too excited though at first. -
Burning Down the Island
The boys get a bit wild when they make their signal fire and it spreads through the island. it doesn't destroy the island but it does kill the boy with the birthmark. -
Fear
The boys develop a fear that makes them imagine things that aren't there. It starts with the littluns and their nightmares. Once these were told everyone else started to consider the possibility of them being real. this fear resides with them until the end. -
Dead Man Flying
The boys see soething in the air and they assume that its the beast. However it is a dead man from an airplane crash. They fear this when his stuff could have saved them. -
I think there's something in the water....
Instead of the beast being in the air they now think its in the water. It's just another fear they develop, but it shows the separation between reality and fantsay. -
Hiding your true identity
Jack starts painting his face so he is hidden. The rest of the hunters do this also. This shows us how they are descending into being the savage -
Piggy
He is the smart, civilized boy. He thinks before he does anything. He has Asthma and is heavy-set. He is more concerned about the big picture (survival) than the little picture which would be fun. -
Survival
Hunting, at first its so they can survive. They have to have some sort of meat in their diet. -
Roger
Roger is a curious character. He is crazy and mean. He throws rocks at the Lilltluns. He's an all around reference to the devil. -
The fire goes out
The boys who were suppose to be watching the fire left and went hunting. This is a slight sign of not caring about being rescued. While the fire was out a boat passed by and they missed a chance to be rescued. -
The First Dance
The dance is a ritual about the Hunt. It shows the savagery, and the obsession instead of the need. -
Hippie or savage?
The boy's hair starts growing and their manners disappear. Piggy is about the only one who seems to be keeping his normal length, compared to the rest. -
Obsession
Hunting is no longer for survival but more for the pure amusement. The hunters are completely absorbed by the kill. -
SamnEric
The twins. They are basically one person. They finish each others sentences and stick together throughout the entire book. When one is weak the other becomes stronger to compromise for the other's weakness. -
Ralph
Ralph is protagonist. He tries to maintain order amongst the boys but he isn't powerful enough to fend off Jack let alone Roger for long. -
Lord Of The Flies
The Lord Of The Flies is a pigs head on a spear sharpened on both ends. One end is put in the ground and on the other end the hunters place the pigs head. -
Simon
Simon is beaten to death as he is comming out of the forest. He was about to tell everyone who the beast actually was, but he came out of the woods in the middle of the night in the middle of one of the ritual dances. He was beaten and everyone tries to block it out of their mind. -
Jack
Jack is the antagonist in the book. He isn't completely evil but he is an extreme control freak. He was head boy and ahead of the choir. He was elected by Ralph as the head of the Hunter also. From the start he hates Piggy and makes fun of him. -
The Littluns
The little boys on the island. They are terrified and creating a fantsay world amoungst themselves. They are almost forgotten by the older boys. The little ones fend for themselves for the most part. I thik they represent the boys in a whole. They symbolize everyone's youth, and when they play everyones care-free feelings. -
Hunting the Beast
The older boys go out and hunt down the beast. They see what they think the beast is on top of the mountian but its just the man from the air. They get scared and decide to move the fire to the beach instead of the mountian. -
Separation
The tribe separates. The hunters go with Jack and the littluns, Piggy, and SamnEric stay with Ralph. -
