Setting The setting is on an island where the boys plane has crashed and the pilot has died leaving them with no adults. The island is completely untouched by humans and they are completely vulnerable to all the dangers and things that could happen to them. This story is taking place during WW2. The fact that they think nobody knows that they have crashed gives the whole storey more pressure and stress toward surviving. Notes about writing The author is very realistic and careful/different(?) about his writing in a way and very symbolic with his words. Theme Humanity and civilization being created/maintained and relating to WW2. Showing how barbaric and chaotic fighting for power can get.
