Lord of the Flies
Chapter 11 - Castle Rock
"Blood on the Rocks"
Perspective: Me
- Piggy told Ralph to blow the conch, the talisman, as loud as he could. So as to tell the others order is still present.
- Piggy wanted for Jack to give him his glasses because that was what was right, and he was going to tell him right to his face.
- Ralph said they wouldn't be savages, no paint, but civilized and clean.
- Roger challenges the boys truculently, but they come forward anyways.
- When Ralph sees Jack he'd just come back from hunting.
- When there was a cessation in the violence, Ralph called Jack a thief, starting the fight again.
- After the fight, Samneric are tied up by the tribe, and told to join them.
- The whole time Roger is throwing stones down at people.
Jack is the one that caused Piggy's death, he started the savagery. After he fell to his death, Jack felt no remorse, he only mentioned the conch, and said that he'd done that on purpose planned the death of Piggy, maybe even was happy that it'd happened. Plus, Jack refused to ask for help, all he had to do was ask Ralph for fire and it would have gladly been given. Ralph said, "If you'd asked for fire I would have given it to you." Instead he stole Piggy's glasses, blinding him, and forcing him to march to Castle Rock a dangerous place for a healthy man. Jack was the one that came up with the rock that guarded the bridge, even though it was unnecessary. Jack was the one that told Roger to stand guard, even saying, "Why are you down here?" When Roger came down after Piggy's death and Ralph. What kind of leader would put a boy that likes to throw things in charge of a giant rolling stone? You'd know that he could easily become
delirious, and lose control. The role of watchman was unneeded before and especially after Piggy's death. In short, it's Jack's fault, he tried to be a leader just by bossing them around and not by thinking, he practically set up the board and all Roger needed to do was flip a switch.
