Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters

Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters
Perspective: Ralph

I walk through the forest alone. No good friend like Piggy to talk to. I walk and come face to face to a pigs head on a stick, but now it is a skull, nothing left behind. I keep walking towards Jack's castle rock. But to my surprise I run into Sam and Eric. They keep talking about a cordon. But instead of preventing me to get through, they are trying to track me. They say instead he trying to kill me. I told them that I was going to hide in the thicket. Like a diddle I told them.They give me some meat and say to watch out. I go to where I will sleep. I think of Jack threatening the twins to join or will die, or threatened. Then I think of what sharpened stick means. Then I think and thought of the pig. Roger wants to kill me, cut my head off, and stick it on the stick and stab it in the ground.
I finally wake up to see that Jack and the hunters are pushing huge bolder at me. I think at Sam and Eric rated me out. I hear them talking to Jack saying that he is hiding in there. I was hiding in the thicket. I decided to hide there because if Jack tired to come through it would take him a while to get through then if one of the hunters tried to crawl through I could attack them there. They finally found out that I was not going to get out with the bolder coming down at me. Then they all grab spear and stab the thicket. I was so stupid. I stabbed back and hit someone. But then they start a huge fire on the island.
Percival Wemys Maddison is one boy I can remember his name. I start to think as fast as I can. I think of two plans. Either I run and climb up a tree or I can flee. I decide to flee but I find a perfect spot to hide. It is a dark place so whoever finds it will have to climb down to see me. But to my luck Someone sees me. I hit there legs and ran to the beach. But when I looked to my greatest surprise I see a naval officer. he is wearing drill made uniform and epaulettes on his uniform. He looks at me in in surprise. Of course ten Jack comes running out about to kill me. The naval office ask who is in charge. I look up and say I am in charge. But all broke loose and went crazy. But the naval officer says he is disappointed in us. He says we are British boys, we should have done better then that.

Roger was in charge of the delirious boys when Jack was hunting. Ralph was the one who went to the castle rock and was trying to call an assembly.

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

8.What is Roger doing during Piggy’s plea for a return to decency?
Roger is putting all of his weight on a lever that is under a huge rock.

9.Write a STRONG PARAGRAPH about who is responsible for Piggy’s death and why.
I think two people are responsible for Piggy's death. First Jack because if Jack did not steal the glasses, then this whole would have never happened. Then Jack also started the fight which made the boys become delirious. I also think Roger is to blame. If Roger did not start to try to push the rock off the ledge then Piggy would have not gotten hit. In the end I feel Jack was the most to blame because he did make Piggy blind so he could not move out of the way.

Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses

Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses

Today it is my first day dead. I see Ralph and Piggy talking. I move in and hear they are talking about me. Ralph saying that they murdered me. That it was there problem for killing me. But Piggy on the other hand thinks it was all an accident and should not put the blame on them. They keep fighting. Ralph screaming it was a murder and Piggy screaming it was an accident. Right now I can't even think what happened it was so quirk I barley remember.

Then I move over to Jack and his hunters. I see Roger grab Wilfred and tie him up. I think it was to teach him a lesson. I think Jack rules with an iron fist. But he is a big bully. I think it was to teach a lesson, don't cross Jack and you won't end up tied and beaten.

I finally see Jack I get closer to hear what he is saying to Roger and Maurice. They keep talking about going to the camp ground and stealing Piggy's glasses. I run to Ralph to try to warn him someway. But I forgot I am a ghost. So I wait to see Jack and the other two come into camp.

I follow them in the dead of night to see that they come into Ralph's camp and take Piggy's glasses. Then it all made sense they wanted fire. I try to help and try to trip Jack but he can walk through me of course. Then I see Ralph kicking Sam's butt for some reason. Hitting him left and right it was hilarious. Jack got away and is showing of his success, the glasses.

In the end I feel it was not the boys fault for my death. I guess they might have thought I was maybe the beast. It was more the wrong place at the wrong time. I do blame Jack he thought I was the beast in disguise. So he acts like he did a favor.

Chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness & Chapter 9: A View to a Death


Chapter 8:Gft for the Darkness

The scene where Jack and his hunters create the sacrificial pig head/ “Lord of the Flies”.
In this scene Jack and his hunters find a mother pig with her piglets. They are hidden and the mother pig is under the shadows. There is no wind and it is very hot. Jack points seeing if the other boys understood. He yells now to swarm the pig. Roger pulls back his arm and hurls a spear at a piglet. The piglet got hit but runs away into the sea. But two spears hit the mother pig in her butt. While the boys rush to finish their kill the other piglets ran off while the mother was escaping to the forest. All the boys run after her in the hunt. They follow her pig tracks until it was too long and they lost the tracks. Jack inflamed with anger curses and pounds the ground. But then he saw her in a field. One boy throws another spear and get her right in the butt. Now they could follow her by the blood trail she left behind. They were right behind her. She got into a open space where butterflies where dancing and flowers everywhere. She comes to a halt to weak to move on. The hunters rush over to her. Roger stabbing her whenever pigflesh was shown. Jack stabbing downward with his knife.Roger finds a spot to stab her and puts his whole weight on the spear while it probes deeper. jack finds the throat and cuts to hear no more squealing. Hot blood allover his hands. Then Jack decides the gift to the beast will be the pigs head. Jack says to sharpen both sides of the stick. He stabs the stick into the ground and the free end has the severed pigs head.

