Planning for English 9 vt. 2019



Chapter 11:  Castle Rock- Alma Friday 3rd May
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?









Chapter 12:  Cry of the Hunters- Ida Friday 3rd May
Key quote
“The tears began to flow and sobs shook him.”


Questions
1. What does Ralph do to the Lord of the Flies?
2.What are Samneric doing in this chapter?
3.What is the significance of Roger “sharpening a stick at both ends”?  What do Samneric say about him?
4.When Ralph is being hunted, he has 3 strategies.  What are they?  Which does he choose?
5.How are the boys rescued?  Why is this ironic?
6.What do all the boys do at the end?

Quotes:
1. Ralph launched himself like a cat; stabbed, snarling, with the spear, and the savage doubled up. 

2. On the beach behind him was a cutter, her bows hauled up and held by two ratings. In the stern-sheets another rating held a sub-machine gun. 

3. The tears began to flow and sobs shook him. He gave himself up to them now for the first time on the island; great, shuddering spasms of grief that seemed to wrench his whole body. His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too. And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.


Discussion Questions
1. How do the boys appear to the naval officer?  What does he ask them?  How do they act here at the end?
2. Do you think this part at the end about hunting Ralph is realistic?  Could that actually happen?  Does it matter if it could happen?  Does the theme still have relevance regardless?
3. How would this have been different if it were a group of girls?  What about if they had been older?  Would adults have done a better job of surviving?
didn’t stop you?
