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.

Prediction

I would like the book to end with all of them getting off the island safely and back to there homes... with no more deaths.

Response

My feelings on Chapter 10 were that jack is now nothing but a power hungry person who has turned into a enemy to Ralph and the boys with Ralph.

Prediction

Id like for the book to end with them getting off the island. I want Jack to get killed off because hes not a nice person anymore. I really just want Ralph & Piggy to get off the island. I think out of the situation that the boys all grew up fast. When they get back to there parents they will have matured.

Lord Of The Flies: Chapter 10 Summary

In this chapter Ralph tells Piggy that they were part of a murder and Piggy disagrees and says it was just an accident. Jack's group brutally attacks Ralph and his group. at first no one knew why Jack's group attacked them but they soon realized it was because they wanted Piggies glasses because they can make the fire.

Chapter 10 Summary

Ralph & Piggy meet on the beach the next morning. They feel really bad about how they acted the night before. Ralph & Piggy realize there alone because everyone went and joined Jacks tribe. Jacks tribe is staying at the Castle Rock. There Jack has all the power over the boys. The boys get punished for no reason at all. Jack ties a boy named Wilfred and beat him. The whole tribe including Jack think that Simon was really a beast. Jack says that the beast will never really be dead. He also says that him & two hunters should go raid Ralphs camp and start hunting again tomorrow. The boys at Ralphs camp fall asleep because they got board watching the signal fire. They get woken up by a howling noise & then attacked by Jacks hunters. The hunters beat up Ralph pretty bad. The hunters stole Piggys glasses & the power to make a fire.

My thoughts on this chapter is that Jack has changed for the worst. Hes so mean and nasty now. All he wants to do is hurt Ralph. I also thought it was messed up of Jack to not care about Simon being dead. Jack needs and attitude check.

Prediction post

   I think that at the end of the chapter, the boys will get saved. They will build another fire, and hope someone will see the fire then come save them. I also think they will go back to the island and try to get some more rest. A plane will fly by and see the fire, and will land on the island to save the boys. Someone will come find them and take them back home.
   I also think that a boat will come behind the mountain, in the water, and see the fire. The person will climb the mountain after parking the boat, and then go find the boys. The person will find the boys on the mountain, and rescue them.

Chapter 9 summary

In Chapter 9 of Lord of the Flies, Simon wakes up from being unconscious, and his nose is all bloody. It just got done storming. He climbs back up to the mountain and finds the dead parachutist still laying there. He realizes it was just the beast tied up in the strings tangled on the rocks. He goes back to tell the boys, but when he got there, the boys though that Simon was the beast so they killed him. The "beast" was just all in there head, it wasn't really true.
