Lord of the Flies- Chapter 11

Chapter 11- Castle Rock

1. In the beginning of the chapter, what does Piggy tell Ralph to do with the conch?
-Piggy wanted Ralph to call an assembly with the conch. He says, "It's the only thing we got." To Piggy, the conch is a sort of talisman.

2. What reason will Piggy give Jack for the return of his glasses?
-Piggy told Jack that he doesn't have to, but he should give them back because it's the right thing to do.

3. What does Ralph declare their appearance will be when they approach Jack?
-Ralph wanted to look clean and presentable when reasoning with Jack.

4. Who challenges the boys on their approach to Castle Rock?
-Roger is the first to say anything to them.

5. When Jack appears, what has he been doing?
-Jack had been hunting.

6. What does Ralph call Jack that provokes a fight?
-Ralph calls Jack a thief which makes Jack angry and delirious.

7. What happens to Samneric after the fight?
-They got bound up and forcibly were added to Jack's tribe.

8. What is Roger doing during Piggy’s plea for a return to decency?
-Roger was throwing stones at him and Ralph.

9. Write a STRONG PARAGRAPH about who is responsible for Piggy’s death and why.
-I believe that Jack is responsible for the cessation of Piggy's life. If not for Jack, I doubt that any of the other boys would be so cruel and uncontrollable. They would not have started a new tribe of savages, and they would not have stolen Piggy's glasses. If the glasses had not been stolen, Piggy would not have had to go ask for them, leading to his death. Overall, I believe Jack is fully responsible for the murder of Piggy because he lead the boys in their truculency.
