Chapter 11 Questions

1. Ralph's group has decided to go to Jack's tribe and try to get Piggy's glasses back and to tell them that they should maintain a signal fire for the hopes of being rescued.

2. The twins are seeing Ralph for the first time before going to Castle Rock in the ways of that they are seeing Ralph in a different manner in what they are used to. Ralph usually can maintain his order but in this section Ralph kind of loses his mind and becomes angry.

3. The whole attempt of the boys going to the savages and trying to get Piggy's glasses and maintain the signal fire is bound to fail because Jack doesn't really care if they gets rescued and all Jack cares about he and his tribe surviving. Jack will do and think of anything to get make sure that they survive in any way.

4. I think that roger pushes the rock off the roof because he wants to add to the frenzy that is going on and also he would want to help Jack and the savages in the fight that is going on.

5. The destruction of the conch is symbolically significant because it means the end of the civilization that the boys tried to build and maintain at the beginning of the book. The laws and sense of government is now gone.

6. The boys want a chief because it takes the place of the adult figure they need. It also gives them the security that someone is their leader and can look after their well being.

7.

• Did you know that what you killed wasn't the beast but it was actually Simon trying to tell you that the "beast" was just a dead carcass?
• If you had a choice to be rescued tomorrow would you go back home or continue to stay at the Island?

8. The Island has turned from this adventure filled wonderland that we all would have fun in to a place of complete disgust and shame. The island now seems like a never escaping pit of complete betrayal a loss of humanity. I feel at this rate we won't get rescued and we will eat ourselves alive before the island has a chance to. The island for me now is a place where I wouldn't want to be. If I knew that it would cause this to all of us I would like to take back the idea of when I thought this was a place of fun and freedom.
    The boys now are totally not the people who I met and knew the first day we came into the island. It seems that this island brought out the worst in everybody. Ralph is now losing his mind and getting fed up with everyone. Jack is now a complete monster. He totally changed and I don't know who he is anymore. And everyone else doesn't know what to do.  they all need some sense of leadership, but we aren't getting anything. We need help before chaos arrives and destroys us all.
