Runner chapter 7

Amir's actions were really surprising when seeing his best friend beaten and raped in front of him. Amir was cowardly and selfish when Baba congratulates Amir for winning. However I don't understand why Amir never did anything. Not a good friend.

The kite runner chapter 7

How do you think the rape will affect the relationship between Hassan and Amir's father? Will his father continue " favoring "Hassan?

kite runner 3

why would aseef want to rape hassan? what does he gain? is he homosexual? this was just weird

The kite runner chapter 7

1. Do you think that Amir and Hassan will divide if Hassan finds out that Amir witnessed the whole rape and didn't step in to do something?

2. Will the rape of Hassan get Amir more attention from his father? 

The kite runner 1-34

The book is talking about how he and his dad are not that close.  And baba and Hassan r very close

KiteRunner ch.7 discussion question

How did you feel when Amir cow added away from helping Hassan? Do you believe that there are two sides to Amir?

The Kite Runner 4

I think Hassan secretly knows Amir saw him in the alley way. So when Amir throws the pomegranates at Hassan, he doesn't want to throw them back to give him more guilt. 

The Kite Runner Part 4

1. What is up with the pomegranates and Amir?

2. I wonder if Hassan knows that Amir saw him get raped?

The kite runner

I think the only reason y Amir was hitting Hassan with the fruit was because he felt guilty for not telling anyone wat happend to Hassan. Y didn't Amir tell any one. 

Chpter 8

Hassan is being quite because of the hole incident that happend he just sleeps and does his chores. I wanna no why he won't talk and ask for help ? Why is he just staying quite?

the kite runner part 3

What really bothered me was that Amir witnessed the entire rape and didn't step in to do anything. It goes to show how little he cares about Hassan. I feel like as time goes on, Hassan will find out that Amir watched and didn't intervene. 

The kite runner 35-58

This part of the novel was sort of annoying. I was disgusted with Assef and his character and how he was a bully. I feel like Amir is just getting jealous of Hassan  because Baba cares about both of them. It was really nice that Baba got Hassan  a plastic surgeon to fix his lip. I want to know more about the kite flying tournements and what the significance is with the book and if it had anything to do with the title? But Hassan is the best kite runner in Kabul, does that mean anything ? 

Kite runner pt 2

The gunfire feels like it's a foreshadowing between Amir and Hassan's friendship. Though Hassan  seems to be a loyal friend who wishes to protect Amir. I agree with the comment that says that someone might die because with increasing tension in society and with assef as a threat things lead to alot of foreshadowing

the kite runner 2

The book is beginning to get interesting with the coup and other events happening here. I am glad I live in america

The kite runner 1-34

While reading the first part of this book I was confused with what was going on since it is set in a different country and the cultural aspect of the book. I don't like the way Baba is treating his son, I think that he should have a little more respect for his son and give him some attention. I hope that their relationship gets better as the book goes on since their may be a war approaching. 

The Kite Runner Section 2

Through all the violence in this section I'm wondering whether or not any main characters will die?

The kite runner post 2

This chapter showed a great use of tone. It made the reader fear for the lives of Amir and his friend when the gunfire started

The Kite Runner section 1

While reading this first part I was left asking a lot of questions. Like when Amir says "that's when Afghanistan changed forever.

TKR Part 4

I wonder how Assef will be able to manipulate Amir as the story goes on. The Hitler reference keeps popping up, and I feel like at one point the government downfall will become a huge part in the story, and the Hitler reference will begin to take off more. Amir is feeling guilty, so he is trying to assert dominance over Hassan, who must still follow because of the hierarchy but is becoming less tolerant of Amir's nonsense.

TKR part 3

I don't really know how I feel about this chapter. It was kind of rough, but I know that it will come into play later in the story. Hassan will probably find out that Amir witnessed his rape at one point, and that will cause a huge divide between the boys. I feel Amir is struggling more with the divide between the hierarchy.

Kite runner

Wats with that scene with how Amir didn't come to help Hassan when he was being rapped. 

I think that amir should of stepped up for his boy and whooped them dudes for tryin rape him. I think haasaan has a right to be mad at amir. 

