The Lord Of The Flies: An Analysis

The Lord of the Flies explores the facts that some children can become savages and start to kill anything blindly that can get in their way. The Lord of the Flies starts out with Ralph meeting Piggy. Their conversation started out with the background of the situation and thinking they were the only ones on the island. More boys appeared from sea. All the boys were on the same plane and crashed but made it out separately and at different times.
