Lord of the Flies chapter 1

I felt that this chapter was a little confusing to read. At first I didn't really understand what was going on, and I feel like we had no background information on what happened before the crash to the island. I did like the part of the election, and I think that Ralph will be a good leader. But who knows what is going to happen. I feel bad for piggy because they made fun of him, and I feel like because Jack is one of the older boys he is going to try to rule everyone even though he wasn't picked as leader.
