Chapter 11 Response Questions

1.    Ralph’s group decides they must call an assembly and attack Jack’s tribe in hopes of taking back Piggy’s specs.

2.    The twins are “seeing Ralph for the first time” before going to Castle Rock in that they witness for the first time him being an aggressive leader by strongly standing up for what he believes in and fighting Jack.

3.   The boys’ attempt to get back Piggy’s specs and the other boys to maintain a signal fire is bound to fail because the savages refuse to hear them out. Jack doesn’t want to work things out peacefully but instead would rather fight.

4.    I think Roger pushes the rock off the cliff to feel powerful. He wants to be superior and impress the others.

5.    The destruction of the conch is significant in that is symbolizes a final end to all attempts to being civilized.

6.    The boys want a chief because they need someone to follow and make decisions for them. They feel like a part of something and a whole when they are all under the rule of one.

7.    If you were back home and there was never a war, what would you probably be doing at the moment?
Now think, what would that Jack think of this evolved Jack?

8.       I don’t know what to do anymore. I miss home still of course. Everyone does. I loved the idea of no grownups and a whole island to ourselves when we first arrived but now things are starting to get out of hand.
       I’m with Jack’s tribe. I feel more connected and it feels good to be a part of a group with hunting and dancing and meat! It’s just some of what goes on is getting a little much. Jack isn’t himself anymore. Just the other day he bet up my good friend Wilfred and now Ralph has gone into hiding, but above it all, the beast still wanders the island…