The Kite Runner 3

It's good that Amir won the kite competition. The fact that Amir watched Hassan raped was horrible & he almost said something, but he didn't. & then Hassan wouldn't talk to anyone & would just do his chores & leaves. 

Kite runner part 3

This book is getting more intresting because the part were the boys jump Hassan one feels the need to put it in his but and rape him. I don't understand why Amir didn't help him. I also don't no why Hassan won't tell anyone or ask for help

KiteRunner pgs 35-58

Not only does the book say that Assef was dripping with disgust towards Amira but I'm disgusted by Assef. Someone so ignorant that they believe that someone that's different should be ridden of disgusts me and makes me angry. That is not right by any means and I hope karma gets him for the terrible way he thinks.
On the bright side I absolutely loved the description of winter and why it was the favorite season in Kabul. It made me happy to read that there was something that both Baba and Amir had is common.

KiteRunner pgs1-35

I think that the way that Baba treats Amir isn't right. I understand that he isn't interested in the same things as Baba is but Amir is still his son. He should atleast show him some respect rather than completely ignoring him. Especially when Amir said that he had cancer just to see what Baba would say and all Baba did was said to go get some soda. I hope their relationship gets somewhat better throughout the book.

TKR Part 2

You see some character development in Amir through his thoughts of Hassan being a Hazar, I feel like this speaks about how society and influence an individual personally. Amir likes Hassan as a person but because he's a Hazar he thinks unfriendly thoughts because of society's views. 

Kite Runner Pt 1

I really like the way the story is written so far being in the present tense. I also like that the past is incorporated because it allows the reader to compare the present time and the past time, it really makes you think about the obscene issues going on now and then. 

Kite Runner Pt 1

I really like the way the story is written so far being in the present tense. I also like that the past is incorporated because it allows the reader to compare the present time and the past time, it really makes you think about the obscene issues going on now and then. 

kite runner 3

this section was a little messed up, what must it be like to watch your friend get brutally raped?! id feel so terrible and kind of responsible DREW TOURTILLOTTE IS A SEXY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Kite Runner 3

I couldnt imagine what Amir must be going through after such a traumatic experience. This book is pretty dark at times.

Kite Runner part 2

I think Amir is starting to show he's relationship with Hassan better. But I also feel that he is almost embarrassed to be his friend because he's a servent. 

I think that amir should if stood up fir his homie haasaan when the kids were bullying him. He did his boy dirty

part 2

this book is accurate on the culture. there is a lot of war imagery which makes me believe that a war may break out. Amir seems to be very jealous of Hassan 

Kite Runner part 2

Once again there was a lot of foreshadowing in these pages. There was a lot of war imagery which makes me think a war is going to break out soon. You cam tell that Amir is a very jealous person in these pages. He always wants to be better than hassan

The Kite Runner Part 3

At this point, Assef has just asserted his dominance over Hassan. There is nothing worse or more humiliating than what happened. After the scene, I hate Amir. He just watched his friend get raped and didn't defend him or anything. He let it happen and than lied through his teeth when he asked him where he was. Hassan has never done anything wrong to Amir and that's how he plays him back . 

The Kite Runner Part 3

Im confused on what happened to Hassan with Assef. It reminds me of the disgusting scenes with Lord of the Flies and killing the pig. Is that what they did to Hassan?

Chapter 7

I think Amir shouldn't have been a coward and should have helped Hassan. He must care about him in some way if he freaked out about what was happening so much. Also Amir felt as if his dad truly cared and was not disappointed in him.

The Kite Runner Ch. 7

I never came across a main character I despised more than Amir. I know he wanted the kite to gain his father's approval, but the way he just did nothing while his life-long friend was being violated was infuriating. 

The character complexity in this book is fascinating. Amir is portrayed as selfish, while Hassan, his servant, is generous and loyal. It seems the author is exposing the characteristics of different classes in society.

