Chapter 11 Questions

1. Ralph and his group decide to retrieve Piggy's specs and go to the signal fire in Jack's tribe

2. The twins are "seeing Ralph for the first time" mainly because he was acting in a different manner than usual. He enforced the rules and said told everyone to act in a poise manner.

3.The attempt to retrieve Piggy's specs back and to maintain the signal fire is bound to fail because Jack will simply not allow it. He wants the power to make a fire and at this point he doesn't care about being rescued. Therefore, failure is inevitable for Ralph and his group.

4. Roger possibly pushed to rock off the cliff in hopes of murdering Ralph for that he was intruding Jack's tribe.

5. The destruction of the conch is significant because without it, the boys have no form of civilization left. After it was smashed, the civilized side within the island fell apart along with the conch.

6. The reasons why the boys want a chief is because they want guidance. Which is exactly what a chief does, lead and coordinate the plans. The felt as if they were to have a chief, things would operate smoother and better in the island when it comes to working together.

7. Jack, do you want to be rescued, return to your old normal life in which you were taken away from?
Why can't you just agree with anyone else other than yourself for a change?

8. Life on the island isn't the same anymore. Things have changed around here, people died, sacrifices were made. I can't really tell myself it will be alright anymore. Especially with Jack going power-hungry. I want to join tribes and work together, but I know Jack will do what ever it takes to be leader. He won't back down no matter what, I want to say I'm proud of him for sticking to his guns, but not in this case. All I hope for now is that we get things situated before things become awry.
I made a promise to myself when I became stranded in this island. "I won't let anyone belittle me or push me, and I sure won't drop my guard down for even a second." Quite frankly, I haven't been paying much attention to my own concerns. After Piggy's death, everything collapsed in me. I couldn't believe what had happened. It should have been me. Then I think back to whose fault it really is. Jack may have destroyed order in this island, bullied me and others, but he will pay the ultimate price if he ever tries to break my spirit. I will never forget Piggy, and I wish I could make him come back. It should have been me.
