"We're on an island. We've been on the mountaintop and seen water all round. We saw no houses, no smoke, no footprints, no boats, no people. We're on an uninhabited island with no other people on it. "

Quote 1
"'I ought to be chief,' said Jack with simple arrogance, ' because I'm chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp'...'Who wants me?' Every hand outside the chior except Piggy's was raised immediately. Then piggy,too, raised his hand grudgingly in the air. Ralph counted . 'I'm chief then.'"

Quote 2
"' Hands up,' said Jack strongly, 'Whoever wants Ralph not to be chief?' ... ' I'm not going to play any longer.Not with you.' Most of the boys were looking down now, at the grass or thier feet. Jack cleared his throat again. ' I'm going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too.'"
Climax
The climax of the book, "Lord of the Flies" is when Piggy gets killed at the Castle rock and there is no one left in Ralphs tribe. When Piggy gets killed it's almost like a complete loss of innocence and there is no turning back. When Simon was killed the boys didn't know it was Simon, but this time the boys knew exactly what was going on. This was also the point of most conflict and most emotonal involvement. This is the part of the book where everything is leading up to this point. All of the boys left Ralphs group to be in Jack's tribe except Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric. After they pushed the boulder onto Piggy, Samneric were forced to join the tribe leaving Ralph all by himself. This hits the max point of conflict in the book, making it the climax.

"Piggy's arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pigs after it has been killed."

Quote 2
"The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee: the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, with no time for even a grunt, traveled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went. Piggy fell 40 feet and landed on his back across the the square red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy's arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pigs after it has been killed"
Falling Action
The falling action of the book "Lord of the Flies" is when Ralph is getting hunted. Although, Ralph is very important to the story and is in danger, the biggest part of the story is over and the conflict is dying out. It's no longer as important as it used to be. Once piggy died and all the boys left Ralph, he's pretty much dead meat and it is no longer as exciting. Ralph getting hunted is also the result of the climax, making it the falling action of the story.

"'If you're fooling us-' Immediately after this, there came a gasp, and a sequeal of pain. Ralph crouched instinctively. One of the wins was there, outside the thicket, with Jack and Roger."

Quote 2
"A nearer cry stood him on his feet and immediately he was away again, running fast among thorns and brambles. Suddenly he blundered into the open, found himself again into that open space- and there was the fathom-wide grin of the skull, no longer ridiculing a deep blue patch of sky but jeering up into a blanket of smoke."
Resolution
The resolution to the story "Lord of the Flies" is when the boys get found by a naval officer who happened to see the fire. This is the resolution because all off the boys are going home. It's the final outcome, nothing else needs to happen afterwards for the story to be complete. The conflict is resolved, they are being brought back to reality. The story is complete and finished. Thus making it the resolution of the story.

Quote 2
"The officer, surrounded by these noises, was moved and a little embarrassed. He turned away to give them time to pull themselves together; and waited, allowing his eyes to rest on the trim cruiser in the distance."
