Three details of the story
- All of the boys but Piggy, Ralph, and Simon join Jack's feast. Jack has a fire going and plenty of meat. Piggy and Ralph go to find the boys and see what is going on. They see Jack with a mask, sitting there like an idol.
- After everyone has eaten their fair share, Jack makes them decide. Do they want to be with Jack or with Ralph? They are interrupted by a thunderstorm where they start to chant their familiar chant. Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!
- A beast comes into their chanting circle. Without a second thought, they attack it like animals, and kill it. That beast was Simon.
Two events that I found interesting
- Simon was trying to tell the boys about this man that was hurt. The boys were so caught up in the moment that they did not even listen or recognize that it was Simon.
- Before all of this happened, Piggy knew that it would not end well. he warned Ralph, but Ralph did not listen.
One question that I have for one of the characters
- Ralph even seems like he is starting to slip to the wild side. I would like to ask Piggy what is wrong with Ralph. Do you think that you can turn the wild boys back into civilized people?
My Journal Entry for Chapter 10:
Three details of the story
Three details of the story
- Ralph is realizing what has just happened. Simon is dead... because of them. They murdered him. Piggy is trying to convince Ralph that they had no part in it.
- Ralph starts to forget their main purpose: being rescued. He is forgetting the civil things in life. He forgets the purpose of the fire.
- Jack and some of his hunters attack Ralph, Piggy, Eric, and Sam. They get into a fight in the night and suffer from many wounds. Jack also mangoes to steal Piggy's glasses. Now Ralph has no way to start a fire.
Two events that I found interesting
- Ralph dreams about going home and how things used to be, but those dreams turn into nightmares. He has forgotten what home is really like.
- Jack's hunters now protect their fort, and they do not let anyone in. They are almost completely shunning out all civilized people. They are even starting to torture people.
- By the end of this chapter, Ralph has few members, and no fire. I want to ask him how he expects to survive.
