Lord of the Flies tells the story of a group of British schoolboys who are stranded on an uninhabited island. After giving up hope of rescue the boys attempt to build a functioning society.
In the absence of guidance from adults, and lacking their own experience mistakes are quickly made. Two factions emerge one led by Ralph representing order, civilization, and democracy; The other led by Jack who points his group to the pursuit of savagery and violence.
The story show power can corrupt people and how society can quickly break down without rules. It is a tale of human nature, of good vs back, and order vs chaos. The book is often read by high school students, who, like the boys in the story don’t have the experience to relate to the issues of society. However, if you reread the story as an adult the lessons become much more powerful.