The Kite Runner- Chapter 8

I am happy that Amir is feeling an immense sense of guilt. He deserves it, and I am also happy his relationship with Baba has returned back to normal because he doesn't deserve happiness for watching Hassan while he suffered. I understand Amir doesn't want to see Hassan anymore. But in reality it should be opposite, also when Hassan cracked a pomegranate open on his head, I was confused on the significance of this particular scence. 

The Kite Runner Chapter 7

Because of Amir's desire for his father's approval he watches his friend get raped. All over a kite when in reality he won even if he didn't have the blue kite in his possession. I am disappointed in Amir, and I wonder if Hassan saw him standing there watching. The boy's helping Aseef were unsure if they wanted to help, so I am guessing they went through with it because they were afarid of Aseef like Amir was. But Amir is guilty, but he makes excuses for not helping his friend. 

The Kite Runner chapter 7

I don't understand how anyone could ever do what they did to Hassan. I just can't wrap my head around why they would even think to do that. Also, Baba finally shows Amir that he cares about him and that makes him feel good. He realizes that he actually cares, he just doesn't show it enough.

Kite runner 1-34

I think that this story is alittle more difficult to read than our previous books due to the history and cultural understanding of the story. It could have been helpful to have some sort of glossary or explanation to some words. Also it's alittle hard to keep track of names and relations to certain characters. Often I mix Ali's name and Amirs name. I agree with tyesha that Amir puts more effort into his relations with his father 

1-34 The Kite Runner

Even though Amir and Hassen come from different lifestyles they share a relationship like they were brothers. They may have sarcastic fights and make rude comments but they are more than invested in the friendship. Baba seems controlling at first with the whole trying to turn Amir into something hes not. I personally think that Amir wants that father son relationship with Baba, he puts in more than an amount of effort a kid should put into a relationship with their father. Hopefully Baba can realize his true talents and be supportive of Amir. Its also crazy how Amir thinks Baba hates him because of his mothers death. 

Kite runner 2

Why did hassans cleft "needed" to be fixed, it was a problem but he didnt seem to be too affected by the bullying. I wonder if this will have some kind of role in the overall theme of the story

The Kite Runner

It must have been pretty weird for Amir to see his father in such panic with all the events taking place in Afghanistan.

TKR part 2

I wonder why they felt it was so important to fix Hassan's lip. Yes, it was a source of his bullying but he seemed to deal with it fine. I feel like this will add to the insecurity Amir feels about his 'friend' being better than him. I always like when I can see the title of the story come into play, and I am happy it was relatively early in the story.

the kite runner part 2

It's starting to get annoying how Amir is always complaining that his dad doesn't care about him. Clearly his dad cares about him and Hassan. He treats Hassan as if he's his own son by giving him gifts like plastic surgery. Amir just comes off as the jealous type complaining how he isn't given enough attention. 

The kite runner

Wat was with all the fireing of the gun in the beginning of chapter five. I didn't understand that part at all.  Y do the boys fly kites.

Kite Runner part 2

I think it was nice that Baba got a surgeon for his lip. But it sad that Baba doesn't really give that attention to Amir. I also think it's wrong that Amir thought that Hassen was just a servent. I feel bad because he deserves that. 

The kite runner part 1

I did not find the first part too entertaining. The whole time I was curious to see what happened in the alley but it never came up. I hope the next part is more exciting

The Kite Runner Part 2

Im surprised that Baba got Hassan the present of a surgen! Thats pretty expensive and its not even his own son. If i were Amir i would be jealous. Why did Hassan stop smiling?

The Kite Runner 2

I liked the fact Hassan got to get his lip fixed. I was confused when Amir was saying that he thought Hassan was a servant. 

The Kite Runner Part 2

I thought that it was interesting how Baba had given Hassan the opportunity to get rid of his cleft lip. Also, when Amir and Hassan were getting bullied by the older kid, Amir thought that Hassan was just a servant and not a friend but he then changed his mind. They had spent almost their entire lives together, they hang out and play games everyday together, I am not sure why Amir wouldn't even consider themselves friends.

Chapter 5- page 58

Hassan got a big present from Baba and I think Amir Is jealous of Hassan's extensive present. These chapters tell you more about the title itself also. 

