This picture is actually from the movie "Lord of the Flies". In this specific scene, Jack and his hunters have just killed a pig. Jack is the boy in the front, behind him is Roger. The pig's head was detached and placed on a stick by Jack and his gang of hunters. This skewered pig's head is named Lord of the Flies by Simon. As Simon descends into insanity, he has imaginary conversations with the pig's head.
I included this picture because it contains to important figures in the story: Jack's hunters and the Lord of the Flies. Jack's hunters are important because they allow and encourage Jack to rebel and set up an anarchic tribal government. The Lord of the Flies is important for two reasons:
1. It is the title character (I'm not sure if character is the right word, though).
2. The violent death of the pig that became Lord of the Flies traumatized Simon to the point of insanity.

This picture is of Ralph blowing the conch. In this scene, Ralph is attempting to rally the children and call a meeting. Throughout the entire book, meetings are called using the conch.
I chose to include this picture because it depicts two important things: Ralph and the conch. Ralph is important because he is the protagonist in the story, and the majority of the story is told around Ralph. The conch is important because it represents the concept of free speech in the story. The conch is given to a child when they wish to speak. No one may speak while the person holding the conch is speaking. This system allows even the smallest of children to voice their opinions without being interrupted or intimidated by larger children such as Jack.

This picture is from the flash game "Lord of the Flies" available on the Nobel Prize Committee's website. In this image, it shows the island and pretty much every bad thing that happens throughout the story. From the forest fire to the pig's decapitation.
I chose to include this picture because it illustrates almost the entire story in one picture. Although not all the events in the image occurred at the same time, they did all occur at some point during the story.

In this image, Simon has gone over the brink of insanity. It is at this point that he starts talking to the pig's head, also known as the Lord of the Flies. As you can see, Simon is quite scared, but he believes in what he is seeing.
I chose to use this image because it is a chilling (and accurate) representation of Simon's insanity manifesting itself in the pigs head. Of all the images of the Lord of the Flies available on the internet, this is one of my favourites.
