1. The major themes of the novel include civilization vs savagery, loss of innocence, and the inherent evil of man. These themes all connect to each other and develop alongside each other as the novel progresses. As the boys deal with Simon's death they lose their innocence which sends them further into savagery and further away from civilization, but Simon's death only happened because of the evil they all have inside of them that their descent into savagery has brought out.
2. The novel focuses on the idea that human nature is inherently violent and that are brains focusing on order and rules is the only thing keeping us all from being murderers. This is expressed through each of the characters who represent order either dying or breaking down and submitting to that violence along with the idea of the beast that Simon sees as the personified devil inside of the boys.
3. Death, violence, and anger all gradually destroy the idea of society on the island suggesting that these things destroy proper societies and civilizations in the real world as well.
4. Most of Lord of the Flies is made up of symbolism. Each of the boys represents something like how Ralph represents order and is contrasted by Jack representing savagery and anger and is evened out by Piggy representing reason and democracy. These symbols make the author's themes about violence and human nature more obvious to the reader.
5. I think the book is a very bleak outlook on human nature and is ultimately incorrect. While there are many people in the world who are violent and some who could be described as "evil", I think they are outnumbered by the people who do good. I know almost everyone has done some act of kindness without a reward before and while mob mentality does exist so do the people who fight back against violence and protect others.

1. Ralph and Piggy try and separate themselves from Simon's death and don't want to tell anyone they were there and a part of it or tell themselves that they were a part of it. Ralph continues to break down as he begins to laugh at the idea of order and structure and him being chief which scares Piggy because Ralph has stood for order which is now gone and has been one of the few people to slightly like Piggy. The boys are contrasted as Piggy makes excuses for Simon's death, saying they were scared, it was dark, and that he was only pretending, because he cannot come to terms with killing someone and cannot allow Ralph too either. Showing that humans often lie to accomplish their own means and achieve security as Piggy convinces Ralph that they weren't a part of the murder in order to keep the little bit of order and calm they have left.
2. The narrator suggests that instead of just pretending like they had not gone to the party, Ralph and Piggy have convinced themselves that they hadn't gone. They have separated themselves from Simon's death so much that they can't even admit they were near it, but they also can't forget the memory of his death no matter how hard they try to remove themselves from it.
3. Roger and Robert call Jack a "proper chief" after viewing the defense mechanisms and systems the older boy set up. Showing that humans want to be protected and they value those who can bring that protection and security, even if it is brought through violence.
4. Jack tied up Wilfred and beat him without giving any explanation which makes Roger doubt how responsible he is as a leader.
5. The biguns know they killed Simon, but they try to separate themselves from his death in a different way than Ralph and Piggy. Instead of saying they had no part in his murder, they justify it by calling him an "it" and that Simon was really the beast in disguise. Jack's form of leadership promotes mob mentality and bloodlust and led them to kill Simon. They are "half-relieved" because Jack's violent actions assure them that they do not need to think for themselves and that they are still a part of the group with a bigger purpose, but the thought of committing more violence scares them. The quotes show Jack telling the boys they did not kill the beast forcing them to confront that they really killed Simon, a thought that terrifies them.

1. Ralph says that he'll "be sucking my thumb next" accidentally out loud as he was thinking about how he started biting his nails again while on the island without noticing it. Ralph starting to talk to himself shows how being one of the few people on the island who are concerned about getting home is making him lonely.
2. Simon insists to Ralph that Ralph will return home, but Simon's words leave out the return of any of the other boys including himself. This likely foreshadows only Ralph going home as Simon has foreshadowed other things that would result in the rest of the boys dying.
3. After the pig hunt, the boys pretend Robert is a pig and surround him and attack him and Jack nearly kills him while the boys chant the same thing they said while killing the pig earlier. Ralph joins in showing that all of the boys, even Ralph the most orderly out of all of them, will give in to violence and chaos.
4. Simon volunteers to return to the littluns and Piggy because he does not believe in the beast and also probably because he has already mentioned that he thinks the boys will become violent and wants to be out of the way during the hunt for the beast.
6.  The author having the boys go up the mountain at night creates both tension and plot progression as it creates conflict between Ralph, who wants to go back, and Jack, who wants to climb the mountain to look for the beast. This serves to further divide the two boys as well as allowing the boys to rediscover the beast in the dark which makes it so they cannot see what it really is and that there is no real beast.

