Lord of The Flies

Chapter 11: Castle Rock
Fine White Shards

1. Piggy tells Ralph to blow on the conch and call an assembly.

2. Piggy will tell Jack that he must give him back his glasses because it is the right thing to do.

3. Ralph says that they will look like they did before they became savages. They will wash and comb their hair.

4. Roger challenges them on their approach to Castle Rock.

5. Jack has been hunting when he appears.

6. Ralph provokes a fight with Jack by calling him a thief.

7. During the truculent fight Jack's tribe captures Samneric. Then afterwards Jack and Roger begin to prod Samneric with their spears.

8. Roger is throwing rocks without cessation during Piggy's plea for a return to decency.

9. I believe Roger is responsible for Piggy's death. In the book Roger leans on a lever which releases a boulder which kills Piggy and destroys the talisman that is the conch. In the book it never says Roger was ordered by anyone to release the boulder. Before he releases the boulder he's the only one in Jack's tribe besides Jack himself to become physically aggressive towards Ralph's tribe by throwing stones. The book says he leaned on the lever out of delirious abandonment. Meaning it was him who acted alone in killing Piggy. I believe it was Roger who killed Piggy and no one else.
