Lord of the Flies by William Golding
3 hours

    Lord of the Flies starts off with a group of British schoolboys who get marooned on an island after their plane crashes during World War2. Piggy and Ralph quickly find each other and decide to have fun and swim in a lagoon on the island. They have no cares in the world, and do not worry about being rescued. After a while, Piggy finds a conch. Piggy has asthma, so he tells Ralph to blow to conch and signal other survivors. After other survivors arrive, they have a meeting and vote on the leader of the group. Ralph is elected as leader and he appoints Jack and the choir as the hunters.
    At first, the boys enjoy their life without grown-ups and spend much of their time splashing in the water and playing games. Ralph, however, complains that they should be maintaining the signal fire and building huts for shelter.
