Synopsis (a short description of the contents of something such as a film or book)

Ralph calls a meeting in an attempt to restore order. A general agreement about

respecting the rules is not reached. Instead, the discussion turns to fear of the beast.
Jack rejects the island’s rules and leads the boys in a dance. Ralph contemplates
abandoning his position as chief, but Simon and Piggy persuade him to stay on.

I. As Ralph prepares for the meeting, his thoughts about the role of chief are revealed.

Nº Questions Answer
Ralph believed that Piggy
was the smartest person on
1 the island. Would Piggy
have been a better chief?
Why or why not?

Is wisdom knowing all the

2 answers, or being able to
learn and take good advice?

II. At the assembly, Ralph re-establishes the existing rules, and puts forth one new
rule.

Nº Questions Answer

3
why are they put in place?

why not?

III. At the assembly, the debate turns to the beast.

Nº Questions Answer
Ralph says that the boys
have to talk about their fear
and realize that there is
5 nothing in it. Is Ralph’s
desire to openly discuss this
a good idea?

When Jack reassures the

group that there is no beast,
he also belittles the littluns,
6 calling them cry-babies and
sissies. Is this the
appropriate way to deal with
the littuns’ fears?

How is Jack’s approach

different from his first
7
discussion of the littluns’
fears of the beast.

Piggy claims that the world

is scientific and that the
boys should be safe “unless
8
we get frightened of people”
Who are the people that the
boys should fear?

Simon claims the beast

might exist but “maybe it’s
9
only us”. What does he
mean?

IV. When Jack and the boys rush off in disorder, Ralph considers blowing the conch.
Piggy believes that “You got to be tough now. Make ‘em do what you want.” Ralph
decides that “If I blow the conch and they don’t come back, then we’ve had it. We
shan’t keep the fire going. We’ll be like animals. We’ll never be rescued”.

Nº Questions Answer
Whose argument had more
10
merit? Piggy’s or Ralph’s?
