Lord of the Flies

For class I read Lord of the Flies by William Golding. The book was actually better than what i had expected. Some parts of it were super hard and confusing but i'm pretty sure i understand the book pretty well now. A bunch of boys on a plane crashland on an island. Ralph becomes the voted leader of the group much to the disliking of Jack. The two go through a power struggle through the whole book. Ralph puts Jack in charge of hunting. At first Jack justifys his constant hunting by saying they want meat but later it turns into him becoming savage. The boys think their is a beast on the island but really its inside all of them. Almost all of the boys on the island are hunting and looking for the beast. A bunch of the boys end up dying as everyone becomes more savage on the island. They believe the beast can change shapes so they killed Simon, the only one who knew the truth about the beast. They end up getting rescued but only after becoming animals at heart. This causes them to reflect on all that they had done on the island.
