This post will include quotes that describe the island the story takes place in Lord of the Flies.
- Lagoon: “Within the irregular arc of coral the lagoon was still as a mountain lake – blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple” (10)
- Rock: “Here the beach was interrupted abruptly by the square motif of the landscape; a great platform of pink granite thrust up uncompromisingly through forest and terrace and sand and lagoon to make a raised jetty four feet high” (13)
- Lagoon: “The palms that still stood made a green roof, covered on the underside with a quivering tangle of reflections from the lagoon”(13)
- 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” (39)