I think that part is the most terrifying part because William Golding puts way to muck description. The thought of seeing little kids kill and pig that is hanging on for dear life is a horrible picture to think of. Even the part where Roger puts his whole weight on the pig while the spear goes deeper and deeper is a disturbing act. In the book William says they are excited to kill an animal really freaks people out. Like killing a human.

Chapter 9: A View to a Death


I think Jack was responsible for Simon cruel murder even though the hunters killed him. I think Jack killed Simon is because he says in the book Jack tells the hunters to "Do our dance! Come on! Dance" he is making them get excited to kill. Then when he says " I don't care. Simon was the beast in disguise". That is the one line that shows he didn't care he was doing a favor by getting rid of the beast. Simon deserves to die , is what he is saying. Simon was the beast in disguise last night so I had to kill him. The beast is now gone. That is what I think Jack is trying to say. Instead of being mad, be joyful, I killed the beast we can sleep with comfort and no fear. This is why I think Jack killed Simon that horrible night.

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 7:Shadows and Tall Trees
"Surround him! Quick!"
Perspective:Jack

What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.

After we almost caught a pig we play a game were Robert is the pig and we try to kill him first we huddle around him. Once he is all covered we hit him with the end of our spears. Some how Ralph spears a boar but it got away. The boys were being very bravado during the hunt. Which was perfect because that means they were excited. where we were hunting it was very moors. I think the boys think I am sagely for thinking up how to kill a pig with the circle move.

Jack suggests, “You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act, you know, pretend to knock me over and all that.” Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?

Later Robert says we have to use a real pig because we can kill it for real. Which I think was impervious idea. Instead I suggest that we use a littlun. I think this means another person might be killed but I am not going to point any fingers.

What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)

The boys and I find a beast like thing kinda dun. Almost not alive. But the kids are go gullible because first they believed the twins Sam n Eric.

Why do you hate Ralph so much? Why won’t you talk it over with him?

I don't like Ralph because all he cares about is the littluns, or the huts, fire, and the bathroom. Which he does not understand is that hunting is first on the list. Then when we try to go hunt he has to make a game plan to what we are going to do. I won't talk to him about it because he does not need help being leader. Maybe if the load of cheif is too musch he wll give it to me instead. Then all of use will survive on the island.

Chaper 6:Beast from Air

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 6:Beast from Air
"Watch Out the Beast Might come for Us!"
Perspective:Simon

What sign comes down from the grown up world?
A huge explosion comes from the sky and some guy comes down with his parachute. Maybe it might be dead, it was flailing around like crazy. It is really waxy right now.


Why aren’t the boys aware of it?
First it come out at night and the two littluns, Sam n Eric where watching the fire, not looking out for the leviathan or any thing.

Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?
They were terrified because something came from the sky and just landed on our island. We don't know if it is nice or anything. Then they are two littluns watching the fire, nothing else.

How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?
They say the beast with long claws, sharp teeth, and wings.

What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
First Jack first thinks of killing the beast. He kind of thinks mutinously a lot. But Ralph rather stay an make up a game plan. Instead he thinks who will be watching the fire while Jack hunts, then you will watch the littluns because they can not protect themselves, and the huts who makes sure they will be alright.

Is there really a beast? How do you know?
I don't think there is a beast because the beast is always talked about but never seen. Or it is seen by the littluns, none of the bigguns. But the beast does give me some diffidently feelings.

What do you think the actual beast that all of the boys are so afraid of really is?
I think the beast is just some wild pig that might have gotten a little bigger then the rest, probably because he lived longer. Then the person who fell from the sky. Just a person, nothing more.

Chapter 5:Beast from Water

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 5 – Beast from Water

“Jack is a Big Jerk”

Perspective: Piggy

Why is an assembly called?

An assembly is called because Ralph thinks we are not doing what we said we would do. He says we are not pulling our own weight.

What concerns are brought up?

Some of the concerns that are brought up is no one is allowed to make fire. If they need to use fire for anything they have to go to the top of the mountain to use it. Also someone said they would be helping us by putting water into cocoanuts so we don’t have to do that every time we are thirsty. There was something about the huts about everyone helped with the first hut, a couple people helped with the second hut, then only Simon and Ralph did the last one. Then he keeps discursive on about going to the bathroom, I guess some people were going near the food. Now we have to go near the rocks so it will was away. We also talked about the beastie and that it comes from the water. Even thought we have fear we have to stay together.

