Ch. 11 Questions

1. Ralph's group decides they need to keep the fire going. For that they must go to the savages and call an assembly.
2. The twins see Ralph for the first time because Ralph was always the strong, calm leader and now he seems hopeless and scared.
3. The boys attempt to get Piggy's specs and keep the fire going is bound to fail because the savages will not bargain to remain calm. Things are already tense and the boys going to the savages will be chaos.
4. I think Roger pushes the rock off the cliff because under Jack's influence, Roger has become even more of a savage. I think he also wants to impress Jack and seem like he has power too.
5. The destruction of the shell is symbolic because it is the end of civilization on the island.
6. Most of the boys want a chief because they feel like they have order and a mini civilization. A chief makes decisions for them so therefor they have someone to blame if things don't work out.
7. When you're out hunting and killing do you think about what your mom and family would think? Do you still want to be rescued?
8. Dear Diary,
             It feels like we've been on this island forever. Our thoughts of this being fun and full of freedom have vanished. We live in constant fear. Of ourselves, the "beast", not being rescued. I personally am afraid of Jack and the savages. They have killed Simon. Well we have killed Simon. It was a mistake, we were caught up in the moment and it happened. I feel guilt while it seems like everyone has brushed it off.
            I don't know if we will ever be rescued. The smoke has not worked and I'm starting to believe it was a silly idea. I miss home so much. Home, I forget what that word means now. All I have are these boys who I believed where my family. Now you can't trust any of them. I'm scared and I want to go "home."
