Chapter+9+&+10

= __//**Chapter 9 & 10- A View to Death, The Shell and the Glasses**//__ =
 * 1) I believe that the climax of the story is when the groups split up. In the scene, Jack pretty much is tired of Ralph and decides to go on and do his own thing. More people start following Jack, which causes difficulty for Ralph and his few followers. It is going to affect food, shelter, fire, and everything on the island now that everyone is split up instead of working together.
 * 2) Simon's death is somewhat ironic because Simon has always been the weird character, nobody really listened to him. Now, that the boys killed him- it makes it even more obvious of how oblivious they were to him. His death might symbolize that the people on the island are starting to get out of control: killing their own people.
 * 3) The chapters title might mean that everyone had the view to Simon's death, and that they just watched him die without doing anything whatsoever to let him explain that he wasn't the beast.
 * 4) Piggy is more worried about Simon than Ralph. Piggy is usually the one to worry and stress about things more than Ralph ever would.
 * 5) Piggy said that Simon 'asked for' his own death. I think that Piggy meant that eventually Simon would die considering that he contributed basically nothing to help on the island. I don't however agree with Piggy because I think that Simon was trying his hardest just to survive, and if Simon asked for his own death- he would have been gone a while ago.
 * 6) Ralph is starting to be shown as a more mean and fierce character. He is starting to be more harsh as well. Ralph's personality and mood tends to change often.
 * 7) The transfer of power between people is very strong. Jack is becoming a lot more powerful than Ralph. Jack just stole Piggy's specs like it was nothing- but left the conch. The conch doesn't matter to Jack, since people are now following and listening to Jack without the conch. Jack is a very intimidating character.
