When Lord of the Flies begins, Ralph and Piggy are standing on a strip of land on the island called "the scar." The scar is the burnt, treeless strip of land created when the plane crashed.
Lord of the Flies is narrated from a third person viewpioint.
The other boys in "Lord of the Flies" view Piggy as an outcast and a target for their bullying. They see him as weak, annoying, and a hindrance to their desire for power and control on the island. Despite Piggy's intelligence and good intentions, the boys' disdain for him ultimately leads to tragic consequences.
3rd person point of view by an anonymous person who does not interfere with the happenings in the story.
Lord of the Flies is in 3rd person limited point of view. For example, during the scene where Simon is talking to the pig head carcass, the "Lord of the Flies", you never see inside the head of Simon as he's having his seizure, such as when he lifts his head up. Nor could you see the emotion of different characters at different situations; you could only see dialogue.
they think he is 'batty' and 'cracked'. They don't understand the superior knowledge of Simon
Piggy doesn't get the list of names because he is not invited to join the group of boys who are exploring the island during the assembly. The boys exclude Piggy because they view him as an outsider and don't value his input or opinions as much as they should.
In the Coral Island Jack, Ralph and Peterkin gradually evolve from a state which they see as being primative castaways. They build a shelter, make weapons, explore, harvest fruit and hunt pigs, fish and wild fowl. In Lord of the Flies a group of "civilised" schoolboys start off with good intentions but their society gradually falls apart and they revert to a state of primative savagery.

They are easily frightened and impressionable, often following the lead of the older boys without question. As the story progresses, some of the younger boys begin to show signs of rebellion and fear, particularly when faced with the growing savagery and chaos on the island.
In "Lord of the Flies," Golding uses an omniscient point of view to depict the boys' descent into savagery on the island, which reflects the dark and cynical nature of adult society. By portraying the boys' violent actions and moral decay, Golding suggests that human nature is inherently flawed and capable of great evil, mirroring the cynicism found in adult life.
William Golding had a very negative view upon society during the time of when Lord of the Flies was written. The themes of death and using the island as a microcosm of the world shows that a lack of peace and havoc was exhibited world wide. Modern society is made to be untrustworthy and immature as war and anguish are the only expressive mediums.

In chapter nine: A View To A Death, when Ralph and Piggy attend Jack's feast Ralph says that he is still the chief and he has the conch. "You haven't got it with you," said Jack sneering. "You left it behind. See, clever? And the conch doesn't count at this end of the island ---"
