Chapter 1: Lord of The Flies, pages 1-32

Chapter 1 of the book was a real attention getter. it really made great points that you really have to pay attention to to understand. The book states in different ways how these events relate to real life situations.

For example; When the boys all come together after Ralph has blown the conch they demostrate a common socitety. The use a voting system to elect a leader of the group. In todays society they elect a leader wich we all know is he president who runs the country. They elected Ralph to be the leader because he was the one who brought them all together in the first place. Jakck on the other hand didnt get elected because of the way he said he should be the leader of the group. Jack has the personality of a leader on the outside, but on the inside he is no different from any of the other boys.

Another way they show a modern day societyis with the difference in social classes amoong the group pf boys. There are many different social classes among the boys. There are the boys who are big and strong and who will lead the group. Then there are the younger more imature kids that just follow the older ones so they would be the followers of the society they have goinng on the island. in modern day society there are the different social classes. in todays society there are the higher class people the middle class people and the people who are at the bottom.
