How many survived at the end of the Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

There are only two boys who definitely did not survive; Piggy who was killed as a direct result of being hit by a boulder and Simon who was beaten to death. The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face, who first mentioned the snake-thing or beastie, dissapeared when the first fire got out of control so it is probably safe to assume that he also died. The rest of the characters presumably survived until the end of the book, among these were definitely Ralph and Percival Wemys Madison, who were both mentioned by name.

Answer 2

A small boy who is originally described in the book..." He was a shrimp of a boy, about six years old, and one side of his face was blotted out by a mulberry-coloured birthmark." Piggy notices that he has gone missing after the original fire got out of control on the mountain top. Nobody ever saw him again and nobody ever knew his name.

Answer 3

Given that the reader is never informed exactly how many boys were on the island it is difficult to say how many survived to be rescued at the end of the book. It is easier to rule out those who definitely didn't survive until the end of the book. Simon and Piggy were both killed. The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face was never seen again after the first fire set alight a pocket of jungle, so presumably he died too. Ralph stabbed at least two members of Jack's tribe with his spear but it wasn't mentioned how badly injured they were. So you can say that there were definitely two less than there were at the start, probably three and possibly five.

Answer 4

they dont tell you how many littuns were there to start: but rodger, sam and eric, Jack, Ralph, and Maurice survived, meaning 7 survived for sure minimum.

Answer 5

SIMON HANDS DOWN!! He was so sweet and defiently the bravest kid on that island.

Answer 6

Mostly everybody survives except piggy and Simon.
