CHAPTER1 summary

In this chapter we discover that a airplane crash in the water close to an island. It crashed while transporting boys to a safe place during the war. Few boys survive. At first you meet Piggy (the fatty) and Ralph
(the athlete). Together they discover a conch and ralph use it to call the other kids that scattered on the island
.As the boys come, Piggy memorize their name.
There's this guy called Jack that is really bossy and that have his own choir. Jack and Ralph both want to be leader of the boys, it ended up by ralph being elected. They start to exclude Piggy, they mock him alot and don't let him talk. Piggy is asthmatic and wears glasses. Jack,Simon, and Ralph goes off in the forest to search for food and while walking they disscovered that they were the only ones on the island. They discovered that there's pigs but Jack is unable to kill . We find out later in this chapter that Ralph and Piggy are two different people piggy is in the lower class but smart,he's an orphan and live with his aunt. Ralph,on the other hand, is rich and have a dad that's in the navy he is sure that his dad will come and rescue them from this island. We know now that Jack doesn't really care about others but he develpped compassion for Ralph.

I don't think that Jack develops commpassion for Ralph. I think that Jack likes him because Ralph made him the leader over the 'hunters.' >chief<

Nice summary, I didn't really notice that Piggy memorized everyone's name(My mistake ^o^!)

The summary is detailed and makes a good introduction to the main characters. I think Jack,simon and Ralph are going to explore the island, not only serching for food.Also I don't think Ralph is as want to be the leader as Jack.I can't understand why Jack developed compassion for Ralph?
