Chapter 11 summary Lord of the Flies

In chapter 11, Jack wants Ralph to leave the camp. Ralph and Jack start fighting each other. Jack gets the hunters to rescue the twins and tie them up. Ralph and Jack fight again, and this time the conch shell cracks while piggy holding it. It knocks Piggy off the mountainside. Roget and Jack start picking on the twins, Sam and Eric. They are trying to force them to join Jacks authority and his tribe.

Jack and Roger shouldn't force them to join his authority and tribe because the should be aloud to do anything they want.

Thoughts on the book

     My overall thoughts on the book, is that its a pretty good book. I really enjoyed it. I feel this way because the little boys helped each other out throughout the book. The boys did team work and helped build a fire. They had ideas on how to find a way back home.
     The group work was alright. A lot of late work, and work not done, but we all also worked as a team and helped each other out. What i can do better, is put the summary's in my own word, and turn in work on time.

Thoughts On The Book

My overall thoughts on The Lord of the Flies was it was a pretty good book. It had action, adventure and drama which is everything teenagers want to see. Its not my favorite book though. Im not sure why it just didnt grab my attention like I thought it would or has I had hoped. I did like it I just thought I would have liked it a little more then I did.

My group was pretty good. Everyone did what we were asked. We had a couple incidents but I dont think it will hurt our grade. We maybe could work a little harder when we get into groups in class but we work good as a group outside of class which is odd but true. I was happy with my group and would like to work with them again.

Lord Of The Flies: Chapter 11 Summary

In this chapter the boys in Ralph's group decide to go to a place called castle rock. So Ralph blows he conch to assemble a meeting. Ralph decides to take the conch shell with him to castle rock. On the way there they boys from jacks camp attacked Ralph and his group. When Jack saw Ralph and his group he attacked Ralph. During there fight one of the boys pushes a rock down a hill that pushes piggy of a mountain side, where he hit the rocks at the bottom and was killed.

 My personal response to the events in this chapter 11 is that I am very disappointed that Piggy was killed because I think that he was a good role model for some of the boys on the island. And now Ralph is going to be lonely. And it will be difficult for Ralph to be leader of all the boys in his group by himself.

The end of the book

     I think at the end of the book they will get rescued. Once they get rescued they will all go their seperate ways for the ones on different tribes. They might keep in touch with the people in their own tribes. I think that Simons parents will become very worried. They will never know what happend though.
     I dont think Jacks tribe will ever realize what they did. They will wonder why Simon does not come back. I think that smeone will go looking for him. They will not find him though. None of the boys will forget the experience of this though.
