Lord of the Flies
Chapter 11
"Castle Rock"
- At the beginning of this chapter Piggy tells Ralph to blow the conch and call an assembly. He also says that Ralph should give him the conch so that he can go talk to Jack with it.He thought it could be used as a talisman.
- Piggy said he was going to tell Jack that he needs his glasses to see. He know that Jacks stronger and smarter then him but whats right is right and he needs his glasses back.
- Ralph says their appearance should be clean like they were before. He said they ought to comb their hair and wash themselves.He didn't want to look truculently like Jacks tribe.
- Roger challenged the boys when they first got to castle rock.
- Jack had been out hunting before he appeared.
- Ralph calls Jack a thief and this is what starts the fight between them.
- After the fight Samneric are tied up by Jack tribe.
- Roger had been throwing stones and leaning on the lever at the time during Piggy's plea for cessation of their savage behavior.
- I believe that Roger is responsible for Piggy's death. Roger was the one who pushed the lever and made the rock fall on Piggy. He was not ordered by Jack at that moment to push the rock on to Piggy. He had only been ordered before to use the rocks to protect the fort from trespassers. It says in the text of the book that "Roger, with a sense of delirious abandonment, leaned all his weight on the lever." This clearly shows that it was Roger who is responsible for Piggy's death.