How do you feel about those concerns?

I feel some of the concerns are okay. But walking up a mountain just to cook one thing might be a little harder to manage. The huts I don’t get why he was mad because I helped with the first two.

How are things breaking up (falling apart)?

Now we are split into two groups. Simon, Ralph, and I are one group whose main focus is the huts right now. Then the other group is Jack and the rest of the boys, who only cares about the hunting. Which I think is a ludicrous idea, I think we should stay together even though we might not get along.

Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep?

The littluns cry in their sleep because they are scared that they might be like the boy with the mulberry birth mark and might have the end of their adventure running from the beastie. Also because that kid said that he say the beastie come from the water. So they lamentation all night about the thought of it being real and the thought that they might be the next missing person.

What was Percival Wemys Madison afraid of?

Percival is afraid of the beastie. He was sleeping and when he woke up he was tangled in the vines and saw something in the bushes. He says the beastie comes from the water that is why Jack and the hunters cannot find it.

What do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?

The dirtiest thing about human nature is judging a book by it’s cover. Jack just judges me because I am fat. He freely jeeringly to me like he knew me forever to say these things. Even though I am very decorum around people.

If you were the leader of the boys right now, how would things be different?

If I was the leader right now I would make sure that Jack finds this creature and does not come back until he does. So then he can never come back to the group.

Chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 4 – Painted Faces and Long Hair

“Why Did the Fire Go Out?”

Perspective: Ralph

What things are you having trouble adjusting to on the island that are different from your life at home in England?

At home in England I did not have to worry about everyone else in the whole country. Now I have to take care of little kids and be leader of the big kids. I did not know Jack so life was easier. The island is easy to adjust to because it is ours. Now say it was another person’s island then we would have to listen to there rules. No I get to make the rules so it is an easier thing to adjust to.

How do you feel about the littluns?

I feel the littluns need to start helping us out or we will never survive. I think that we would be a little better off I everyone would help in the same place. So if the littuns helped us out we would have a better place.

What do they do with their time?

In the littluns spare time they be lazy, hang out, play around, and just to kids. But because we are on the island we will need to work or the kids might not survive.

Why do you all paint your faces?

Jack and the hunting group painted their faces because he thinks that the pigs can see him, which is why they haven’t caught anything. But the pig was kind of a balm.

What does this foreshadow?

I think the painting of their faces is foreshadowing that maybe when one of them is wearing the clay they will start to go missing. Or maybe they will start killing more pigs for the boys to eat.

How do you feel when your face is painted?

I think it is stupid when Jack thinks that the pig can see him and can tell where he is. Then when he puts on the makeup he is some superhero or something. Which maybe he was being blatant.

Why doesn’t the passing ship see you on the island?

The ship does not see us because Jack said he was going to watch the fire and when we get up there, there was no Jack and the fire was out. Then when he comes from hunting he acts like it is nothing. He is so belligerence toward me. He gives me a lot of malevolently.

Why was the fire allowed to go out?

The fire went out because Jack impalpable soul thought maybe instead of being rescued he should go hunt instead. So he left his post and let the fire go out.

How do you re-assert your chieftainship? (How do you take charge of the boys once again?)

I call a meeting to discuss what we need to do. Right away with all the boys.

Chapter 3 Huts on the Beach

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 3 – Huts on the Beach

“Hunting the fat one”

Perspective: Jack

Why is it important/not important to have shelter for the little ones?

It doesn't matter if we have shelter for the little ones. As long as I have my knife, all of us will be safe. Food shortage might be a problem if the fat kid keeps eating. Although the huts will keep me from being tendril for the night and dry if it rains. No use for me if I am cold all night.

What are the various jobs assigned to the boys?

Well I am the leader of the hunting group, also the choir. Which next time that pig will contrite to me. Then Ralph is the leader of everyone else which I think is inscrutable. The rest of the boys help Ralph. Which I think Ralph is too rapt to be leader.

Why aren’t they carried out?

The jobs are not being followed through because these kids have compulsions to run away and not work.

What do you feel is the most important task for survival? Explain.

The most important part of survival, no the only important part is to hunt. Without food we will die and who will be crying to Jack all the little kids around. Without meat there will be some serious deaths coming our way.

Describe Simon. (If you are Simon, describe yourself)

Simon is skinny, tanned from the sunburn he got, has black hair, and has a pointy chin. He is wearing shorts, no shoes, and he is short.

What do you think will happen on this island if you don’t get rescued soon?

Well if I don't get the beastie everyone will get scared about it and maybe he will take another one. Maybe this time Ralph will get taken away. But of course I am here so I will take care of everything and everything will move smoothly.

