In the novel Lord of the Flies how long were the boys on the island?
No time period is ever mentioned in the book. As there are no seasons in the tropics it is difficult to judge the passage of time. However the boys' hair had grown uncomfortably long, their clothes have fallen apart and the littluns have developed the distended stomach associated with malnutrition so some time has certainly elapsed. Nevertheless the naval officer still viewed them all as 'liitle boys,' so years certainly haven't passed. It is likely that the boys were on the island for several months but probably less than a year.
How did the boys happen to come to the island?
The boys where on board an airplane and they were being evacuated away from England which was apparently engaged in some imagined future nuclear war against 'The Reds.' The plane was headed to an unnamed destination. During a storm the plane was attacked and the "passenger tube" was ejected. The "passenger tube" crash landed on the island, leaving the "scar" in the jungle. Large waves, caused by the storm, dragged the "passenger tube" out to sea, along with some boys (and presumably some adults) who were still on board.

What is LOTF a microcosm of and why?
The novel, "Lord of the Flies" takes place on an island where English school boys are stranded after a plane crash. It is a microcosm (something small that represents a bigger population or place) the island to the world here. This is because all of the events (power, rules, leaders, destruction, behavior, election etc) is what happened on the island and it is a representation of the entire world. Hope this helps! Also, it is a GREAT book to annotate for motifs.