The Kite Runner Chapter 5- pg 58

In these chapters you learn more about the title the kite runner and exactly what the aspect has to do with the culture associated with the book. Hassan is a very interesting character and I am concerned to see what will happen to him because he is a Hazara. Amir continues to search for the approval from his role model Baba by deciding he shall win the Kite fighting tournament. But he blames himself for many events that he believes why Baba disapproves of him. Like stealing his mother's life. I am confused about the shooting. Did the government just gain new powers whi h caused for a small civil war??? 

The Kite Runner pg 35-58

I want to learn more about the kite tournaments and their significance in this book. Also, I really like Hassan's character and how honest and lighthearted he is. I wonder how he became so good at running kites.

Kite runner #1

That must be terrible for amir, having your own father not be supportive of you just because you dont like the same things as him would be hard on any kid. Its even more difficult for him because he constantly is battling the guilt he feels for "killing" his mother.

Kite Runner Day 1

I really like this book. I don't know what's pulling me in but it could be just the pure honesty in the way Amir writes. I really like Hassan's character. I wonder if he really would do anything for Amir. His selflessness is a trait you don't see very often. I feel kindof bad for Amir, he never feels good enough for his father and that really sucks. He must feel like a walking sin. I think his dad does love him, but its more out of responsibility towards him.

The Kite Runner chapter 5-58

I'm really confused because I don't know what a lot of these words are. Like words like "agha". Why did Hassan stop smiling after his surgery? Why did Hassan run a kite for the last time in 1975? Is something going to happen to him?

The Kite Runner

This book is better than lord of the flies. I feel like I can relate to Amir because I know what it's like to not have at meat one parent. It sucks to not have a good relationship with your parents.

TKR PT 1

Interesting start to the story. I enjoy the background given on these characters and can relate to the idea of not feeling enough for my dad. Can't wait to see how the story folds, the way that Amir thinks hes above Hassan kind of angers me, but I think its related to his inner feeling of non adequateness.

the kite runner

I do not fully understand what is going on

The Kite Runner part 1

The relationship between Baba and Amir is interesting. Amir feels like he killed and stole his mother from his father. He tries as hard as he can to mend the wounds with trying to play soccer but he father still disapproves. 

Kite runner

I was wondering why baba was talking about that every sin is theift even though that's not the only sin there is. So I don't understand that part

Kite runner 1-3

I wasn't sure what a cleft lip was exacctly, I didn't understand the marriage between Ali and sanabaur. And why was it fixed up?

The kite runner

This is a good book so far im just wondering if amir or whatever and his pops baba are ever going to connect with eachother and have that relationship the father wants. 

The Kite Runner part 1

I like the part of the book where the king murdered his wife so when he cries he gets richer. I didnt really understand that little story, but i thought it was interesting.. I would like to see how that ties into the novel further.

The kite runner

The story is intresting because a bond between father and son is usualy very strong but in this case the father and son have no bond because the son likes to read and write poems and the father is more of a tough guy and sports guy. The father gets along better with his sons friend who is also a servent to them and he is known as the best kite runner. I can't beleive that the father would say that he soesnt connect with his son to his friends.

Kite Runner 1-34

Amir's dad comes off as intimidating and seems as if he doesn't care about or appreciate his son at all. I feel like towards the middle of the book this will all change.

Kite Runner 1-34

I noticed in these chapters that Baba, is a highly authorative figure to his family as well as his community. Rhaim seems to act like Amir's father as Baba is ungrateful for his son. I can infere that Amir breaks off considering his inital goal is his father's approval but if that is unattainable then it forces him to leave and achieve his goals without his father's approval. The story seems interesting considering its culture and aphganistan dialect. The imagery, and figurative meaning is abundant throughout these chapters. It enhanced the reading. 

 

The Kite Runner 1-34

I like the figurative language in this book. I can easily relate to how Amir feels and picture his intimidating father because all of the descriptive language. 

