Hi
I HATE THIS CLASS

ENGLISH FYI

lol

LOVE YOU MS H

Rescued. Finally.

Ralph flees and returns at night to speak with Samneric who are the new guards. They warn Ralph to go away. Ralph learns the tribe will hunt him the next day like a pig. Roger is sharpening a stick at both ends. Ralph hides in a thicket. One of the twins gives away Ralph's location. They eventually fill the thicket with smoke. Ralph charges out and runs for his life. The hunters pursue. Ralph notices the island has caught fire. The hunters chase Ralph down to the beach where he finds a naval officer there to rescue them. Finallly they are rescued! It's horrible that so many deaths have happened already. Too bad Piggy died right before they were rescued. The officer couldnt believe how fast they boys turned savage. It was pretty ironic that it wasn't a signal fire that got them rescued. It was the fire that Jack set to lure Ralph out of hiding so he could kill him. The ending was horrible, but at least they were saved.

Death of Piggy, and the conch

 Piggy declares his intention to confront Jack and demand his glasses back. The four boys go to castle rock, conch in hand. Ralph blows the conch at the fort entrance. Ralph and Jack spar. Ralph demands Piggy's glasses. Jack's savages tie up Samneric. Piggy tries to talk sense into the savages. Roger wedges the giant rock loose. It smashes the conch and knocks Piggy off the cliff. Jack and the others throw spears at Ralph, who runs away. It's horrible that Piggy dies! What did he ever do to anyone? All he ever wanted to do was help. After everything Ralph is alone now. He has become the prey of Jack.
 ok so this picture isnt completely related to lord of the flies but i thought it was appropriate.

Stolen Fire

 Ralph, Piggy and Samneric are the only ones left in the original tribe. Ralph and Piggy express their horror over witnessing/participating in Simon's murder. Piggy tries to dimiss Simon's murder as an accident because he found it hard to accept that he took part in Simon's murder. Jack and his crew have taken up residence at the fort. Roger approaches and is told of one of the boys (Wilfred) being tied up and whipped. Jack and his tribe have been transformed into savages. They plot to steal fire. They raid Ralph and Piggy's camp and steal Piggy's glasses. Everything is turned around now. Jack is the one who is mostly in control now. Ralph is still a born leader trying to maintain his role. He only has a couple followers though. Unfortunatly I know it doesn't get any better from here.

Humanity basically dies

 Simon passes out and wakes up. He explores, discovers the truth about the beast, and heads immediately to the beach to tell the others. Meanwhile, all the boys have left the original camp to join Jack's hunters. Even Ralph and Piggy go. There's a dispute. It rains. Jack and his hunters begin their chant. Simon appears from the forest. They kill him. The dead parachutist is driven by the wind, over the boys, and out to sea. After the storm ceases, the boys gather around dead Simon as his body is washed out to sea. I think it is horrible that Simon died but since he was a symbol a good it was a sign that the savage and the evil in them has taken over and they killed the good they had left in them.

Slowely Losing humanity

Jack calls a meeting, insults Ralph, and asks for Ralph to no longer be chief. Nobody else agrees. Jack, embarrassed, leaves the tribe and goes into the forest. The assembly continues. Simon suggests they go up the mountain. Piggy suggests they build the fire on the beach since the beast is on the mountain. The boys gather wood. The littluns sing and dance. Roger, Bill, Maurice, and other biguns escape into the woods, following Jack. Simon has also disappeared into his secret spot. The hunters track down a pig and kill it. They chop off its head and offer it to the beast as a sacrifice. Flies swarm. This is where the name Lord of the Flies comes from. The hunters race back to the beach to steal fire. Simon arrives at the pig's head after the hunters have left. He imagines the pig's head is speaking to him. The pig's head tells Simon he can't escape. Jack's hunters raid Ralph's camp for fire and invite the others. Everyone is losing it. A pig head talking to Simon? Everyone has officially gone crazy. With all the boys losing their humanity someone is going to die soon then it will start a killing spree.

very creepy video but it sums up whats been happening

The hunt

The hunt for the beast continues. The boys come across a pig run and Ralph sticks a boar in the nose with a spear. The boar escapes. The boys act out a pig hunt with Robert playing the part of the pig. Even Ralph enjoys the spectacle. The quest for the beast continues until evening. Jack, Ralph, and Roger agree to scale the mountain. The three boys see the dead parachutist who they mistake for the beast and run away as fast as they can.

i know its just clips from the movie and a song but i thought it was pretty neat.

