The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of the
basic structural components of living cells. In reviewing these
structures, we will also discuss their functions. All living
organisms are composed of cells. A cell is a small,
membrane-bound compartment that contains all the
chemicals and molecules that help support an organism's life.
An understanding of the structure of cells is one of the first
steps in comprehending the complex cellular interactions that
direct and produce life. Cells can be thought of as building
blocks of organisms. Some organisms are composed of a
single cell. Others, like ourselves, are composed of millions of
cells that work together to perform the more complex
functions that make us different from bacteria.

In Lord of the Flies, British schoolboys are stranded on a
tropical island. In an attempt to recreate the culture
they left behind, they elect Ralph to lead, with the
intellectual Piggy as counselor. But Jack wants to lead,
too, and one-by-one, he lures the boys from civility and
reason to the savage survivalism of primeval hunters. In
Lord of the Flies, William Golding gives us a glimpse of
the savagery that underlies even the most civilized
human beings.
