Character Descriptions
Ralph-  the chief of the boys on the island. About twelve years old, fair-haired, slight in stature. The boys voted him for chief almost immediately after arriving at the island, as he is a natural leader.

Piggy- the first person to meet Ralph after arriving on the island. Clever, but disliked by the other boys because of it. A man of sizable girth. Has had glasses since the age of three, and was diagnosed with asthma.

Jack- the oldest boy on the island. Head of the choir, thinks he should be chief. Especially despises Piggy, for no apparent reason. Enjoys hunting, and grows increasingly violent as their time on the island goes on. Challenges Ralph's leadership by starting his own tribe. His "dance" where the boys pretend to kill the beast results in Simon being murdered.

Samneric- actually Sam and Eric, but often referred to as Samneric. Identical twins that do everything together, including often finishing each others' sentences.

Roger- one of the older boys, supported Jack almost right away. Very violent, enjoys hunting and killing. Hits the littluns to get them to be quiet.

Maurice, Bill, and Robert- minor characters. Some of the first to join Jack's tribe. Considered "biguns."

Phil, Johnny, Percival, and Henry- minor characters. Younger boys, from the age of six to about eight.
