One night when they had the fire  on the mountain it got out of hand and burnt part of the island one of the boys died. Threw out the book jack got way to much into hunting to were he wasn't watching the fire when it was his turn to watch it which could have saved to the boys on the island because a ship went by but there was no fire. One of the boys named roger was the meanest on the island he would bully the smaller boys and throw rocks to hit and miss. After a while jack started becoming a savage painting his face cutting off the head of a pig and jabbing it on a stick he slowly started becoming uncivialized.

The next day Simon had been killed by the boys after that jack and his tribe  had gotten out of control started to steal Ralph's fire and Piggys glasses which got piggy mad so the two tribes fought and piggy died. They catch samneric and plan to kill Ralph next Ralph runs away tries to avoid them. Ralph hides in thick grass  so they smoke him put and burn the island and so a naval ship sees the burning island and finds the boys and saves them.

2)the theme of this book is survival. Survival is the team because that's what 

The boys need to do. And Ralph shows that when he avoids them when they try to kill him. And jack survival is the reseaon he hunts.

3) I didn't chose this book it was assigned to read in class and home. The book didn't seem really appealing to me a first but as I read it got intersting because it has to do with survival of the fittest. In the end I enjoyed reading the book.

4) yes I do find this book realistic because boys could be stuck on an island. Humans can turn against each other to survive harsh conditions. When I went camping my group and I had to hike a mile up a hill full thorn bushes that hurt really bad to get to our destination the conditions were harsh so we did what ever we could.

5)the authors tone is suspenseful he has people dieing. Hunting food trying to survive then hunting each other and the unexpected deaths.

6)internal conflict:"maybe he means it's some sort if ghost"(89)

7) characterization

"—meat—"142

"—To a feast—"142

"He's a hunter"143

"Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill the blood."69

2) the author diction changes when he talks about simon because he is more calm and mellow.

3) the protagonist in the story is both flat and static because as he tries to get off the island he becomes better at certain things.

4)after reading this book I do feel like I have gotten closer to some character and I can elate to them like piggy being bullied fat and needing glasses, or like jack getting into hunting, and simon being calm and mellow.

ENDURING PARAGRAPH

The part of the story o won't forget is when piggy dies that part of the book was so shocking and sad. Piggy was like the nicest and weakest on the island why he die. I won't forget the end of the story either because how they had lost hope of getting off the island but they manage to get of when you don't expect it like the way the officer saw them fighting burning the island.
