Lord of the flies is a very solemn book about a group of young boys who are marooned on an island. For the most part they do not get along and they cannot seem to get anything good going for them. Throughout chapters 1-5, they face many trials such as the jungle catching on fire, a few deaths and even missing the chance to be rescued. Those were hard hits that caused them to lose much hope. . A main form of symbolism in the story is in chapter six when the dead man with a parachute washes up. The boys mistake it for the “Beastie”. The dead man is said to represent the lack of authority and presence of an adult on the island.
In chapter 7, Jack tells the boys that he saw some monster and they did not believe him so they climbed up the mountain
