Ch. 2 - Lord of the Flies

The boys on the island attempted to start a fire on top of the mountain and use the smoke to signal for help. In result the forest started on fire and burned down the forest, but one man had known what was going to happen. Piggy. The group hadn't wanted to listen to what Piggy wanted to say about the situation. Piggy's idea was to make shelter and fires on the beach, but instead the forest burned down and the wood supply is low.

I feel for Piggy in this chapter because his input is clearly more valuable than anyone elses, yet he is not allowed to share his input. He now has to suffer from the result of the groups decision. I wonder why the group has not yet realized his intelligence. They will soon have to listen and value his opinions if they want to survive on this island.

  1. Beautiful thoughts. Truly inspiring. But where's the support? I feel like this would be a much better blog with quotes from the book to back up your thoughts.

  2. I'm kind of disappointed in this blog Brax. You have to summarize the whole chapter with all of the most important details that happened. Be sure to use quotes in your blog to help explain what is going on and provide exact information for the text itself. Don't forget to mention the plot also. After doing this, then go into your interpretation of the summary and book and what you think it all means. Also include details about diction and imagery and how these elements contribute to the meaning of the text. Be sure to include yourself in the blog too! Try to make personal connections and ask more questions that will make the readers of your blog think as well.
