Lord of the Files: Chapter 1.

Summary.
At the beginning of this chapter, there is a fair-haired boy, Ralph,  apparently lost in an Island, who meets Piggy, another lost boy who wear glasses and has asthma. Through their conversation, we can know that, at war, they were in a plane in a student’s trip, and the plane was attacked, and all the students were scattered by the accident.
While Piggy and Ralph were walking around the beach, wondering what happened with the other children in the plane, Ralph pointed into the lagoon: something creamy lay among the ferny woods. They took it out, it was a shell of eighteen inches, with a slight spiral twist and covered with a delicate, embossed pattern.
Piggy realizes that shell could be used as a trumpet, and with its sound they could makes all the other children appear. He convinces Ralph to blow through the shell, and after he did, the other boys start appearing. 
After they laugh at piggy because of his nickname and his physical condition, they decide to organize, and choose a leader. Ralph was elected as the leader, and he chooses Jack and Simon to explore the island.
The boys (Ralph, Jack and Simon) climb up the side of one of the steep hills. From the top of the hill, they notice that they are in an island with no civilization, a desert island. The three boys make a long travel through the jungle and emerge near the group of boys waiting for them on the beach.

Discussion Questions.
1) What would they eat in the future, if they don't dare to kill a little pig?

2) Is going Jack to betray the group, because he is jealous of Ralph?

Prediction.
I think that the next chapter will be about what the boys will do to survive, with that i mean what they will eat, or were they will sleep.

Reaction.
Untill here they have confronted the situation in a very good way, and they are taking good desitions to survive, but the situation has been easy for them. When the climate betray them, or when they run out of food, the real problems will start.
