The story begins with the boy with fair ______________ climbing down the rocks. A voice
behind him calls out for him to wait. This voice comes from a ______________ boy who
wears ______________ or glasses. The first boy introduces himself as, Ralph and the
second boy introduces himself as ______________.
The two boys are on an island with no grown-ups because their plane was shot down.
Ralph, who is ______________ years old, thinks that the pilot will be back to get the boys,
but Piggy tells him that he saw the part of the plane with the pilot in ______________. He
continues to tell Ralph that the passenger part of the plane was carried out to sea by a
storm. Piggy assumes that there must be other boys on the island. Ralph seems not to
pay too much attention to Piggy and runs through the jungle. Piggy says that he
shouldn’t run on account of his ______________.
“The sound of the shell”Chapter 1
1
Ralph gets naked and goes for a swim in the pool. Piggy does not go because he cannot
______________; he wasn’t allowed to because of his asthma. Ralph says he learned how
because his dad is in the ______________. Piggy’s father is dead, and he was living with
his ______________. He tells Piggy that his father will come and rescue them once he gets
some time off. Piggy doesn’t think this is possible because the pilot had told them that
there was an atom ______________ and the people at the airport were all dead.
After Ralph’s swim, the two boys come across a conch; a ______________ that can be used
like a trumpet to call any other boys on the island. The ______________ was cream colour
with a bit of fading pink throughout the shell. After Ralph gets the conch to sound, boys
start gathering in front of Ralph and Piggy.
Many boys come, but the last group of boys is a choir. Each member wears a black
______________ with a silver ______________ on it. Their entire bodies are covered by a
black cloak, which “bore a silver cross on the left breast.” The boy who is in charge of
this group wears a ______________ badge on his cap. This boy introduces himself by his
last name Merridew although his first name is ______________.
After everyone laughs at Piggy because of his name and after everyone introduces
themselves, Ralph suggests that they decide on a chief to make decisions. Jack says
that he should be chief because he is the head boy of the ______________ and he can sing
a C sharp. Roger suggests that all the boys vote to see who should be ______________.
The boys ______________ Ralph to be chief. Ralph offers Jack control of the choir, and Jack
decides that the choir will be ______________.

Ralph, Jack, and ______________ go on an exploration to decide that they are indeed on
an island. On their way back from the exploration, they find a ______________ stuck in the
creepers. Jack raises his ______________ to kill it, but he hesitates and it gets away. He
promises himself that the next time he has the chance to ______________ there will be no
mercy.

After the three boys - Ralph, Jack, and ______________ return from their exploration, Ralph
explains to the rest of the boys that they are indeed on an uninhabited ______________.
Jack tells the boys about the need for ______________ and the story of the ______________
that they encountered.
Chapter 2“Fire on the mountain”

Realising that there needs to be order, Ralph tells the boys that there needs to be
______________ when speaking. The boy who holds the ______________ is the only one
allowed to talk. And the only one who is allowed to interrupt is ______________.
Piggy takes the conch and is upset because nobody is allowing Ralph to say what is
most important. ______________ tells the boys that nobody knows they are there. Ralph
tells the boys that that is ______________, but the island is terrific and they will have a
good time while they wait to be ______________.
Jack asks if anyone else has found anything. No one speaks, but a little boy of about
______________ years of age comes up. He timidly takes the conch and speaks. He asks
what is going to be done about the snake-thing; he later calls it a ______________. The
boys laughed at first, but later they sense some ______________. Ralph tries to make
everyone comfortable by telling them that an island couldn’t have a beastie.
Ralph suggests that making a ______________ will help get the boys rescued. Jack yells,
“Follow me,” and the boys rashly run up to the top of the ______________ and gather
dried ______________ to start a fire. Piggy is the ______________ to make it up the
mountain. When he arrives, the boys are trying to figure out how to make fire Ralph
doesn’t know how, and he stupidly asks if anyone has a ______________. Jack, on the
other, figures out he can use Piggy’s ______________.

The boys discover that the fire was no good because there was only flame, no
______________. A boy suggests putting a green ______________ on the fire next time. Piggy
is outraged and grabs the conch and tries to speak. He thinks it was stupid to build a fire
haphazardly and not to think about building ______________ for the evening. He says that
it gets ______________ at night on the ______________. While Piggy is talking, the boys
realize that they have accidentally set the island on fire. Piggy makes Ralph realize that
some of the ______________ boys probably are scared because of the fire.

