Lord of The Flies
Chapter 1- Study Questions
1. In the beginning of the story it appears that the boys have gotten to the island a result of a plane crash. We know this because of the character Piggy.

3.During the beginning of the chapter we gradually find out the scar is the passenger cabin of the plane. In this book the image of the scar suggests that the wreck site interrupts the perfect landscape of this island.

5.Piggy’s constant references to Auntie suggests that he is the sort of person that follows rules. For example, most of the things his Auntie said where rules he was made to follow.
