Read Chapter 1 of "Lord of the Flies". Write a paragraph summarising the key events of the chapter. You can either complete this in your exercise book or as a comment on this blog post.
In the opening chapter of lord of the flies we meet the first two characters Ralph and Piggy who instantly start to explore the island which they are situated in whilst together they decide that they need to find out if there are other people on the island and if so how do they contact them. In the end they find a shell which Ralph blows causing gradually many other school boys to emerge. From that point they decide to delegate a chief, which is Ralph as he voted for by the other boys resulting in him taking charge to further explore the island.
-Two boys: Ralph fair-skinned, small and Piggy, fat with glasses in a jungle. -They go searching. -Ralph laughs at Piggy's name. Ralph first, then followed by Piggy jump in to the pool. -Ralph's father works in the Navy (possibly might be dead due to the atom bomb)and Piggy's father is dead. He used to live with his auntie. -Piggy's worried that he is going to die on the island. -Ralph and Piggy gather a beautiful shell (a conch) from the water; Ralph blows in it, making a sound that lets people know where they are. Lots of boys from the school gather around. -Jack instructs the choir to sit and is very demanding. He wants to speak to a grownup, but understands that everyone will have to look after themselves as there are none. -Ralph and Jack are voted for chief, however Ralph wins. -Ralph orders Jack and Simon to accompany him on an expedition. Piggy wants to come too, but Ralph declines his appeal. Piggy is hurt that Ralph let everyone know that he was called Piggy. Ralph barely apologises and orders him to go back to the platform. -The three plod on and begin to explore. Massive creepers and cliffs stand in their way. With great teamwork they manage to push a boulder out of the way. -A piglet is caught in the creeper. Jack brings his knife down to kill it, but decides against it. The pig gets away. Jack defends himself and says that the next time there will be no mercy.
~We discover 2 boys, Ralph and Piggy. To begin with Ralph seems to be the inherently evil one and Piggy as the follower. Piggy was bullied at school, confides in Ralph and ends up having it thrown back at him.
~The Boys find a pink shell and blow through it as a signal or other survivors.
~Boys start emerging from the forest onto the beach
~The choir boys emerge in formation, lead by Jack. They decide there needs to be some sort of hierarchy. The choir boys vote for Jack and the remaining boys vote for Ralph. Jack wins however puts the choir boys in charge of hunting and makes Jack their leader.
~Ralph wants to go exploring and asks Jack and a member of the choir to go with him. Piggy gets upset when he gets told to say despite begging to join in.
~They go exploring, through the forest and reach a mountain. They climb it and look over the island, seeing it's empty with no sign of civilisation.
~On their way back, they find a pig caught in the undergrowth. Jack takes out his knife to kill it but couldn't bring himself to do it. He says that next time he won't hesitate.

- Once as chief Ralph decides that himself Simon and Jack should go and explore to see if they're on an Island. -During choosing who should go Ralph and Piggy have a small altercation as Piggy wanted to go. - They go exploring and climb a mountain and realise there is no civilisation no adults and they are the only one. - Heading back after they've decided they're hungry and have got what they came for they discover a pig. - Jack took out his knife to kill the pig but couldn't bring himself to do so; so in his defense he said next time he would show no mercy and the boys were still left hugry.
