Summary
Ralph declares a meeting proclaiming that they haven’t been building shelters, collecting water in coconut shells, defecating in the proper areas, and maintaining a signal fire. He focuses on how important the signal fire is because it can help them get rescued. The littluns are frightened of their visions of the beast and insists that they have seen it. Ralph states that there is no beast and Jack agrees, but suggests he and his hunters will find and hunt down the beast if there is such a thing. After the assembly, they …show more content…
All these themes are present but in chapters 8 through 12, the highlight theme I recognized was fear. In the first four chapters, although they were scared, there were less conflicts and more freedom to have fun and live free. Now, the beast is more present and is the main conflict they are dealing with other than the constant rival for chief between Ralph and Jack. The main scenes were their exploration for the beast and other monsters which was triggered from the discovery of the beast the twins found on the mountain. The more they are holding on to their fear of the beast, the less work they achieve.

6. During their search for the beast, there were moments of affability between Ralph and Jack when Ralph let Jack lead the search instead of him. Also when Ralph volunteered to look at the caves, Jack joined him. “A sound behind him made him turn. Jack was edging along the ledge. “Couldn’t let you do it on your own” (Golding 106). This shows that although there is conflict between both of them, they know how to come together and reason. Their fear of the beast allowed them to work together. Although Jack and Ralph have negative feelings toward each other, they wouldn’t allow each other to get killed by the thing they fear the most.
7. Critical Questions
Why do you think Simon was having those illusions about the pig head or Lord of the Flies?
What do you think will happen to the separate groups? Will one group survive or will Jack or Ralph become isolated?
8. Vocabulary tempestuously: characterized by strong and conflicting
