"Lord of the Flies", is a novel written by author William Golding and it was first published in 1954. This novel tells the story of a group of British boys, after an evacuation, that end stranded on an island because of a war. In their attempt to survive, these children assume self-governance and form a sort of union that soon disolves as savagery and a return to basic instincts because of the wildness of the land overtakes these children´s education. In the end, the group breaks into two with the second group, led by Jack and the choir boys, becoming so savage that they have already killed two members of the original group in a struggle for power and control. The title comes from the head of a pig, set on a stick, filled with flies, that becomes the almost oracle of how things will develop in the island, given the circumstances. In chapter 12, Simon and Piggy, two of the kids in the original group, and friends of Ralph, the main character, have died, killed by Jack´s group. Also, Sam and Eric, are captured as Ralph runs away, and they are forced into submission to Jack and his followers through torture. When Ralph finds them as guards at Castle Rock, and they refuse to leave, this shows that they have become :A: they are followers, through torture and force.
