Chapter 12 Journal Question
In the end, I didn't expect that they're going to be saved. I thought that they were all going to die because of all the evil things they do to each other. I think that Ralph was crying with tears of joy in the end of the novel because he knows that they are all going to be saved already. I think that he is also happy because everything is over and that they don't have to go through more tragic events. I despise Jack the most in this novel because he is very evil. I think that it is sad how a little boy can think about murder and be happy about it. I would recommend this book to people who loves reading books because this book has a lot of symbolization and everything that has happened has a meaning to it.

Chapter 11 Questions
1. Ralph decided that he wanted to blow the conch to call an assembly so that they can get Piggy's specs back and so that they can still keep the signal fire on.
2. On the beginning of the story, the twins thinks of Ralph as a person that is organized, and that he can handle the boys since that they have their vote for Ralph as chief. Now, he is showing his aggressive side and they never expected it from him.
3. The boy's attempt to get Piggy's specs and get the signal fire going on failed because they won't listen to him anymore. Even though Jack doesn't have the conch, he is now their new leader.
4. I think that Roger was pushing rocks from the cliff because he wants to show that he is also powerful.
5. The destruction of the conch represents that they are all living in an uncivilized life now. They have been on the island for a long time now and their evil sides are showing up.
6. For most boys, they wanted a chief because they know that they can make their way to get out of the island with Ralph's help. They are civilized when they are under the laws or rules of their chief.
7. Why do you feel happy when you are killing someone and something?
Do you think that living a savage life will make you and the boys successful in terms of trying too get rescued from the island?
8. Now that everyone has been on this island for a long time, the boys' attitude changed. Jack and his tribe goes around killing some boys and keeps hunting. They lost their civilization. Even if Ralph had the conch, Jack was their new chief because he has more power than anyone else. Now, everyone is scared that if they don't obey him, they will suffer a big consequence from him.

Chapter 10 Questions
1. About Simon's death, Ralph says "That was murder" (Golding, 156). Piggy says that "'It was an accident,' said Piggy suddenly, 'that's what it was. An accident.'" (Golding, 157). The only thing that All that Samneric says is that "'...We were very tired,' repeated Sam, 'so we left early...'" (Golding, 158). Ralph thinks that what happened last night was a murder, while Piggy kept convincing him that it was only an accident. Samneric kept saying that they left early, so they were saying that they didn't know what happened.
2. Ralph ended up with the conclusion that it was murder, while Jack kept avoiding the issue and blames it on "the beast." Ralph remembered what happened, "It was dark. There was that-that bloody dance. There was lightning and thunder and rain. We was scared." (Golding, 156). Jack knew what happened, but because of his pride, he still wants to be respected by everyone as chief. All savages had to deny it for him. "'But didn't we, didn't we-?' He squirmed and looked down. 'No!'" (Golding, 160).
3. Jack wanted to prove that he is the new leader, and he expects everyone to bow down for him. "The tribe lay in a semicircle before him" (Golding, 160). Jack also gives out consequences to everyone who disobeys, and it leads the boys to have the fear from him. "I don't know. He didn't say. He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up..." (Golding, 159).
Jack is the new chief because he is more powerful than anyone else now. The boys listen to him because they fear that something bad may happen to them if they don't obey and listen.
Ralph: Tells Piggy to don't say anything
Piggy: *Ass-mar attack*
-Jack and the savages attacks-

Ralph: Punches Eric on the face unknowingly
Jack: takes Piggy's glasses and hums and cartwheels
Roger: leaves after the glasses were found
Sam: gets stuck in the corner and didn't fight anyone
Eric: Gets beat down by Ralph
