¶ … Lord of the Flies, by William Golding. Specifically, it will tell the story of the boys' experiences when they return home, what they find there, what they experience, and if they are punished. The boys from "Lord of the Flies" were left sailing away on a naval vessel at the end of the book, but when they returned home, they had to face what they had done on the island, and face the "real world" again.
LORD OF THE FLIES
When the boys returned home to England, their lives were never the same. The island had changed each and every one of them, some of them more than they knew. Ralph returned to school, but the incidents on the island had scared him more than he knew. He was still a leader in his soul, but evil people like Jack and Roger frightened him. He tended to shy away from others at school, and turned inward into himself.

Simon and Maurice arrived. Ralph looked at
Jack discovers that he is not simply a leader, but that leadership makes personal demands on one's character that are not always enjoyable. Jack realizes that the boys cannot play all day, or forget about civilization, like schoolboys on a fun holiday. Instead, they must engage in the serious preparations of surviving on an abandoned island. Jack also realizes his limits as a leader as the group's fears conflict
Initiation therefore helps the boys establish their identities and also creates social hierarchy. The conflict between Jack and Ralph serves also as a type of initiation: a battle between two individuals. Initiations represent a transition from one state of mind or being to another.
