Sypnosis The boys are slowly starting getting used to the fact of nobody coming to save them, giving up hope and getting used to being on the island and being in the warm humid weather. The little ones play during the day and eat fruit, but keep getting more and more scared that the "beastie" is going to come and kill them. They keep reminding everyone that it hunts at night, which is disturbing the littuns sleep. Ralph and Piggy see a ship out on the water but realize that the fire has gone out and Jack and the hunters haven't stuck to there responsibility of keeping the fire going, they're furious and wait for the hunters return. Once they return it's hard for Ralph and Piggy to get a word in, the hunters have caught a pig and are chanting with excitment. Ralph confront Jack aboout the fire but is blocked out from the chanting. Piggy makes a remark about Jack and the hunters' immaturity, Jack slaps him in the face; breaking his glasses. Ralph gets in a heated conversation with Jack. Jack admits that he failed to keep the signal fire going, but never apologizes to piggy. Ralph takes Piggys glasses and starts a fire, Jack resents against Ralph because of this. The night goes on and they roast the pig.

Point of view This book is written in third person, making it easy to see everyones point of view and feel the atmosphere between all the boys and how there feeling about whats happening to them. Also makes it easier to keep on track to whats going on in the book. Setting The story is taking place in a tropical untouched island, the boys have crashed there on a plane during world war 2 and are stuck. It makes the story more intense and dangerous where the author has made the setting, leaving the boys to try and co-operate and work together to try and survive until found. Notes The author is very discriptive and symbolic with his writting. He keeps a realistic feeling throughout the book Theme The main theme I seem to notice is the juggle of power between one another and how barbaric things can get fighting over leadership.
