Chapter 11 Questions

1. What does Ralph's group decide they must do?
Ralph's group decides to go to Jack's camp and call a meeting to talk everything out and get Piggy's specs.
2. In what ways are the twins "seeing Ralph for the first time" before going to Castle Rock?
In a new perspective of Ralph having fears and uncertainty. They're viewing this new side of Ralph than before when he was chief in the beginning.
3. Why is the boy's attempt to get back Piggy's specs and get the other boys to maintain a signal fire bound to fail?
First of all, the boys with Jack have turn to real savages who are now blinded to see any good. Also, Jack's boys outnumber Ralph, Samneric, and Piggy plus Piggy is almost fully blinded.
4. Why do you think Roger pushes the rock off the cliff?
His human qualities have been overtaken by his savagery instincts. I personally believe he is the insanest of all the boys and he is pure destruction.   
5. How is the destruction of the conch symbolically significant?
The fall of government control and rules. This turns the tables for Jack and his boys to be in power and Ralph to collapse.
6. For most of the boys, what are the reasons they want a chief? What does a chief do for them?
They want to be chief to be in control and do what they most want to do. A chief usually orders them to do things they don't want and are manipulated.
7. Come up with two ORIGINAL questions you would ask Jack if you could.
Why is it so important for you to be in control?
Do you ever miss home or your civilized life?
8. In a minimum of two solid paragraphs, write a diary entry on the state of the island and the boys at this point in the book.
The island is now a black paradise. Everything has changed for the worse. Everyday it gets scarier and scarier with problems consuming the boys. The island is not this pink orange sky anymore. Blood is being shed one by one on the sea and fades forever. Wood is growing sparse in order for the boys to survive. The island is now a black hole consuming every boy.
The boy have changed drastically since the beginning of the book. Their uncivilized characteristics have taken over each of them one way or another. Piggy, however, kept trying to hold on to last bits of sanity even until his death. Each boy now wants power and control instead being controlled like a puppet. Some of the boys accomplished to get rid of governmental control/rule. Every boy are corrupted by darkness except Ralph trying to stay alive.
