Cry Of The Hunters Chapter 12

The End

Hello, my name is Ralph. As you know, a plane was shot down in the middle of the ocean. We found ourselves stranded on a deserted island with no adults. We were alone. We had know one to say it was all right and know advice. I had to be leader. This was the beginning, now two people are dead and I am forced to flee from was once my tribe. When I found out that Jack and his tribe were going to hunt and kill me the next morning, my immediate reaction was to hide. When I thought of places, the best place was to hide near Castle Rock so they would be the least suspicious. The day before, Samneric, (the twins that I was talking to) were tide up and were forced to join Jack's tribe. They were otherwise going to be beaten. Just in the middle of our conversation, someone started up the hill and I was forced to run away. Right before I left, Sam was nice enough to give me a piece of meat from the tribe. I was really hungry. I decided to hide in the creepers in the midst of Castle Rock. When I got settled in as far as I could go, I could hear the sound of Roger sharpening a steak. I knew it was going to be gruesome. Then, he sharpened the other side and I remembered the distended pigs head that was sitting and staring at me. it too as on a stake in the ground with both sides sharpened. I knew that this wasn't going to be a pleasant awakening.

I immediately woke up the next morning to the sound of rustling in the forest. The boys were hunting. But this time, it wasn't for a pig, it was for me. They were lined up in a cordon. Suddenly, I could hear the footsteps outside of my hiding place. I identified them to be Sameneric and Roger. He was yelling at them to tell him where I wad. I couldn't blame them for telling. They were going to be beaten otherwise and it would be hard to find me in all of the greens. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a giant object rolling through the canopy. they were using giant rocks and pretty much flattening the pants out. i was being as quiet as possible any noises and Jack was sure to get me. At first, it was looking good, The boulders were completely off and there were getting less and less. Then, a spear popped through the plants and almost got me I was force to jab back and the boy shrieked with pain. Later, I heard the crackling and the smoke from how they wee planning on getting me out. They set the island on fire.
The chasing went on forever. I was forced to trample a littlun and I was backed into a corner before I could finally flee to the beach. The smoke filled he air and visibility was practically impossible. I finally stumbled onto the warm and soft sand and to all endless astonishment, i could see a ship beyond i the horizon and I was standing in front of a highly suited naval officer with epaulettes. I was so surprised that I couldn't even remember my won name. He asked who was responsible for the group of kids on the island and I said that I was. Jack didn't say a word he sat back and let me take the blame. The naval officer was horrified at the events that occurred he said that we should have behaved like the Englishmen that we were and not  lunatic savages like Jack and his tribe. Everything caught up to me so fast that I broke out into tears. It was finally over.

Piggy wanted to go and get his glasses back with reason and order. He wanted to just reason with Jack by asking him nicely and being civil. 

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

Ralph wanted to look nice when he went to approach Jack. While Samneric wanted to paint their faces and bring spears and take it by force with the truculently like Jack, Ralph wanted to be civil and kind.

9. Write a STRONG PARAGRAPH about who is responsible for Piggy’s death and why.

In the end of chapter 11, piggy is crushed by a falling boulder and gets pushed out to see. The only person that I can personally blame is the person that physically pushed the boulder which is Roger. Although he was batty and delirious, it was still a horrible and evil thin to do. The sight and description given by Golding was a truly great loss for the now 1 man army of Ralph. In one single push of this boulder, the island loss one of the last existing talisman on the island.

Simon's Perspective on his Death

Hello my name is Simon. Recently I was murded by the savage boys on the island that we were stranded on. Before my death, I was sent off to go and tell Piggy that we were going to the fire however I got lost and I was wandering without any sense of direction. I went up the mountain to see if the boys were by the fire and suddenly I saw a dead man  hanging from his parachute in a tree. It suddenly hit me that this was what they thought was the beastie. I headed straight for the fire that I saw in the distance. Brushes of forest scraped against my leg and I finally stumbled out into the open I panted and yelled about the pilot. They ran towards me and the rest went black.

Suddenly I was looking down at the boys destroying me and I finally saw the truth about the boys on the island. I saw the horrors of evil and human nature. I went over to the huts where Ralph and Piggy lay horrified. these two were the only ones that didn't join in. They were the only civilized people on this island. When I went closer I could hear the talk of the two boys. Ralph still, like me, had not processed the savagery that just took place. Piggy was too busy thinking of what to say to the adults.  I couldn't blame him though. They had nothing to do with the things that happened on the island they were just there as I was.

