The novel, "Lord of the Flies" takes place on an island where English school boys are stranded after a plane crash. It is a microcosm (something small that represents a bigger population or place) the island to the world here. This is because all of the events (power, rules, leaders, destruction, behavior, election etc) is what happened on the island and it is a representation of the entire world. Hope this helps! Also, it is a GREAT book to annotate for motifs.