Jack is crouched down like a ______________. He is half-naked and trying to hunt a
______________. After he is unable to kill a pig, he comes out of the dark ______________
and sees Ralph and ______________ building ______________ for shelter. He asks for some
______________, which Ralph tells him is by the ______________.
Chapter 3“Huts on the beach”
5
Ralph is disappointed in the way the ______________, or children, do not help him build
the shelters. Simon suggests telling them off, but Ralph shows his disappointment with
______________. He says they could have one, and they would decide to do something like
build a ______________, but five minutes later everyone would be off playing and not
helping. When ______________ implies that Jack is also guilty of leaving responsibility, Jack
argues that they all need ______________. Ralph antagonises Jack by saying that Jack has
yet to ______________ anything.
Ralph tries to argue that shelters are needed in case of ______________. But also they
need shelter to create a sense of ______________. The children are still afraid of the
______________, or the snake-thing, and shelter might help calm that fear.
Ralph argues that the most important thing is to get ______________. Jack has a hard time
remembering what that word means. He says that he would prefer to catch a pig first.
While Ralph is telling Jack to make sure his ______________ remember to keep the
______________ going, ______________ realizes where the pig must be hiding from the hot
______________. This angers Ralph because the way Jack ______________ when he made
this discovery made Ralph think Jack saw a ______________.
After they are done talking, they notice that Simon is gone. They assume that he is
taking a ______________. But he is not in the bathing pool; rather, he has escaped to a
______________ place in the forest.

The chapter begins with three littluns, the generic title for the smaller boys, building
sand ______________. The three boys are Percival, the smallest and ______________ of the
three; Henry, the biggest of them; and Johnny, who is well built.
Chapter 4“Painted faces & Long Hair”

After ______________ gets bored, he leaves, and Roger follows him. Henry becomes
interested in tiny transparencies, little creatures from the ______________. He starts to
become fascinated with controlling the movement of these scavengers. While Henry’s
attention is on the ______________, Roger starts to throw ______________ at Henry. He
misses him on purpose.
About ten yards behind him, Jack calls for ______________. He follows Jack and finds Sam,
Eric, Bill, and Jack putting ______________ paint on their faces. They are going on a
______________ for a pig. A problem is that Sam and ______________ are neglecting their
duty of the fire. This later proves disastrous because Ralph sees smoke from a
______________, but there is no ______________ for the ship to see them.
______________ and his crew return with a ______________ pig. They are chanting, “Kill the
pig. Cut her ______________. Spill her ______________ ” Ralph interrupts Jack’s glory from
the hunt to yell at him about letting the fire go ______________. Piggy also yells at Jack,
but this drives Jack to violence. Jack ______________ Piggy in the stomach and smacks his
head, which causes Piggy’s ______________ to break.
Jack offers an ______________ to Ralph for letting the fire go out. And then they begin to
start another fire, but they do so in a different location because ______________ will not
move from the site of the ______________ fire.
Later they start to eat the pig. Ralph, who originally wants to resist eating the
______________, eats it. Piggy brings on more humiliation by asking about his share of the
8
meat. Jack tells him he didn’t hunt. But, ______________ responds that neither did Ralph
nor Simon. ______________gives Piggy his share of meat.

Ralph paces, thinking about what he is going to say at the ______________. He has
decided that the meeting should not be fun; rather, it should be all business. Ralph has
grown disgusted with the way he has been living. He dislikes flicking the tangled
_______________ out of his face, and he dislikes how his frayed _______________ make him
uncomfortable.
Chapter 5“Beast from water”

