Q-4

what is the climax of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?

First time I read the story I could not fide any climax right now I’m still not sure about climax that it is right or wrong. When I keep read again I find two scenes. That is when they knew the identity of monster and when piggy killed by Jack and Ralph be come disadvantage situation. I confuse because of these two but I think the climax is the when Piggy killed by Jack and Ralph be come disadvantage situation. Jack really does not like Piggy, because Piggy never hunt pigs together and he can not hunt well he just talks. In Jack’s mind that Piggy was so annoying, times past all the kids become Jacks side and Jack feels like be come leader. Jack and Ralph start arguing on the way Piggy got conch he starts talking. Jack got mad he pushed Piggy and he fell under the cliff and die.
After he die Ralph lost his all the knowledge. There is no one follow him. He be come disadvantage situation.

Q-3

who are the main characters in the novel? do you like them? why or why not? what is special about them? what do they reveal about the universal human experience?

In this novel airplane fall in to the deserted island and only children alive, they stay at the deserted island and they choose a leader named Ralph, but he is not main character. There are two more important people named Piggy and Jack. I think the three kids are basic characters, but Ralph is more important character. When I read this book I was impressed with their action, because their age is young but they help each others like make a house together or go hunt and get food. Inside of kids Ralph is doing his leadership well sometimes he argue with but Jack, because Jack always dislike Ralph’s decisions but they survive every day. Reveal about the universal human experience? Not because of he is leader but I think Ralph is kind of observant person. In the story if Ralph is Justice, then Jack will be the Wicked. Jack is always against to Ralph, he has much self-respect.Jack thinks today is more important than future. He went hunting with twins who are watching a fire to rescue. Piggy is quiet and can’t say anything front of people, because he is ugly and fat no one wants to friend with him. Piggy thinks future is more important than today. He gives decision to make a fire for rescue andMake house for sleep safety. Piggy is brain of Ralph. Piggy always give his decision to Ralph and Ralph tells everyone. After Piggy die Ralph lost all the knowledge, no one to tell him anything more about rescue to him Jack becomes leader.

Q-6

Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable?Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you

There are some setting in this novel which I think are memorable and some of them include some scenes like when the mountains was burned by kids. In the novel, it describes the scene like this.
"At the sight of the flames and the irresistible course of the fire, the boys broke into shrill, excited cheering. The flames, as though they were a kind of wild life, crept as a jaguar creeps on its belly toward a line of birch-like saplings that fleged an outcrop of the pink rock. They flappede at the first of trees and then went swinging and flaring along the whole row of them. Beneath the capering boys a quarter of a mile square of forest was savage with smoke and flame. The separate noises of the fire merged into a drum-roll that seened to shake th mountain."That setting is kind of meaningful to me because normaly kids also people can't doingthe put fire or ply with fire so its kind of envy that they can use fire, sometime its makestroble.

Q-2

Q-2 Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or 'fixed'?


Today world and in a novel the problem is not every bodyobey the rule and I think there is no solution for make that people for disobey the rules and ruler. If I can give the solution it’s a great idea for world. I think there are current situations in the world that relate to the novel. Today, the people vote the ruler and ruler control over the people but as time pasts few people started to disobey the ruler. In the novel kids vote ruler for Ralph, and Ralph make a rules and kids obey him until he fight with Jack. As time past Jack dislike Ralph's method, hetrying to do kids disobey Ralph. Suddenly kids be come disobey Ralph. Today and in a novel there is a ruler and people obey the ruler but there are also disobey people.
