chapter+11+and+12+discussions

1. In the beginning of the story jack was beating Piggy up all the time and picking on him. His death foreshadowed when Jack took Piggy's glasses and used them for the fire. Piggy without his glasses would have been completely helpless.

2. The author chose Roger and Jack to kill Piggy because Jack still has some distant feelings for Piggy, if not he would have killed him with his own hands. And also because he is the leader and Roger is his 'slave".

3. We think this means that it's not fair to capture people like animals. It's a form of civilization to respect and give people their own space.What they are doing is treating sam and eric as animals and taking them captive.

4. I think he didn't challenge him because he didn't want all the the conflicts that had happened the entire time they were on the island. He did not want the officer to find out how people really died.

5. The entire book, Ralph wanted to focus on keeping a fire and smoke so they could signal to be rescued. Because Ralph hid in the creepers, Jack's tribe set it on fire lighting the whole forest and the officers saw them.

6. I think if it was all girls they wouldn't have been so violent, and there would be more agreeing. Though there would also be bickering because girls love to talk and start drama.As opposed to having guys on the island, where all they did was fight.

7. In the beginning of the book they were all terrified of the beast and that they wouldn't see there parents again. Though, closer to the end they began to be afraid of each other.
