English Literature - lord of flies (chapter 1-4)

Lord of the flies

A plan crashes on a desert island and the only survivours, a group od school boys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By the day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast. As the boys' delicate sense of order fades, so their childish dreams are transformed into something more primitive and their behaviour starts to take on murderous, savage significance.
