The first impression you mighht gain from reading the start of Lord of the Flies is that it is a typical 'boys on a desert island' book. However even from the begining things don't follow the accepted formula for such stories. Ralph may well be an atractive hero figure but fat, asthmatic Piggy wearing a greasy wind-breaker and thick spectacles is nobody's idea of a hero. In the first pages Piggy has to go into the trees to answer a call of nature, which involves making grunting noises, hardly what you'd expect froma boys' tropical island adventure story. In short right from the word go the book begins to undermine your initial expectations and continues to do so for its entire length.
