LOTF CH 11 Questions

1) Ralph's group decides they must approach Jack and the hunters and demand for the fire and Piggy's glasses to be returned to them

2) The twins are "seeing Ralph for the first time" again because of how Ralph is returning to be his old self again. Ralph  remembers that their goal is to have the fire lit so they can be rescued which symbolizes Ralph being civilized again as he was in the beginning

3) The boys attempt to get Piggy's specs and get the other boys to maintain the fire is bound to fail because the hunters don't listen to Ralph anymore. They only follow Jack's orders and Jack would be very hard to convince him to do the right thing since he has power now and surely does not want to give it up

4) I think Roger pushes the rock off the cliff to show his loyalty to the tribe and Jack. Since he was the one to break the conch, he will be rewarded by Jack and the tribe since that would be something Jack would want to be done

5) The destruction of the conch is symbolically significant because the conch was what established order on the island. Without it, they lose their last hopes at maintaining  a civilized group which means they won't have civilized thoughts such as lighting the fire to be able to be rescued 

6) For most of the boys, the reason they want a chief is to have someone decide for them so that they don't have to come up with something to do. It's much easier to just "follow the crowd" than to come up with your own ideas

7) What are you going to do once there is nothing else to hunt? 

     Do you think you and your group will ever be rescued?

8) The state of the island has completely changed from when the boys first got on the island. For starters, the boys caught most of the forest on fire from not being able to control it. Also, both the beach and Castle Rock look like people are living there. The beach is occupied by Ralph and his group. Castle Rock is occupied by Jack and the hunters. Not only that but the island is so beat up with the plain scar, Jack's raid, and Simon's hideout filled with pig parts.
      The boys at this point have had a lot tension between each other. The group is no longer one but separated. One group is all hunters with Jack included and the other group is Ralph and the "good guy". The boys no longer respect each other since murders have happened on the island. They actually despise each other now and express hatred towards each other when they see each other. For example, Roger throws the rocks at Piggy when Ralph and his group go to Castle Rock and kills him.