Jack's tribe is the main start of this whole mess. He is the leader of the hunter's and doesn't understand that they need to be rescued. It seems that if he could have it his way, he would live there for the rest of his life alone and hunt pigs. The other boys for some reason follow him and do what he wishes. Their idea was that I was the beastie in disguise. He keeps saying that he is done playing games but he isn't living in the real world if all he cares about is killing and and stealing. I am not sure what to say about my death. It was a dark night with lightning and thunder and I guess Piggy was right when he said I was a bit batty. I over heard him talking to his tribe when they were eating and he was going over his rules with the boys. His three main rules are 1: don't bother the beastie. 2: Always leave the head of the pig for the beastie as a kind offering (that explains the one that talked to me). 3: Castle rock must always be guarded. He is paranoid of Ralph trying to sneak in.

After I listened to Ralph and Piggy, I went over to Castle Rock and I over heard Jack's plans about the fire. He wanted to go get fire from the Ralph and his tribe. They went when it was dark and they were asleep. Instead of taking the fire as a torch, the pinched Piggy's glasses and ran off in the dark leaving the boys russeling around confused. There is not very much hope for the island in the sun.

Chapter 8-9

Chapter 8

Gift for the Darkness

Simon's Talk With the Lord of the Flies

         At the end of chapter seven, Simon is sent out into the forest to tell Piggy that they are going up to check the fire. He never finds Piggy. He stumbles through the forest and encounters the “Lord of the Flies”. His imagination explains the boy's situation on the island to him through the dead pig's head. The pig tells him that the beastie will never be killed. It says that the beastie is inside all of them. What it meant by them was that it is the fear and anger inside of them. The beastie on one hand brings them together with the hunting but at the same time tears them apart with the fear. The beastie represents the books subject bout the battle between good versus evil. This event was the weirdest out of all of them because Simon goes back to the real world in the middle of everyone's savagery. Also, the pig tells him that there is no hope and that he will get him with Jack, Roger and the rest of them. The pig head foreshadows Simon's death and that is what freaks me out the most.

Chapter 9

View to a Death

        View to a Death is a very strange and shocking chapter that really changed the story. In this chapter, Simon is mistaken for the beastie and murdered on the beach by the boys. The one thing that I can't do is blame a certain person for his murder. I can blame human nature (evil). Some evidence that I have is throughout the book, you can see Jack's stride for power come out in his actions. Now, with his new tribe he has most power and is very close to overruling Ralph as leader. I blame evil because it is in everyone. Like the Lord of the flies said, the beastie is in all of them and it will never be killed. He was also killed with fear. Like Piggy said on page 156, they were scared. It was dark, the lighting and thunder struck above them and the rain poured down hard. There isn't that much to say. These support my claim because like I said, pressure builds up all over the island. This was the result of that pressure which was a very shocking event. Overall, this story takes to drastic matters. There is no one to blame directly other than evil in general. Simon's stride for power and human nature lead to this tragic event.

Shadows And Tall Trees

The Hunt of The Beast
Ralph’s Perspective
1. What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.
After I threw the spear into the pig and made it run off, we acted out hunting a real pig in the moors. Robert got on the floor and acted like the squealing noises while everyone chanted, “ Kill the big, slit his throat, Kill the pig Bash him in!” They do that after every hunt and that makes them excited and eager. We shouted with energy and imperviously got louder and louder. We pretended to throw imaginary spears at Robert and act out hunting. I do have to admit that it was pretty exhilarating.
2. Jack suggests, “You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act, you know, pretend to knock me over and all that.” Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?
Jack says that they could use a littlun as the pig. This shows that he doesn’t care about the littluns’ well being as much as I do. Before the hunt, I said that we should leave someone with them so that they were safe. Jack said that we need all the help we can get if the beast is as big as Samneric said it was. I said that it might come to the beach and get them but all he said bravado was “sucks to the littluns.” I think that something is going to happen with the littluns later and that I will be in charge of helping them.
3. What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)
In the middle of the night, Samneric came running down the mountain and woke me up. They were in charge of keeping the fire going and I was kind of mad that they left it. Then, they told me that the beastie had chased them down the hill. I set a meeting even if they were windy to allow us to discuss what to do. They were pretty gullible because it was dark and they were pretty much alone. It was probably a very dun sight.
4. What did you daydream about home?
The one thing that I really miss about home is the ability to bath and take care of my hygiene. I wish that I could have those little things that I unsagely used to take for granted back and be able to feel clean again.

