The Coral Island: A Tale of the Pacific Ocean (1858) is a novel written by Scottish author R. M. Ballantyne. One of the first works of juvenile fiction to feature exclusively juvenile heroes, the story relates the adventures of three boys marooned on a South Pacific island, the only survivors of a shipwreck.
A typical Robinsonade– a genre of fiction inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe– and one of the most popular of its type, the book first went on sale in late 1857 and has never been out of print. Among the novel's major themes are the civilising effect of Christianity, 19th-century British imperialism in the South Pacific, and the importance of hierarchy and leadership. It was the inspiration for William Golding's dystopian novelLord of the Flies (1954), which inverted the morality of The Coral Island; in Ballantyne's story the children encounter evil, but in Lord of the Flies evil is within them.
In the early 20th century, the novel was considered a classic for primary school children of Britain, and in the United States it was a staple of high-school suggested reading lists; modern critics, however, consider the book's worldview to be dated and imperialist. Although less popular today, The Coral Island was adapted into a four-part children's television drama broadcast by ITV in 2000.
The Coral are an English band formed in 1996 in Hoylake on the Wirral Peninsula in England. The band first emerged during the early 2000s (decade) and found success with their debut album The Coral (2002) and follow up Magic and Medicine (2003). Their self-titled debut album was nominated for the 2002 Mercury Music Prize and later voted the fourth best album of the year by NME Magazine.
In 2008 guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones left the band, however The Coral continued as a five-piece. Their sixth album Butterfly House was released in 2010.
History
1996–2004: Early years and breakthrough
In 1996, schoolfriends Ian Skelly and Paul Duffy began jamming together in the basement of Flat Foot Sams pub in Hoylake. Over the following months they were joined by Bill Ryder-Jones on lead guitar, Ian's older brother James Skelly on vocals and main songwriting duties, and then Lee Southall on rhythm guitar. The band were known briefly as Hive before choosing the name The Coral, and the line-up was completed with the addition of Nick Power, who joined as keyboard player in 1998.
The US release features the videos to "Dreaming Of You" and "Goodbye" and enables you to unlock content on the official Coral USA website.
The LP title was rumoured to be called Son of Becker (Xfm interview 25 May 2002) and Zion Egg before it was finally named The Coral. Other songs which were rumoured to appear on the debut before being left out were "Run Run!" and "Tumble Grave".
A coral island is a type of island formed from coraldetritus and associated organic material. They occur in tropical and sub-tropical areas, typically as part of coral reefs which have grown to cover a far larger area under the sea.
Formation
Islands develop from coral reefs through one of two processes, uplift and accretion.
In uplift, part or all of the coral reef becomes Land as a result of the earth's crust rising above sea level.
In accretion, rocks and sand are layered on top of coral reefs during cyclonic storms, and the gradual accumulation of other solid material through the action of wind and waves leads to the development of the island. The process is later enhanced with the remains of plant life which grows on the island.
Where coral islands form from atoll reefs, the result is an island or string of islands in a roughly circular form, surrounding a shallow lagoon.
The series was first broadcast in Australia on ABC-TV on the 6 January 1983.
Plot
The story, set in 1840, centers on 3 boys from England and their struggle for survival when they are shipwrecked on a remote Pacific island. Jack (played by Scott McGregor), Peterkin (played by Nicholas Bond-Owen) and Ralph (played by Richard Gibson) must learn to survive on their own on the island, despite their very different characters and backgrounds. After befriending two natives on the island, they are rescued by an English missionary team, and both the boys and the two natives return to England.

Lyrics:
What's up with my heart when it skips a beat? (skips a beat)
Can't feel no pavement right under my feet (under my feet)
Up in my lonely room (my room)
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh, what can I do?
I still need you, but I don't want you now
When I'm down and my hands are tied (hands are tied)
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line (draw the line)
From this pain I just can't disguise (can't disguise)
It's gonna hurt but I'll have to say goodbye (say goodbye)

Lyrics
Shut the bedroom window in the morning
Go to the shop, make plans to be leaving
In the morning
Thought I was sleeping, it was just a dream
An alley cat chewing on dead leaves
In the morning
Out of the dark and into the light
When the morning comes, I will be all right
When I leave, I try not to wake her
Tea and a toast to yesterday's capers
In the morning
She wrote my name on a red telephone box
When I got there, she'd already rubbed it off
In the morning
Out of the dark and into the light
When the morning comes, I will be all right
And all this time I've watched it change
But it's still the same
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning

The Coral Island: A Tale of the Pacific Ocean (1858) is a novel written by Scottish author R. M. Ballantyne. One of the first works of juvenile fiction to feature exclusively juvenile heroes, the story relates the adventures of three boys marooned on a South Pacific island, the only survivors of a shipwreck.
A typical Robinsonade– a genre of fiction inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe– and one of the most popular of its type, the book first went on sale in late 1857 and has never been out of print. Among the novel's major themes are the civilising effect of Christianity, 19th-century British imperialism in the South Pacific, and the importance of hierarchy and leadership. It was the inspiration for William Golding's dystopian novelLord of the Flies (1954), which inverted the morality of The Coral Island; in Ballantyne's story the children encounter evil, but in Lord of the Flies evil is within them.
In the early 20th century, the novel was considered a classic for primary school children of Britain, and in the United States it was a staple of high-school suggested reading lists; modern critics, however, consider the book's worldview to be dated and imperialist. Although less popular today, The Coral Island was adapted into a four-part children's television drama broadcast by ITV in 2000.
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat They're showing pictures on the television Women and children dying in the street Ant we're still at it in our own place Still trying to reach the future thru' the past Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone. But hey! Don't listen to me! Cos this wasn't meant to be no sad song We've heard too much of that before Right now I only want to be here with you Till the morning dew comes falling I want to take you to the island And trace your footprints in the sand And in the evening when there's no one around We'll make love to the sound of the ocean. They're raising banners over by the markets Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown No way our holy flag is gonna fall Up here we sacrifice our children To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday And teach them dying will lead us into glory But hey! Don't listen ... Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story And I know this peace and love's just copping out And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches Is just what being free is all about And how this twisted wreckage down on Main Street Will bring us all together in the end And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