The Kite Runner

I feel bad for Ali because he feels like his dad doesn't love him. His dad doesn't want anything to do with him. Hassan makes me feel bad for him too. He has to be the slave and he is partly Ali's friend. The only question I have is, why are Ali and Hassan so "close" to each other?

Lotf 6&7

Ralph and Simon carry a littun to sleep, and over night while they are sleeping, many military airplanes battle above them. Somehow they manage to sleep through this. Soon after a dead man parachutes down onto the island. Soon, they set out to look for monsters, as they truthfully start believing that there are monsters on the island with them. They then discover a cave on their quest to search for monsters, and find a cave. Ralph and jack are the only ones who explore it. Although they need eachother, they still have resentment towards eachother. Everyone else finds themself ignoring Ralph's orders and not taking him seriously anymore. After they eat some food, they truthfully find that they aren't going to leave. They lost faith in themselves and start resorting more into savagery. Jacks hunting obsession starts up again with they find pig droppings. They track a large boar; however they do not catch it again. They still believe that their are monsters, but little do they know the monsters are inside of them. Soon after, they become obsessed with the hunt, and the glory of killing for their tribe. They lose themselves.

LOTF 12

I am happy that the boys were saved before Ralph would have been killed himself. I did not like the ending at all. I don't like how they just ended it when the officer came. I think they should have added a part when they got home and then show the punishment that Jack deserves.. 

LOTF 12

I was completely unsatisfied with the ending of the novel. I felt like there was no closure with the boys on the island. They were randomly rescued in the middle of a man hunt. It gives no answers toward whether or not everyone made up, or if they remained friends. It could've been written better because it was ended very randomly.

LOTF 10 & 11

These two chapters show how the boys are losing complete sight over humanity and civilization. There is no more structure on the island and everyone is out of control. I feel like Piggy's death was based off of Jack's attitude. He demands everyone worship him and follow him as their leader. Ralph and Piggy decided to stay off on their own which ultimately ended in Piggy's death.

LOTF 10&11

Now that piggy is dead, you are certain that there is no civilization what so ever. Piggy was such a good character. He was like a back bone to Ralph, to always keep the goal in mind. Everything is lost now. It's only Ralph, and they are going to hunt him next. It's crazy to think these are only little boys doing all this savagry. 

LOTF 8&9

Killing Simon was so unacceptable. There is no excuse for it, they had to have seen him, I don't understand. Now that Simon is dead,everything is going down and now there is no kind of civilization what so ever. Jack is out of control and I'm wondering what he is going to done next. 

LOTF 8&9

I feel like Simon was a very symbolic character throughout the reading. He represented hope and security and acted as a guide to safety. His death was very sad and it symbolized the darkness that is about to come over the island.

LOTF 6&7

As the chapters continue, it's obvious that Ralph is slowly losing his power among the boys. They're starting to rebel more and ignore his rules. The boys will probably ignore him all together and start to follow someone else, probably Jack.

LOTF 6&7

Ralph is starting to loose his power when more and more boys begin to follow Jack. It isn't fair though because tye are advoiding the main goal that needs to be done and that is being rescued. I feel that Jack is afraid of the beast but won't admit it aswell. Piggy is still arguing the point of getting rescued as well. And it shows that he is being true to Ralph and I have a Feeling that thy may be the only ones. 

LOTF 4&5

Ralph was the only person who really cared about seeing the ship over the horizon. It is obvious that he was aggravated that the boys made no effort to keep the fire going. Their chances of getting off the island were ruined by the boys not following the rules. I feel like this will foreshadow many other events where the boys will come into contact with safety and rescue.  

LOTF 4 & 5

The boys definitely don't know how to handle the little boys, because they get mad that they are playing around, when they are little kids and that's what they do. When Jack hits Piggy that's another sign of civilization breaking into savagry. Once Jack runs away, others begin to follow to start hunting.

LOTF 2&3

A lot of differences are beginning to show between Ralph and Jack. It seems like Jack is jealous of Ralph because he was chosen to be the leader. This will probably foreshadow Jack rebelling in a way against Ralph. I feel bad for Piggy because he's getting left out of a lot of activities the choir boys are doing to survive on the island. he wants to be a part of what they're doing, but they ignore his efforts.

