Journal #15
I was disappointed at the end of the novel. I wish Ralph killed one of Jacks guys because he lost Simon, Piggy, and Samneric. I suppose Ralph cries at the end of the novel because he can finally get away from the danger of the boys and not get hunted down by Jack and be safe in the presence of an adult. He is also happy he got rescued by his idea of using the fire as a smoke signal. It's no surprise that I despise Jack the most. He was Ralph's opposite. He led a group of savage hunters, forced boys to join his tribe and was responsible for the murders of Simon and Piggy. His attitude and personality is vengeful and full of hatred. I liked the novel so I guess I would recommend it to a friend if they like these type of novels.

Ch. 11 Questions
1. Ralph's group decides that they must go to Jack's tribe and ask for Piggy's specs back in a clean and washed manor.
2. The twins see Ralph as a boy who is losing his mind little by little. He is not fit to lead when he doesn't even know what their main goal is.
3. The boy's are out numbered by Jack's crew and can not over power them if they need to fight for the specs and fire.
4. I think Roger pushed the rock off the cliff because Piggy was holding the conch an Roger does not want to follow the rules of the conch anymore.
5. The destruction of the conch signifies that all rules, law, and order is gone.
6. They want a chief because they want to follow someone, not make rules and order the rest of the group. Survival is only in the hands of one person.
7. Would you want off this island or stay here and kill pigs for the rest of your days?
Did you want to be a commander in the army so you could bark orders or help your country?
8. The island was paradise when we first got here. It feels like there's and evil on the island, an evil that was not there to start with. We would walk into the forest and walk around for hours and not be frightened of any thing lurking around. Now it seems like thunderstorms and rain come every night. The loud clash of thunder mute the rhythmic chants of the hunters and the cries of their victims.
The boys have changed. They're chanting and hunting for the thrill of the chase not just for survival. They murdered Simon out of fear and fun because they weren't smart enough to realize that he was not anything like the beast that they fear so much. They also killed Piggy for a reason that does not seem so clear and they chanted and screamed at the top of there lungs after.The boys don't seem to show any remorse for the passing of their fellow companions.
