Part 1: Post a one paragraph reaction to the chapter. Then, post three questions you had while reading.
Part 2: Go back and comment twice on two other posts. One of these comments MUST answer a question. The other comment can either respond to a reaction or answer another question.
Giorgio S. asked a very interesting question at the end of class today. I am not sure everyone heard it, either. Maybe it will help spur some thinking, too. He asked: Why is Simon able to talk to the Lord of the Flies and Piggy is not?
ReplyDeleteChapter 9 of Lord of the flies is one of the most interesting chapters. In this chapter we can see how the leader's power changes from Ralph to Jack, also we can see an unclear description of the Beast such as "bright creature"or "silver shape that beneath the steadfast constellation". In conclusion this chapter is very important to understand better the exterior conflict and the beast's structure.
ReplyDelete1. What brings Jack to be the leader?
2. What will bring the exterior conflicts between Ralph and Jack?
3. What happened to Simon, so, why at the end of the chapter says "Simon's dead body?
1. In chapter 9 an unanticipated even happens. Simon finds out that the so-called “Beast” is a dead body of the aviator and he wants to tell the others. While Jack and the boys are having party ，the weather suddenly starts changing. The sky darks as the storm approaching. Simon is running to the boys but due to the darkness the boys are screaming because they think it’s the beast. At the end, Simon is bet to dead by everyone includes Ralph.
ReplyDelete1.Is Jack going to fight with Ralph?
2.Does Piggy want to join Jack's group?
3.How stong will Simon's death affect the boys?
Chapter 9 is very important, maybe one of the most important chapters of the novel, because it's when jack begins to get more popular that ralph and finally he is cosidered the new leader by the boys...
ReplyDelete1. Why did the boys after voting Ralph now chose Jack as the new leader?
2.Will Jack and Ralph compete for the "throne" again?
3.Where did Simon go? What happened to him?
Part 2:
ReplyDeleteAnswer to Aini L question 1:
I suppose that although the high rivalry between Jack and Ralph, the two kids wont fight physically
but maybe or better, certainly they would have a fight with words or a hard conflict.
Answer to Giorgio S. question 3.
I am not so sure, but on what I have read and understood, Simon died since in the book it says "Simon's dead body". It could be true what the kid say but they could be also wrong, maybe he looked like being dead but he was only asleep. For the moment I believe he is dead. We would have a better idea reading the next chapters!
1.Why Simon is able to talk to the Lord of the Flies and Piggy is not?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, although Piggy is smart but deep in his heart, he wants to be the one leading others. However, Simon is different, he is a fair-minded character, likes to be alone or with Ralph rather than playing with the boys and also he dares to find out the truth.
2. What happened to Simon, so, why at the end of the chapter says "Simon's dead body?
At the end of the chapter says "Simon's dead body” because Simon is bet to dead by everyone includes Ralph because they thought he is the beast.
Good ideas everyone. I am happy to see some of your referring to the text. For those of you who have not posted or will be posting again, consider discussing what has happened with Simon more. It seems as though everyone has a question regarding what happened to him. Also, Giorgio S., remember how we discussed sacrifice and death as a necessary part of a Christ figure? Does Simon now fit that bill?
ReplyDeleteHere are a few grammatical tips. Make sure you are all looking at these because it will help your writing, too.
Aini,
You wrote: "At the end, Simon is bet to dead by everyone includes Ralph." The past participle of "beat" is "beaten." Rewrite this sentence like this: "At the end, Simon is beaten to death by everyone including Ralph."
You wrote: "Why Simon is able to talk to the Lord of the Flies and Piggy is not?" When asking a question, invert your sentence. Rewrite like this: "Why is Simon able to talk to the Lord of the Flies and Piggy is not?"
Federico,
You wrote: "I suppose that although the high rivalry between Jack and Ralph, the two kids wont fight physically." Rewrite like this: "I suppose that although THERE IS a high rivalry between Jack and Ralph, the two kids won't fight physically."
Keep up the good work!
