Lord of the Flies - Coral Island
In the 19th Century, R.M. Ballantyne wrote a book called Coral Island. It portrayed three boys: Ralph, Peterkin and Jack (two of these names are transferred to Golding's book; Peterkin is altered to Simon, which is an allusion to the Bible "Simon called Peter") landing on an island, much like that in Lord of the Flies. They have great adventures, typical of much children's fiction written during the period of the British Empire - the book is not a realistic projection of what boys on a deserted island would do. However, it was very successful.
A number of references to Coral Island are made in Lord of the Flies, as Golding wrote it as an indirect response.
Golding read this as he was growing up and thought of Ballantyne as a racist man as the book teaches children that evil is associated with black skin and is external.
