Questions - Lord of the Flies – 2/4 Kirsch
1) Do you think name littluns is a
suitable tittle for the younger boys?
Yes I do because they are smaller than the rest of the boys in the group.
2) Do you believe that the hunters are
becoming obsessed with killing pigs? Will this lead to dangerous events in the
future?
The hunters are becoming obsessed with hunting and killing the pigs. The
frays “kill the pig. Cut her throat.
Spill her blood,” is great example of how obsessed the hunters are
becoming. I think this obsession will lead to
dangerous events in the future.
3) Is Jack’s knife a symbol? If so, what
does it represent?
It is a symbol. It represents death.
4) Explain what the dancer around the
fire means in chapter 4?
It represents the boy’s new way of life, that they are becoming more
barbaric. They are moving away from the
organization of Ralph.
5) Is the beast real?
No it is not, the beast is all in the boy’s heads. The boys are imagining
things because they are scared.
6) Would you be stressed out if you were
in Ralph’s position, from the lack of organization?
Yes I would be because I get stressed out very easily. Also the boys are
trying to survive and some boys are not ding there job properly and disobeying
me.
7) Do you think jack would be a suitable
replacement for ralph as chief?
No I do not because Jack lacks the skills needed to be a leader and to
survive.
8) Why do all the older boys decide to
go on the trip to the caves in chapter six?
The older boys are scared of the beast and don’t want to be left behind
with the littluns. They would be venerable for the beast to take them.
9) Do you think, when Jack joins Ralph
in the cave to look for the beast they again feel the comradeship they once had
between each other?
Yes they do fell the comradeship again. The situation reminds them of
their first trip together to the top of the mountain the chapter 2.
10) Does the castle rock represent an ideal home
for barbarians?
Yes it does because the castle rock is close to a forest and it has boulders
to push down on the enemy.
Like I said in the discussion,my personal opinion on the knife is that its a sign of power, in the future it may represent death, but for now we can assume a bit of both sides.
ReplyDeleteI agree with pretty much all the answers to the questions here. For #2 all the hunters seam to care about is killing the pigs. for #6 i would be really stressed because no one cares about nothing anymore but having “fun” by killing the pigs especially. Everything will go downhill if Jack is chief.
