What is the Summary of Lord of the Flies?
The story talks about a group of boys who are stranded on an island and are forced to build a system of governance for their sustenance and survival.
The book is set during the course of a war and they are stranded in the island because their plane was shot down and they elect their leader, Ralph because he is resourceful and knowledgeable but he has an antagonist, Jack, who is charismatic and strong.
Based on the fact that there is the absence of adults, the children soon degenerate into violence and anarchy as they begin to fight among themselves, showing their savage nature.
Jack constantly opposes Ralph and when they take their signal fire to go hunting for monsters, they miss their chance to be rescued as a boat cruises by.
There is a revolt by Jack who starts his own tribe who paint their faces and behave in a savage manner and they end up murdering Simon and Piggy before they are rescued by a British naval officer.
