Lord of the Flies: Chapter 3 and 4

My Journal Entry for Chapter 3:
Three details of the story

  • Jack starts to rebel against Ralph's leadership. He slowly grows more and more in the wrong direction.
  • Shelters are made, but as people give up, the shelters become worse.
  • They are starting got become more and more scared at the possibility of a beast.
Two events that I found interesting

  • I found it interesting when Simon went alone into the forest. Simon is very quiet and mysterious.
  • Jack seems like he has something to prove with catching a pig. I wonder if it goes deeper then that. I wonder what happened in his past.
One question that I have for one of the characters

  • I would like to ask Simon why he is so quiet and mysterious. What is really going on?
My Journal Entry for Chapter 4:
Three details of the story
  • The hunters finally catch a pig. They want to catch more.
  • We learn about the mirages on the island that happen in the middle of the day. This adds more of a sense of mystery to the island.
  • The boys lose a chance at being rescued because Jack lets the fire burn out.
Two events that I found interesting

  • After Ralph smacked off Piggy's glasses, Simon was the one who picked them up. This adds to Simon's mysteriousness.
  • While the boys were eating pork by the fire, Simon gave his piece to Piggy. Simon was again the only one showing kindness to Piggy.
One question that I have for one of the characters

  • I want to ask Jack what makes him so mean. He seems like he has something to prove. He is mean to everyone, but especially Piggy. Why does he pick on Piggy?