Beastie

A plane is shot down high above as the children sleep. A dead parachutist lands on the island, stuck in the rocks and trees. Samneric see the dead parachutist and mistake it for the beast. The boys hunt for the beast. They can't find it. Jack thinks he's found a good fort from which to throw rocks at people. After not finding the beast, Ralph notices the fire has gone out. None of the others, especially Jack, seem to care. It seems to me that no one cares about being saved anymore. At this point in the book its pretty much just every boy for themselves. They are losing control of their humanity. What's going to happen now? Are they all just going to go savage and kill each other?

Conflicts are rising

 Ralph tries to set things in order. He reestablishes rules regarding the fire and where to go to the bathroom. The subject of the beast is brought up. Jack argues the island is too small for a beast. One of the boys claims the beast comes from the sea. The boys argue. Simon suggests that they are the beast. They all make fun of him. The arguing continues. Jack storms away from the meeting with his hunters, who make horrific sounds in the darkness. Piggy begs Ralph to call them back with the conch. He longs for grown ups to make things right.  I believe that Simon is right. The beastie symbolizes the monsters that the boys are becoming. They are afraid of turning savage.

Painted Faces

 Roger and Maurice bully the littluns on the beach. They are still, however, held back by rules they learned in civilization. Jack paints his face for hunting. His mask liberates him from the rules of civilization. He leads the boys on a hunting expedition. As Jack and the hunters are out, a ship passes by. Ralph realizes the hunters have let the fire go out. He races to the top, but is unable to light it in time. Jack and the hunters return with a pig. Ralph and Jack argue. Jack punches Piggy in the gut. One of Piggy's lenses from his glasses breaks. The boys cook the pig and have a feast. Ralph announces a meeting. The conflicts are starting to come to a climax and now the boys have painted their faces which means they are trying to forget the rules of civilization and become savage. Jack's violence towards piggy could foreshadow a conflict resulting in piggy's death. We'll see what happens.

Chapter 3 Summary

Jack is obsessed with hunting pigs although he has yet to catch one. Ralph and Simon work on the huts. Everyone else plays. Jack has become savage in his quest for blood. Ralph and Jack argue. Jack is letting his obsession with hunting the pig get to him. All he can think about is killing the pig and it is causing conflict with everyone. Simon wanders off, helps the littluns get fruit, and continues to an isolated location. Ralph is the only one who is focused on building the huts. This causes conflict with everyone because Ralph is getting fed up with all the boys only wanting to play or hunt.
 

Chapter 2 Summary

The three boys return from their exploration and call an assembly. One of the littleuns mentions a snake thing, a beastie, which sends fear throughout the group. They debate its existence and determine the littluns were having nightmares. Ralph decides they need to make a fire on the mountain as a rescue signal. They use Piggy's glasses to light the fire. The fire rages out of control. One of the littleuns dies in the large fire. Piggy and Jack argue. This argument could foreshadow something happening to Piggy.    

Lord of the Flies Chapter 1

The two boys meet and discuss the fact that, holy smokes, their plane has crashed. There are no grown-ups.  The kid that is slightly overweight admits to Ralph that most people call him “Piggy,” and asks Ralph not to tell anyone. Ralph claims that his father, who is in the Navy, is going to come rescue them. Piggy, however, says the pilot told them (before the crash) that an atomic bomb had gone off and everyone was dead. Ralph and Piggy find a conch and blow it to call a meeting. Ralph was elected Chief and felt bad for Jack so he gave Jack control of the choir boys. You can already tell that Ralph and Jack aren't going to get along and that foreshadows future problems.