LOTF 2&3

Jack and Ralph are starting to slowly but heads. The choir of boys show more interest in sticking with Jack, since he is in the choir as well. I feel bad for Piggy because he wants to help out but no one will let him, and I don't think it's very fair. I have a feeling Piggy will rebel in some sort of way. 

LOTF 1

I feel like the boys made a good decision choosing Ralph as the leader. I can see him making a lot of good choices with the group on the island. He seems like the type of person who would do as much as he can to try and get rescued.

LOTF 1

They made the right choice in making Ralph the leader, but I could tell the Piggy wanted to be leader by hesitating. Ralph seems like he knows what to do in order to did rescue.

LOTF 12

After piggy passed, Ralph is now completely alone in this chapter. All of the boys have turned on him. At this point the conch and piggy have been destroyed which means there is no order left in the boys "society" on the island. The savages chase Ralph through the island until he reaches the beach. Here they are finally rescued by a naval officer. 

Overall, I enjoyed the story. It amazes me how quickly people can turn on the only people they have. Losing sight of the order and civilization you used to be apart of  leads to nothing but disaster as clearly shown in this novel.

LOTF 10&11

Throughout these two chapters the boys completely split up between who they believed was a better leader; jack or ralph. 

It wAs very sad when piggy was killed. I have always felt sorry for him throughout the Novel. He was probably the smartest one on the island and no one ever appreciated it him. 

Also, These chapters show how the boys have completely lost sight of order and civilization. It's sad how quickly they've turned on the only people they have on the island. It's also sad that these young boys can turn into such monsters when they lose sight of their old morals 

LOTF 8&9

I was really happy when none of the boys decided to impeach Ralph as a leader for jack. Jack does not deserve the leadership, all he cares about is hunting and not only for the food at this point. Ralph actually cares about getting off the island and being rescued. 

Piggy came up with the great idea of building the signal fire at beach instead of the mountain. After so many great ideas he comes up with to benefit everyone they still are unappreciative of him and look down on him. 

I wasn't too surprised when they killed simon. It was very disturbing for them to do so but at this point there is no order or civilization left in the boys. They felt no remorse afterwards which is even more disturbing. 

LOTF 6&7

At this point in the story I've grown to really dislike jack. Piggy being responsible as always, asks who is going to look after the little ones while they hunt the beast. Jack responds immaturely, "sucks for the little ones." I still feel really bad that no one appreciates piggy for his great ideas to help the boys. 

Chapter 7 portrays how little order and civilization is left in the boys. I couldn't believe that they would torture Robert like he was just another pig they were hunting. 

LOTF 8&9

Jack is just an ahole at this point. I'm glad that he chose to walk away from the group because nobody wanted to take Ralph's position away from him. I took Ralph's side of the idea of the fire because it could help them be rescued. I hated when I found out Simon was killed. I believe that the reason he was killed was because nobody is civilized, and the boys have become beasts and are gong crazy. Simon was the only civilized one. The "Christ figure"

LOTF 6&7

What shocked me the most throughout these two chapters is how crazy and INSANE the kids acted towards Rob and how they decided to physically harm and hurt him. :(

LOTF 4&5

when the ship came when the fire was out I felt mad because they could have had hope if the fire was up and the ship saw the smoke. They had a chance of being saved. When Ralph called the meeting he tried to call order and create this idea of staying civilized but the other kids don't seem to care.

LOTF 2&3

This is where i start to notice that Piggy is really annoying as he seems and Ralph is being a good chief at keeping up with the fire and building huts. He is worried about doing these things to keep people inline and in order because anyone can just turn and just stop at any moment.

LOTF 1

Picking Ralph as cheif was definitely a better choice than picking Jack because Jack is too full of himself. he will probably turn everyone into crazy people.