Beast From The Air

More about the Beast
Ralph’s Perspective

In Chapter 5, Ralph cries, “If only they could get a message to us…if only they could send us something grown up….a sign or something,” (Golding, 83).
• What sign comes down from the grown up world?
The sign that comes down from the grown up world in my opinion is the beasty. It shows an enemy that is greater than each other. It says that we need to be brought together in times when things are tough and work as a team. The monster will help us understand each other.
• Why aren’t the boys aware of it?
We don’t exactly notice it because it is very subtle. We had the same idea but we didn’t have to agree with each other we did it on instinct. The only one who actually disagreed was Ralph, but we still over powered him. He was embroiled our troubles and now we are hunting.
• Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?
Sam and Eric if you ask me are pretty big babies. There is nothing to be afraid of the beasty. I want to just want to end this fear and live happily on the island. The fear keeps going on interminable.
• How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?
We have been looking for a huge monster with wings and claws. Apparently it’s not very fast because it couldn’t catch up to Sam and Eric and it didn’t leave foot prints. All I want to do is het it and kill it. We went out on a hunt to find it and I am surprised that Ralph agreed with me but I wish he saw it more how I saw it. We went to the pile of rocks in the back of the island and we were sure that it was the place. However, when we went in, all we saw was rocks covered with guano and a good fort. I wish we could have kept it but Ralph was furious and mutinously, we let him be the leader.
• What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
When we went to hunt the beast, I guess we went waxy, but also with and urge to go do something important. We wanted to end the crying at night of the littluns.

Why do you really not care about being rescued?
It’s not that I don’t want to be rescued It’s just I’d rather live my life on this island to the fullest and I highly doubt that we will be rescued. This is the life, hunting pigs, playing at the beach, eating, and sleeping; what more could you want?

Beast From The Water

Simon’s Interview on Chapter Five

Why is an assembly called? What concerns are brought up? How do you feel about those concerns?
Today an assembly was called because of the ludicrous incident that happened early. Jack was out hunting and we were in the bathing pool and suddenly, we saw a ship. The first thing that we did was go running up the mountain to see if the fire was still going. If it was still on, then the ship would be able to see us. When we got up to it, we found out that the fire was out. Then we had to get Piggy’s glasses to start the fire however before we could get it to start, the ship was gone out of sight. Jack’s only job was to keep the fire going and he failed to do so. Ralph called the meaning because we missed one of our chances to be rescued all because Jack didn’t do his job but instead was distracted by hunting.
Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep? What was Percival Wemys Madison afraid of?
Sometimes, at night, I hear the littluns lamentation. They are probably missing their parents however I can’t help thinking it’s for a different reason. They cry at night because they’re afraid of the beasty. After we already explained that it’s not possible, Percival Wemys Madison said that he thought it was coming from the water. This had scared the littluns even more. And on top of all of this, he told us of his nightmare when he was surrounded by beasties outside of he hut and then when he woke up everything was gone however there was something in the bushes. We later found out that that was me.
What do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?
The dirtiest thing abut humans is their stride for power. Right now on the island, there is a rivalry between Jack and Ralph. In the begging, we voted on who would be our leader and Ralph one. But over the past events, the littluns are starting to like Jack more because he brings them meat and isn’t strict. He is very jeering towards Ralph. Horrible things are happening because of Jack’s stride for power of our group.
Explain the passage written about you: “Simon became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind’s essential illness. Inspiration came to him. What’s the dirtiest thing there is?”
In the midst of the discursive meeting, Ralph and Jack started to yell at each other and then every one joined in. I asked a question that made everyone think and I would like to explain more about it. I wanted them to think of why they were yelling in incantation. Suddenly, it all stopped and somehow, Jack ended up walking away with a group of littluns and hunters.
What are you suggesting about human nature when you ask that question?
When I ask that question, I am making them think of where 6they are going with the fighting. Soon enough, they will be a bunch of wild animals killing and eating. As long as you know the problem of something and stick to it, you can fix the problem.
In the end, Jack walked away with his group. Piggy’s suggested that Ralph should blow the conch to get them to come back. He hesitated however, he ended up letting them go to think about them.
