Point of View
One of the points of view is the boys VS the island.
This is important to know because it helps us get how serious this situation is. Their are all these boys, no older then twelve and they are against the forces of nature, they have no control over what happens to them.
Another point of view is Jack vs Ralph. This is important because otherwise we will not lean the lesson that we need to learn from the story.

Setting
The setting is an island. Their are creeper vines everywhere and pig trails almost everywhere you look.
