Introduction
The first main problem the boys have in the novel Lord of the
Flies is that they are unprepared for survival on an uninhabited
tropical island. They make many mistakes before they learn the
best way to do things (like building a fire, etc…). Therefore,
the more prepared people are, the better off they’ll be when
having to survive in a hostile environment. Most experts suggest
bringing a few things along to help when things get tough, but the
main idea is to know and understand what to do (and when to do it)
when you have to survive on your own.
