Chapter 11: Castle Rock
Key quote
“Piggy sought in his mind for words to convey his passionate willingness to carry the conch against all odds.”
Questions
1.How does Ralph want them to present themselves when they go to ask Jack to return Piggy’s glasses?
2. Who never forgets their purpose in going to see Jack? Who needs to be reminded?
3.How has the face paint changed the boys in Jack’s tribe?
4.Describe what happens to Piggy. Be specific.
5.What do we assume happens to Samneric at the end of the chapter?
Quotes
1. Behind them on the grass the headless and paunched body of a sow lay where they had dropped it.
2. Samneric protested out of the heart of civilization, “Oh, I say! –honestly!”
3. “I just take the conch to say this. I can’t see no more and I got to get my glasses back. Awful things has been done on this island. I voted for you for chief. He’s the only one who ever got anything done. So now you speak, Ralph, and tell us what. Or else –”
Discussion Questions
1.Do you think Ralph’s a good leader or not? Why? What are his good qualities and what are his weaker ones? How do we see those in Chapter 11?
2. Why is Piggy’s death symbolic? What happens to the conch? What might that represent?
“3. Simon and Piggy can see that the boys are the true evil on the island, but because the boys cannot accept the truth, they kill these two truth-bearers.” Do you agree or not?
