Lord Of The Flies; Chapter 11 – Castle Rock

1. In the beginning of the chapter, what does Piggy tell Ralph to do with the conch?

Piggy tells Ralph to blow the conch and call a meeting.

2. What reason will Piggy give Jack for the return of his glasses?

He will tell Jack that he should give the glasses back because it is right.

3. What does Ralph declare their appearance will be when they approach Jack?

He says they will go without paint or anything.

4. Who challenges the boys on their approach to Castle Rock?

Jack with a few other hunters.

5. When Jack appears, what has he been doing?

Jack was hunting.

6. What does Ralph call Jack that provokes a fight?

Ralph calls Jack a thief.

7. What happens to Samneric after the fight?

Jack has them tied up and forces them to join his tribe.

8. What is Roger doing during Piggy’s plea for a return to decency?

Roger is dropping rocks from Castle Rock.

I think that it is Roger who killed Piggy truculently. It was all Roger dropping rocks while being delirious. I think all of the savages thought of the conch as a talisman, because it reminded them of their time with Ralph and they hated Ralph. So I guess Roger couldn’t help but aim for Piggy since Piggy was just standing around, and was easy to hit. The cessation of dropping rocks happened when Piggy was hit, and the conch blown up.
