Piggy has the idea of using the conch to call survivors together. Jack and his choir turn up. Ralph is elected leader and, with Jack and Simon, explores the island. They find a trapped piglet, but Jack cannot wield the knife.\u003Cbr>At a meeting, Ralph imposes some rules. He is optimistic about rescue, but one little boy mentions seeing a beast. They start a signal fire, using Piggy’s glasses, but it spreads out of control. Piggy notices some of the small boys are going missing and is frustrated at the mistakes they have made.\u003Cbr>Jack is naked and hunts (unsuccessfully) in the forest. Ralph struggles to build shelters without co-operation and argues with Jack about their priorities. Simon casts doubt on the safety of the island and isolates himself in the jungle.\u003Cbr>The boys divide into “littluns” and “biguns”. Roger enjoys tormenting the littluns. Jack paints his face and leads the hunt. Ralph sees a ship but realises the fire has gone out because Jack is hunting. When they return with a dead pig, the boys argue. Jack hits Piggy and breaks his glasses. The boys eat the pig.\u003Cbr>Ralph calls a meeting and tries to reestablish the rules. They talk about the existence of the beast and the assembly descends into chaos. Jack opposes Ralph over the importance of rules.\u003Cbr>Sam and Eric alert the boys to a dead parachutist that has landed on the island. Thinking it to be the Beast, the older boys go looking for it.\u003Cbr>Simon reassures Ralph. The boys (including Ralph) unsuccessfully hunt a boar, but then re-enact the hunt on a boy named Robert. Jack, Ralph and Roger find the ‘Beast’ and run away, terrified.\u003Cbr>Jack calls a meeting to challenge Ralph’s leadership, but is defeated. Jack’s group separate, and they sadistically kill a pig, much to Roger’s enjoyment. Jack’s band, naked and painted, raid for fire to cook the pig, tempting some to join him as Chief. Simon has a kind of hallucination and blacks out.\u003Cbr>Simon sees the dead parachutist and realises the truth. Apart from Ralph and Piggy, all are feasting with Jack. Ralph tries to take control, but Jack leads the others in a tribal frenzy. When Simon emerges, they kill him in a kind of manic trance, imagining that he is the Beast. Simon’s body floats away to sea.\u003Cbr>Piggy and Ralph reflect on Simon’s death, but Jack now leads the others through violence. Jack’s gang steal Piggy’s glasses in order to have total control.\u003Cbr>Jack and Ralph fight and Piggy tries to use the conch to make them see reason. Roger levers a huge rock onto Piggy, smashing the conch and causing Piggy to fall to his death. Jack hurls a spear at Ralph, who flees for his life.\u003Cbr>Now alone, Ralph is hunted to the death by Jack and his gang. A naval officer arrives, Ralph is spared and the boys are rescued. | Lord of the Flies | | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> Background\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>William Golding was inspired by ‘The Coral Island’ by RM Ballantyne. The two books share character names and a plot of shipwrecked boys. As a teacher, Golding wanted to portray a more realistic portrayal of what would happen if boys were put in that situation.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>The book is partially an allegory, meaning there is a deeper meaning behind the surface story. For example, the boys can be seen to represent different aspects of humanity and the conch is symbolic of democracy.\u003Cbr>Although, not explicitly specified when and where the novel is set, Golding had experienced the events of WW2 during his time in the Royal Navy.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Structure and Form\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>The novel has the form of an adventure story.\u003Cbr>It is linear, with twelve chapters,(each with an exciting chapter heading) .\u003Cbr>An example of dystopian fiction, Golding uses symbolism and allegory to portray the island as a microcosm of society and the real world.\u003Cbr>The author builds fear and tension through foreshadowin","cbCaicOx5yH3DC3T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicOx5yH3DC3T","pdf",540726,"English","# Plot\n## Background\n## Structure and Form\n# Sample Exam Question\n## Question prompt","[{\"question\":\"What does the document say about the novel’s background and inspiration?\",\"answer\":\"It states that William Golding was inspired by The Coral Island by R.
