CHAPTER 9: QUESTION ANSWER

Question Answers

1. Simon gets a bloody nose when he is sleeping but the flies still prefer the dead pig head and the pig's guts.
2. He decides to go to the mountainside where the dead aviator is.
3. Simon untangles the parachute lines from the rocks.
4. Piggy suggests that they should go to the party.
5. The awkward presence is accepted because Piggy gets burned and so everyone laughs and makes fun of him, easing the tension between them.
6. Jack says Ralph doesn't have the conch with him and so it doesn't count or matter.
7. The weather became rainy and windy towards the end of the party.
8. They chant, "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!"
9. Simon comes out of the jungle and tries to tell the rest of the boys that the beast on top of the mountain is just a dead aviator.

10. I think that Jack is responsible for Simon's death. Even though it was the entire circle who killed him Jack started the tribe and was demonstrating his power over the people and pig's when Simon came to tell of the beastie. In the spur of the moment he killed Simon and didn't think twice about it. Overall, if Jack didn't rebel from the tribe then nothing would have happened. Also he created the LoTF by killing the pig and sticking her head on a stick.
