Chapter 1



"People Are Not Resources." - The Philosopher Developer. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Aug. 2013. <http://philosopherdeveloper.com/posts/people-are-not-resources.html>.

In the first chapter of the book "Lord of The Flies", the author uses a wide range of vocabulary to describe the setting and one of the main characters the book. This in a way confuses the reader as to what is going on. He then starts to describe the characters in the book. He uses dialogues to make the reader know who and what kind of people the characters where. He starts to name the characters in the chapter, one's name is Ralph and another Piggy. Although Piggy is just the boy's nickname, he really hates to be called it. During a conversation on the beach Piggy notices a big shell in the shore of the beach. He then convinces Ralph to blow through a hole in it so that it could sound like a trumpet and attract the other lost boys on the island. From more development in this chapter we come to know about Ralph and Piggy, in the later stages of the chapter we come to know of more of Ralph's leadership qualities. We also come to know that once the smaller children come to know Ralph, they appoint him the leader of the whole group. However there was another candidate who was nominated and voted for as leader but unfortunately lost. His name was Jack. The author describes Jack to be an older boy and leading the boys choir in this big group. Ralph then makes a hunting group and appointed Jack as the leader. Then Jack and another boy named Simon move to explore the jungle.
