Chapter+9+Discussions

Chapter 9 and 10 Discussion 1. We think the climax of the story is when they kill the "beast" Simon. We think this because this is moment when Jack and his clan really show that they are insane. They have gone to far and shown that they are animals on the loose.

2. Simon's death was ironic because Simon was the "peacemaker" the last person you would that would be killed. He was liked by all and kept to himself, and always did what he was told. His death symbolizes that Jack and everyone has gone insane. They will stop at nothing and kill everyone. Especially Jack.

3. The chapter meant that Simon actually saw his death. He saw everybody spearing him and killing him. They tore his body apart and thought he was the beast. They were ferocious. Also it could symbolize that this is not the end, not the last death. This is only a portion "View" of the deaths that happen.

4. Piggy want's to forget it, say it was an accident. He is scared and sad therefore he want's to forget it. Ralph want's to talk about because he doesn't want it to happen again.

5. Piggy means that he came at dark, he was talking about the beast. We do not agree with him because you can't just spear people, with out paying attention.

6. This shows that Ralph doesn't really care about anyone else, just like Jack. He does not act for the god of the tribe.

7. It shows Jack can do whatever he want's. Jack can do whatever Ralph does.
