“Lord of the Flies” – Island Description

Group Illustration – Island

1) Site where Ralph and Piggy find the conch-

“But the island ran true to form and the incredible pool, which clearly was only invaded by the sea at high tide, was so deep at one end as to be dark green. Ralph inspected the whole thirty yards carefully and then plunged in” (Golding, 14).

2) The Lagoon

“Within the irregular arc of coral the lagoon was still as a mountain lake—blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple” (Golding, 10).

3) The Coral Reef

“The coral was scribbled in the sea as though a giant had bent down to reproduce the shape of the island in a flowing chalk line but tired before he had finished” (Golding, 38).

4) The Scar

“Beyond falls and cliffs there was a gash visible in the trees; there were the splintered trunks and then the drag, leaving only a fringe of palm
between the scar and the sea” (Golding, 39).

5) Platform & Meeting Place

“The ground beneath them was a bank covered with coarse grass, torn everywhere by the upheavals of fallen trees, scattered with decaying coconuts and palm saplings” (Golding, 10).

6) The Ocean Shore

“The ground beneath them was a bank covered with coarse grass, torn everywhere by the upheavals of fallen trees, scattered with decaying coconuts and palm saplings.” (Golding, 10).

7) The Cliff
“Then he sat carefully on a fallen trunk near the little cliff that fronted the lagoon; and the tangled reflections quivered over him” (Golding, 17).

8) The Mountain

“Every point of the mountain held up trees- flowers and trees” (Golding, 39).

9) Forested Area

“A deep, harsh note boomed under the palms, spread through the intricacies of the forest and echoed back from the pink granite of the mountain” (Golding, 21).

10) Fruit Trees

“Flower and fruit grew together on the same tree and everywhere was the scent of ripeness and the booming of a million bees at pasture” (Golding, 77).
