In this story, we look at it as a semi futuristic setting with happenings that occur only in one house. The use of the literary devices are mixed to make a social commentary that discusses the idea that technology can be both the savior and maybe a destruction of mankind, and that even if not straightly responsible for any event, all of society is to blame when things turn out badly.The usage of foreshadowing is depicted in the almost immediate fact that the women are worried about something.

At first glance, Ralph is a central character who starts and completes William Golding novel The Lord of the Flies. From the onset of the novel, he is described as a “fair boy” with an “attractive appearance” (p7, 29). The author compares his stature as that of a boxer, “as far as width and heaviness of shoulders went, but there was a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil” (p11). He has the physique and presence of a typical leader – strong but with a kind heart that makes him trustworthy. He is also described as being in an intermediate state, who has “lost prominent tummy of childhood and not yet old enough for adolescence” (p11).