Why don’t you get along with Ralph (in this chapter)?
Ralph is crazy he thinks that hunting is least important right now. But if we don't have meat we might as well die on this island.

Chapter 2 Fire on the Mountain

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 2 – Fire on the Mountain

“Stop Picking on Piggy!”

Perspective: Simon

Do you think this is a good island or a bad island?

The island was good in the beginning but when the fires started it is a bad island. Then when I met Jack and he demeaning Piggy. I had to stick up for him. Then there is the missing kid that talked about the snake beastie and has now disappeared. Which I think had to do something with the beastie eating him. But now I am really scared for all of use.

What is the beastie?

The beastie is a snake thingy says the boy with the scar. Also it comes in the night.

What does it symbolize?

Symbolizes what one slip up can do. Piggy didn't get all the names and take attendance. The one boy who sees it is now gone. We had to much fire wood now we could be burned alive.

How does it make you feel?

It frightens me a lot because the beast took one person who say and knew about it. Now that we all know about it what will happen. Who will be the next person to disappear?

What is your plan for being rescued?

My plan is to do whatever Ralph tells me to do. Even though the first plan was not right I rather stay in the group then go on my own. Then if I did leave it would be me and Jack. Then Jack would be the leader and I would never be rescued.

Do you want to be rescued?

I want to be rescued. First I do not like knowing that my parents could be thinking that I died. Then there is Jack. He is such a jerk to all of us, more to Piggy. I don’t know how long our resources will last because the fire might kill most of it. Then the animals there could kill us. All of now scared for this beastie talk and the missing kid.

How did you start a fire and what happens to the fire?

We started the fire with Piggy’s specs. Then of course the fire got to big and is now out of control and the island might be burnt with all the rest of us.

What happened to the little boy with a mark on his face?

The little boy with the mark on his face has gone missing. Maybe he went from the snake beastie.

How are you different from all the other boys?

I am shyer of all the boys. I stick up for Piggy from Jack. I faint when it is really hot. I care about people.

As you go to bed each night, what is going through your head? Are you afraid, excited, indifferent…? What’s going on inside of your head?

Every night I see terror. I won’t get off this island, I will die before I get rescued. Or even Jack will be leader and decides to make Piggy leave the group

Chapter 1 Sound of the Shell

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 1 – Sound of the Shell

“My Name’s not Fatty or Piggy!”

Perspective: Piggy

Describe the setting of the island.

The island is big. The sand has a motif look to it and the jungles are really dense. Everywhere time we go out to look the view keeps efflorescence with new things. The trees have big fronds on them which makes the jungle so dense. But the plane left a big scare in the jungle so we might check that later. There are blue waters but I cannot go in because of my asthma.

What major event has brought you to this island?

Well I was talking to my Auntie where talking about me going on this plane. The next day I was heading off. Half way thru the flight I was getting incredulous because we were taking longer than I thought. I look to the right of the plane to look at the wing next thing I knew it was on fire. Next thing I knew I was on an island.

Introduce yourself and explain your relationship to the other characters (of interest) who have been introduced so far.

My name is Piggy. I have asthma and I live with my aunt because both of my parents are dead. The first person I met was Ralph. He is really cool. But I am really mad at him for calling me Piggy I front of everyone. But he’s right it is better than fatty. Then I met the two twins Sam and Eric. They are okay I think I will get confused too much. Then we met Jack. He is a jerk to me. He calls me fatty and he thinks he should be the leader but I think he thinks he is better then everyone. I think Jack is specious. Then there is Simon. He scared me when he faint I think I might have to watch out for that.

Why are there no adults on this island?

I think all the adults have died. Or maybe someone shot us down and when everyone was unconscious someone might have stole them. But I am thinking that the parent needs to come soon. I feel something is going to go wrong. Maybe the parents went to go look for help.

What powers does a person holding the conch have? How do you feel about the conch?

Well I think the conch is glamour over all the boys. Almost who is the leader of our group. Whoever finds it had to be brave, smart, and have leadership skills. That is why I am happy that Jack did not find the conch something bad would be bad. He only cares about being better than the rest of us. Whoever has the conch makes the rules, makes everyone in the group listen to them.

What is the choir’s job? How do you feel about the boys in the choir?

Their job is to hunt and kill animals. I do not like the choir boys because Jack is their leader. I think they are cowards because they let Jack run their lives. Poor Simon got heat stroke and Jack thought he was joking. But the other boys I have to learn about them later.

Who do you want to be the leader on the island? Why?

I think the leader should be Ralph. He is nice to everyone, but still strong. He is fearless but not arrogant. I think he is much better then Jack. He found the conch with leader. Ralph cares about everyone instead of himself. Then he already made a meeting by himself.