Before Ralph begins to talk, he thinks that a chief really needs to be able to think, and
the problem is he cannot think as well as _______________ can. Ralph then calls the
meeting. Almost everyone sits in the triangle except for Piggy who stands outside the
_______________ to show his disapproval.
Ralph goes over the things the boys have decided in assemblies and have not gone
through with. The first thing Ralph mentions is how the boys decided to bring water up
and put it in the _______________ shells, but now they don’t. And the boys go down to the
river to drink. The second thing he lists is the failure to build the _______________. He says
that all the boys helped on the first one. But only four boys helped on the second one.
And only he and Simon worked on the third one, which is tottery. Then Ralph complains
about how the boys are no longer using the rocks beyond the bathing pool as their
lavatory. It was the best place to have as a _______________ because the tide cleans it up.
But now the boys seem to go everywhere, which is disgusting because the littluns suffer
from diarrhoea. Ralph tells the boys if they are suffering from _______________ to stay
away from the fruit. Then Ralph says that they should die before they let the
_______________ go out again. Ralph’s last command is that they don’t make a fire
anywhere but on the _______________.
The group gets bored and restless with Ralph, but he tries to say one last thing; he tries
to talk about the _______________ and fear that has taken over the island. Once
_______________ is done speaking, Jack stands up and tells the littluns that they started
all this stuff about beasts. He says that the littluns are nothing but a bunch of
_______________ and sissies. He says that if there is a beastie, he will _______________ it.
After Jack is done, Piggy tries to convince the boys that there are no such things as
10
beasties or ghosts and that _______________ can prove it. Then a littlun by the name of
Phil stands up and talks about how he saw something moving in the _______________. As
it turns out, it wasn’t a beastie; it was _______________ going to his secret place in the
forest.
Next Percival stands up. He is too timid to give his name. Percival starts to
_______________ and the rest of the littluns join him. Maurice finally tells the group that he
thinks the beastie comes out of the _______________. The boys truly get frightened when
Simon speaks up and says that maybe there is a beastie and maybe it is the
_______________ themselves. One of the boys interprets what Simon said as meaning that
there are _______________. The group basically breaks into chaos over the mention of
them.
Piggy grabs the _______________ and says that he didn’t vote for ghosts. Jack interrupts
him, and Ralph tries to gain order. But Jack says there is no need for _______________ and
that he is tired of Ralph always taking Piggy’s side.
The meeting breaks up and Piggy tells Ralph that if he gives up, _______________ will
want to hurt Ralph but won’t be able to. But Jack will strike out against the next best
thing, and that is Piggy.

As Simon, Piggy, and Ralph go to sleep, there is an _______________ in the air about ten
miles above them. Although no one is _______________ to see it, a _______________ is shot
down. And afterwards a man strapped to a _______________ comes down to the island.
Sam and _______________ almost let the fire go out. Once they get it going again, one of
them comments that had it gone out, Ralph would have been _______________. Then they
_______________ Ralph and a previous school _______________. As they are sitting by the
fire, Eric sees something and calls Sam’s attention to it. Once they both see the dead
_______________ on a rock, they go running to Ralph. They tell the boys that they saw the
_______________, and they embellish and say they saw the _______________ and
_______________ of the beast. Ralph, Jack, and Piggy decide what to do. _______________
wants to hunt it right away. Ralph wants to wait until they have the _______________
going. And Piggy wants to live on the _______________. Ralph suggests checking the
castle _______________, where they haven’t been before.
When they reach it, _______________ goes alone to explore. Jack shortly follows because
he couldn’t let Ralph have all the _______________. Once Jack sees the _______________, he
tells Ralph that it would be great for a _______________. Ralph thinks it is a _______________
idea because there is not much fresh _______________ there. While Jack explains how to
12
use the _______________ as a _______________, Ralph realizes that there is no
_______________.

Simon realizes that Ralph is thinking about _______________. He tells Ralph that he knows
that he will make it back all right. Ralph thinks Simon is batty, or _______________, and
asks him sarcastically if he has a _______________ in his pocket.
On their way to the mountain, the boys _______________ for a pig. _______________ gets his
first experience at hunting, and he enjoys it. He is able to get his _______________ into the
pig. _______________ is injured slightly by the boar because he waited too long to put his
spear into him. Simon tells Jack to suck on the _______________ to make it better.
After this the boys get excited and start to _______________ they are hunting a pig. They
use _______________ as the pig. The _______________ get too involved and Robert ends up
getting hurt. Jack and Ralph play it off as if it were nothing but a _______________. Jack
says next time they should have a littlun play the _______________.
It is getting late, and Ralph still wants to make it to the _______________ to restart the
_______________. Maurice suggests that they should get back to _______________.
_______________ volunteers to go alone to Piggy and tell him that the rest won’t be back
until later.

Jack and Ralph keep pushing each other to go up the mountain in the _______________.
The rest of the boys all leave Jack, Ralph, and _______________ by themselves. They are
not scared, they say, but rather _______________.
Jack goes up the mountain alone after Ralph implied that he was too _______________ to
do so. He later comes down saying he _______________ something. Roger scares the two
of them when he suggests it is a _______________. The three of them go up to have a look
and they see the _______________ man with the _______________. The three of them run,
