This novel is a dystopian novel. Here is why.
When the plane crashes the different children are separated from each other. Ralph and Piggy find each other and then find a conch. Ralph blows the conch and now feels powerful. Everyone gathers around him and he starts to talk about what they need to do. Soon arrives Jack who has his own choir and seems powerful too.
The have an election to see who becomes chief and Ralph wins.
Everything starts out well. Everyone listens to Ralph. They get a fire going on top of the mountain to provide smoke to signal a passing ship. They get food and appoint hunters.
Then one day Jack's choir members, now hunters, let the fire out. A ship passes by but there is no fire. Ralph gets mad and starts to tell everyone that the fire is the most important thing because its the only way for them to get rescued.
Jack thinks differently. He thinks that finding food is the most important thing. Ralph now starts to boss everyone around and in a way make them his slaves. He shows no respect to others and doesnt listen to anyone.
Because of this, Jack and two others, leave Ralph and form a rebel group that is against Ralph. After everyone sees how successful Jack's group is going, lots of the children join them one by one.
The dystopia in this novel is that everyone is miserable and have to follow Ralph's order even if that's a thing they don't want to do.