Lotf 4&5

The boys find themselves falling into a pattern of daily living activities. Some start to hallucinate because of the immense heat. Piggy feels that they are mirages. ( he really tries to keep the order and fear out.) the younger boys or "littuns", are still playing and are still afraid of the beast. The older boys start picking on the younger ones. This represents the stress that they might feel in the situation. The boys start getting sick from all the fruit and realize that they really need meat. So does Jack. Jacks primal instincts kick in as he is still obsessed and has blood lust for the pig. He hunts. Jack and the other boys that tag along start losing themselves in the hunt. They forget about their duties of the fire, and break down into a sort of blood thirsty tribe. Piggy gets slapped by jack at an attempt to lecture him of the duties he hasent fulfilled. And simply wants the order to be maintained. But after this, Ralph and Jack then become enemies. The boys all start neglecting their duties and they aren't keeping their civilization as civil  as it should be. They get yelled at by Ralph. Ralph really starts to lost order and control. The boys are still scared of the beast. One of the littuns admits to seeing one of the beasts in the water.

Lotf 2&3

The boys find themselves summoning themselves to meetings with the sound of the conch she'll, this still represents order that they are trying to keep. They try to discuss to eachother that their was a pig, and that they could kill it to eat. The conch she'll is then used to decide who gets to talk in these meetings. This can go wrong as they might not be able to wait for eachother's turns. They have to take care of eachother; and they aren't old enough to take care of themselves. I feel like they almost feel like keeping order will make it so they are rescued earlier. The beast is also introduced in this section, and it represent the inner savage that all the boys are afraid of. It only makes sense that the younger boys are more afraid of it seeing as they have to rely on the older boys to take care of them. When civilization is broken down; what's keeping the beast from being released on anyone. Jack chases a pig through the jungle but the pig escapes once again. The boys then begin to build huts to try to house them for their survival. Ralph and Simon are the only ones who build the Huts. This shows that no one else will take responsibility to build them; they are making it easier to escape from their civil sides. And while all the other boys are playing in the water; it shows that that's the only way they can cope with the stress. It makes it easier to think that a means of surviving is as simple as a day on the beach.

Lotf 1

At the beginning of chapter one, you notice that Ralph has found himself defeated by the island. At a young age he finds that he still has the means to go on. The "fat boy" believes that this island is a new life, he doesn't want to be treated the same way as he did at school. The boys seem to be losing their professional aspects and are starting to become save ages as they god rid of their uniforms for the sake of the heat. They also obsess with finding order because their civilization is broken down.

Lord of the flies 12

I really didn't like the ending of this book. I believe that it was all meant to happen like this and the signal fire was a symbol and it was meant to have them be rescued. I thought it was ironic that the reason they got rescued though was because Jacks group of hunters set off a forest fire and led a boat to the island. The ending went from chaos to some what of order when the adult figure showed up on the beach after the chase through the forest with Ralph. I believe that the author chose to have the boys be rescued at the end instead of having Ralph die or anything of that matter is because the author didn't want to keep the chaos going, and I feel like if he continued the book things would have gotten worse if Ralph died. 

Lord of the flies 10&11

Jack is really making me disgusting when he sent a group of his hunters to beat on Ralph and piggy and to steal piggys glasses to make a fire. I feel bad for Piggy and don't understand why he is the outsider, and they have to pick on him. At the beginning of chapter 11 you really see how the two groups have split up and the ones that want Jack to be the leader have run away with him. Chapter 11 really was sad for me. I hate jack in the part where they fight. He really took. it to an extreme, and this fight showed true chaos and loss of morals for the boys. The loss of civilization and chaos have led to Piggy dying. I was really shocked at the part where he died because I wasn't expecting it to be him.

At this part I really am not liking Jack more and more. I'm glad that he chose to walk away from the group because nobody wanted to take Ralph's position away from him. I thought the idea of the fire was a good idea. I believe that it could help them be rescued. I was really shocked at the end of chapter 9 though when Simon was killed. I believe that the reason he was killed was because of the lack of civilization, and the boys have lost all their morals and become beasts themselves.

I felt that it was really creepy with the parachute guy falling, and the boys thinking that he was a beast. I wonder what is going to happen in the next couple chapters with the boys and how they are going to get along. It seems as if the loss of civilization is really coming into play.
