Summary: Lord of the Flies

[ NOTE: These book summaries are designed as captures for what I’ve read, and aren’t necessarily great standalone resources for those who have not read the book. Their purpose is to ensure that I capture what I learn from any given text, so as to avoid realizing years later that I have no idea what it was about or how I benefited from it. ]

1. Piggie being both appreciated and made fun of whenever it was convenient by those who are powerful

2. How quickly people become savages without law to keep them in check

3. The fine line between being beaten down and having no confidence and seeking power to hurt others

4. The last line where Ralph missed his true friend Piggy. You don’t realize that non-charismatic friends are as awesome as they are until they are gone

5. The brothers wanted to help Ralph but were dominated and couldn’t; they loved the safety and feeling of belonging more
