BRAINLST PLEAS :DDD
Piggy's glasses fall off and one lens breaks which makes Piggy able to see out of only one eye. Although Piggy's glasses were used to start the fire now it will take a longer time to start the fire because one of the lenses are broken.
Explanation:What does piggy say about Jack's feelings for him and for Ralph? what conclusion does piggy come to? Piggy says that Jack hates him and ralph. piggy decides that since Ralph is chief and has authority over Jack, Jack can't hurt him.
it shows that jack hates piggy
What are the purpose and effect of Jack's generosity with the meat he and the hunters obtained? What do you think his decision to give meat to even Ralph and Piggy is meant to show?
I believe that is showing that Jack wants to gain control of all the boys in the group and win over the boys who aren't already with him, such as Ralph and Piggy. This is also meant to show the boys that he is a kind leader and will share around even with people who haven't joined with him. This could also help to persuade Ralph and Piggy to join with Jack.
Why does Jack command the boys to dance and chant, and why is this an effective leadership tactic? What psychological effect does dancing and chanting have on the boys? Think back to the effect that putting on makeup had on them in Chapter 4.
Jack orders the boys to dance and chant as they obey happily. By doing this they are no longer thinking straight and immersing themselves wholly with the excitement of being a hunter and being apart of Jack's tribe. When Jack calls his tribe to the 'pig dance', it is also taking the attention away from Ralph and his beliefs of their being a big storm, and back to the tribe and Jack. He is able to make the boys listen to him and not respond to what Ralph has to say. In the end, their little dance and game turns into something a lot more sinister.
What is the "beast" that the boys kill? How is this event ironic and especially tragic (not only for the "beast," but for everyone on the island)? How is it symbolically significant?
The "beast" that the boys killed is actually Simon, who knew the truth about the beast and represents the answer to their insanity. This event is symbolic as the boys have become too fearful, primitive, and eager for blood, and as a consequence, have destroyed their only salvation.
Why do you think Golding decided to have the "figure" fly over the boys on the beach and into the sea? Why do you think he had Simon's body get washed away, and what does this represent in a psychological sense?
I think that Golding made the 'beast' fly off the island because I think he wanted to show what will happen to the boys even when what they fear is gone. The boys have so far kept away from the beast so I doubt they will go back to check it is still there. This means the boys will be worrying over a nonexistent problem. I feel simon was washed away because the spiritually and ration he contained was being washed away and lost from the island. It is also washing away the knowledge that there was nothing to fear and this could lead the boys to spiral down further.
How do Ralph and Piggy view Simon's death? How does each of them react to it? Why does Ralph laugh as he says, "I got the conch," and why does Piggy react so strongly to his laughter? What explanations do they have for their behavior, and what excuses do they come up with? What do these reactions show about them and about human nature?
and piggy want to deny having anything to do with Simon's death. they want to avoid it at all costs. they don't want samneric to know they were there. Ralph isn't coping well and laughs at all mentions of civilization on the island. he laughs at the notion he is still cheif and that the boys will still listen to him. when he sarcastically says 'i've got the conch' Piggy reacts strongly because he can see that Ralph is slipping away from civilization and Piggy needs Ralph to stay rational and lead the boys to rescue.
this is all showing that Ralph is reating to Simon's death by being sad and giving up (on things such as civilization and rescue) whereas Piggy is holding his emotions in and keeping them hidden so Ralph has a (n emtionally) strong figure to look up to and have hope it.
