The combined effort required to roll the rock from the mounatin is only acheived when all three boys who are present work together. This symbolises that in a struggle for survival with the island they will only succeed if they all work together.
The book you are referring to is likely "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. In the novel, a group of boys get stranded on a deserted island and attempt to govern themselves, but their society quickly deteriorates into chaos and violence.
On the Island
The name of the book is "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. It tells the story of a group of boys stranded on an uninhabited island and their descent into savagery.
Sam and Eric are both young boys on the island in "Lord of the Flies," but their exact ages are not specified in the book. They are among the younger boys in the group.
The little kids in the book "Lord of the Flies" were called "littluns." They were the youngest boys on the island who often played and were not actively involved in the power struggles and conflicts of the older boys.
The plane on which the boys were being evacuated crashed on the island during a storm and the adults (along with some of the boys) on board were killed.

"Lord of the Flies" is a book expressing a metaphor of how chaotic society is and can be when authority is ignored. Ralph is one of the boys who remains civilized in the book, and his main fear is of what the boys are going to turn into and do without authority. He knows chaos will corrupt the society of the boys on the island and he fears this.
There are no Swallows and Amazons in Lord of the Flies. "Swallows and Amazons" is the title of a book by the author Arthur Ransome. "Lord of the Flies" is a completely different book written by William Golding, they have nothing at all in common with each other. Early in the book when Ralph tells the assembly that they are on an island, a good island, some of the boys call out, "Like Treasure Island, Swallows and Amazons and The Coral Island."
The word "interminable" appears on page 5 of the book "Lord of the Flies." It is used to describe the stretch of time the boys spend marooned on the island.
Depends what cover you have. Have you read the book? Is cover Ralph, boys, ships crew, island, Piggy, pigs ?????????
Lord of the Flies was based off a book called The Coral Island. I hope one of those is what you're looking for.
