The novel begins with Ralph making his way down to a lagoon. There he meets Piggy, who is going to the same place. Through their conversation, the boys realize that there are no adults on the island. Ralph is happy at this thought, while Piggy is concerned. Their conversation reveals that the plane they were on has been shot down and crashed on the island.

Piggy is chubby, has asthma, and wears glasses. Ralph makes fun of Piggy for the nickname that had been given him at school, which Piggy does not want repeated. Ralph is surprised when Piggy doesn't join him for a swim and then mocks him for his asthma when he learns the reason. Piggy goes on to reveal that his parents are dead and he lives with his aunt. Ralph's father is in the navy and says that his father will come to the island and rescue them. Piggy cautions Ralph that might not happen because the pilot told them an atom bomb went off and destroyed humanity.

When Ralph gets out of the lagoon, he and Piggy find a conch shell. Upon Piggy's suggestion, Ralph blows the shell to call any others who survived the crash. Boys start trickling in, the first one being a six-year-old named Johnny. As the boys arrived, "they sat down on the fallen palm trunks and waited"

As the meeting begins, Piggy tries to get all the names but is unsuccessful. Jack thinks Piggy is talking too much and tells him to shut up, calling him "Fatty." Ralph corrects Jack and says the boy's name is Piggy, everyone laughs.

After more introductions, Ralph says they have to decide about being rescued and that they need a chief. Jack says he should be chief, but Roger says they should vote. Ralph is elected to be chief for no strong reason but apparently because, as the narrator says, "there was his size, and attractive appearance, and most obscurely, and yet most powerfully, there was the conch. All the boys, including the choir, applaud the decision, which embarrasses Jack. Ralph puts Jack in charge of the choir. Jack says they will be the hunters.
