Lord of the Flies Chapter 1

The two boys meet and discuss the fact that, holy smokes, their plane has crashed. There are no grown-ups.  The kid that is slightly overweight admits to Ralph that most people call him “Piggy,” and asks Ralph not to tell anyone. Ralph claims that his father, who is in the Navy, is going to come rescue them. Piggy, however, says the pilot told them (before the crash) that an atomic bomb had gone off and everyone was dead. Ralph and Piggy find a conch and blow it to call a meeting. Ralph was elected Chief and felt bad for Jack so he gave Jack control of the choir boys. You can already tell that Ralph and Jack aren't going to get along and that foreshadows future problems.
