Chapters 8 and 9:
For this post, I'm choosing to write about the scene when the Lord of the Flies talks to and threatens Simon.
I think this scene was one of the scariest in the book because it showed that the boys were so afraid that they were imagining things like the Beast and the Lord of the Flies. I think Simon is the one that's most afraid because he's sorta between two teams: the Hunters and Ralph's Tribe. He's the only one that sees things as they really are on the island. For example, he was the one who saw the dead parachutist and knew that it wasn't the Beast. He runs to tell the others that the dead pilot isn't the Beast, and hopes that it will get the two tribes back together because the Beast was what split them up. He's also the only one that really feels things around the island and the only one that realizes what the Beast really is. He sees Lord of the Flies and the Lord of the Flies tells him that they created the Beast by being afraid of the things that they didn't know about the island. After Simon talks to the Beast, it warns him that if he starts running the hunters and other boys will kill him, but he still runs away because he is scared. He runs into the middle of Jack's Tribe, the Hunters, as they're doing a sort of dance and they boys think that he's the Beast coming out of the bushes and stab him. After Simon dies Ralph thinks that it was his fault because they were at the feast too with Jack and his tribe. He feels that he shouldn't have joined Jack and his Tribe's dances because things like the feast and the dance are bad and will lead to another accident like Simon.
Who was responsible for Simon's death and why?
I think that Jack is responsible for Simon's death. The reason I think this is because Jack was the one that encouraged the other Hunters to wear face paint and act all wild. When Simon walked into the middle of their feast, they were in a sort of a frenzy because they were dancing around the fire and so they didn't know that it was Simon and not the Beast. Jack was also the one that suggested dances and rituals. These dances made the hunters more wild every time, until they stopped caring about what they were doing. Jack seems to be obsessed about hunting and pigs. In conclusion, I think that Jack is responsible for Simon's death because he was the one that made his tribe act crazy and not really know what they were doing. It was his fault that they killed Simon.
