Chapter 5-6
Characterization: How is Ralph different than when he arrived on the island? Why has he called an assembly? In other words, what does he want to talk about? What does Jack say to the assembly? What dangerous idea does Simon come up with? What is Piggy’s take on the situation? What is the final straw in Jack and Ralph’s relationship? Why doesn’t Ralph want to blow the conch? What does this say about their new society? Explain what is happening to Ralph in this statement from Chapter 6, “A strange thing happened in Ralph’s head. Something flittered there in front of his mind like a bat’s wing, obscuring his idea.” < Please actually answer the questions that I asked instead of summarizing what happened in the chapter.
