I am currently reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding.The story of Lord of the Flies is when many young boys are stranded on an island after a crash. The boys start to develop a society of their own, so some boys hunt, some help make shelter and then there is one boy who is the leader. The leaders name is Ralph, he was voted in by the rest of the boys because he had good leader ship skills. The hunters are a group of boys that are a Choir, and their leader is named Jack. Jack seems to be very controlling and wants to be the leader instead of Ralph. Finally there is a character named Piggy and he and Ralph were the first ones that were introduced to the story, and Piggy is a very foolish boy that is described as fat. He looks up to Ralph and assists him as well.
These boys all have an ordinary world that seems to somewhere in Great Britain because they all speak with a British accent. I'm not too sure where they all come from because no one has described about their ordinary world except for two characters Ralph and Piggy. Piggy sounds like that his parents have died and he lives with his Aunt, that is all that is said Piggy's home life that he lives with his Aunt. Ralph on the other hand had a dream about his home life, and it sounds like Ralph lives on a farm or with a rich family because the narrator describes that in his dream he is feeding horses and someone telling him to come for tea.
"Ralph was dreaming. He had fallen asleep after what seemed hours of tossing and turning nosily among the dry leaves. Even the sounds of nightmare from the other shelters no longer reached him, for he was back where he came from, feeding the ponies with sugar over the garden wall. Then someone was shaking his arm, telling him that it was time for tea."
From what the narrator just described I think that Ralph comes from a good Family with lots of money and they live on the country side. I'm guessing that Ralph was going on a trip with his parents when they crashed and he was separated from his Parents. That is why I think Ralph left his ordinary world, so he could go on a trip with his parents, but something tragic had to happen now he is left on an island with boys he's never met before trying to survive.