1. The "Beast from Air" is the body of a parachutist who's body is hanging from a tree. The boys mistaking it for a monster symbolizes the end of adult supervision as a contrast to their wishing for adult supervision in the previous chapter.
2. Sam and Eric's descriptions of the beast show how eagerly they latch on to what the other is saying until something slightly odd becomes scary to all of the boys and how quickly paranoia can spread in humans.
4. Simon's thoughts about the beast continue his idea he suggested at the assembly. He thinks that there is not a monster but the real beast is that they are all falling into chaos and violence. This is likely foreshadowing.
5. Ralph still doesn't believe in the beast and he is likely only going to look for it to confirm that there is not one and stop everyone else from being scared all the time.
6. The boys almost all forget about the beast and want to play in the "castle" forgetting about the signal fire. Ralph's response to this, asking if any of them really want to be rescued, remind them that they still have to work and is likely foreshadowing that most of the boys will not be rescued because of their failure to stick to structure.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Ralph has become more determined to set up a structure and rules instead of the childish fun that he allowed before and now values Piggy more as he sees how he is able to think intellectually in their situation.
2. Ralph talks about three main things during the assembly: The rocks are the only bathroom, fire cannot be moved from the mountain, and there is no beast. These points make the chaos of the boys' lives more structured and keep fear and disorder at bay.
7. The rules are important to Ralph because he represents order and wants there to be order. The rules keep the boys from going crazy and killing each other whether on purpose or by accident like how the chaos of the fire caused a little boy to die earlier. Breaking the rules and ignoring them will likely lead to chaos and many deaths.
8. Piggy thinks that calling everyone back will work because they respond to the conch and whoever holds it and that way Ralph can be stricter and convince them to follow the rules. Ralph does not do this because he is afraid that no one would come back and the rules would be forever broken leaving the boys in complete chaos.

1. The beginning of the chapter shows how easily humans adapt as the boys have already settled into a routine. The littuns are very different than the biguns but they seem content compared to the restless older boys.

2. Both Maurice walking away when Percival cries and Roger purposely not hitting Henry shows that while both boys enjoy causing harm they remember society’s rules and lessons as Maurice thinks that he may run away because of remembering his mother’s punishments and Roger linking his inability to hit Henry with the rules of policemen. Showing that human nature is constrained by the rules of society.

3. The hunters paint themselves to camouflage and hunter better but it also serves to separate themselves from the other boys. The makeup makes them look less human and so they feel less human and fall into a sort of mob mentality.

4. The hunters begin to chant after successfully completing the hunt which fully shows their descent into mob mentality. They no longer need to think like individuals and it shows how order and reason have fallen away for them leaving only the need to hunt and group approval.

5. Ralph gives orders that no one can argue or reply to which seems to sort of snap the hunters out of their mob mentality for a moment because they have to comply with the orders instead of just hunting.

6. The conflict between Ralph and Jack will likely quickly spread to the other boys as they seem to have made two sides to the conflict. The hunters are more excited over the meat and the success of their hunt than they are upset about missing a chance to be rescued. Ralph’s side however is more upset about missing a chance to be rescued because the only reason they now have meat is because the hunters did not do their main job and let the fire go out.

7. The title of the chapter shows the difference between the pristine and proper choir boys and the now chaotic and makeup covered hunters. The long hair and makeup separate them from the rest of the boys who still have structure and also separate them from rules and order.

1. Jack who has been fairly similar to Ralph until now is only focused on one thing, meat. He hunts all day and has changed his proper choir uniform to more appropriate gear and has let his hair grow out. He doesn’t care about the danger of the situation he’s in he only cares about hunting even calling it some sort of madness.

2. All the other boys are playing all day and treating the island like a vacation which shows that humans prefer taking the easy route, thinking that someone will come along and rescue them eventually, instead of working to prevent danger. The fact that Jack Piggy and Ralph are some of the few working or at least upholding the rules shows that they represent something other than just human nature like discipline and order.

3. Ralph and Jack are very similar but have a few differences that make them argue constantly. They both like order and leadership but while Ralph votes on orders and works too, Jack takes more control and commands his group. Ralph cares more for the order the rules brings while Jack cares more the violence breaking the rules brings. I think their differences will result in violence as Jack gets madder and their differences get more obvious.

4. The littluns fear the beast because they’re young and the unknown is more likely to scare them. The rules and safety the rules bring helps but not much. Jack fears the beast because he feels like one when he hunts. It represents him in a sense and that seems to scare him and is represented by the feeling that when he’s hunting, something is hunting him.

5. Simon is an outcast compared to the rest of the boys. He doesn’t seem to represent anything like what makes Ralph, Jack, and Piggy stand out, but he also seems content with being different. However I feel like this will cause problems later on as the littluns like him because he feeds them and listens instead of ordering them about but Jack and Ralph dislike him because he is different. As the boys get more violent, I feel he will be in danger.

1. The beast or the idea of a beast creates chaos amongst the group as the older kids mock the little ones for believing but likely only because they’re somewhat scared themselves. Ralph feels the need to repeat that there isn’t a beast over and over likely because he’s the leader and the thought of one scares him so he needs to make sure no one else believes or else he might as well.

2. Jack is very eager at the thought of violence. Currently he’s only mocking Piggy, but his thoughts towards rule breakers and after seeing the piglet makes him seem like he might be inclined towards needless violence later on which might cause problems as a violent kid leader with a group of also violent kids with no adults could quickly turn dangerous.

3. Piggy speaks clearly and intelligently showing that he likely represents that but because he’s only used for his glasses and he’s helpless without them and mocked by the other kids shows that in this situation intelligence and reason do not matter and will end up ignored just like Piggy.

4. The boys ignore and mock Piggy but listen to Ralph and Jack even when Piggy is the one who supposed to be listened to. Even Ralph and Jack don’t listen to Piggy when he has the shell showing that likely because of his health problems, poor eyesight and asthma or weight, they view Piggy as funny and useless and in a scenario where there are no consequences they act on their cruel thoughts.

5. The fire is supposed to be a sign of the boy’s organized thinking but quickly grows out of control and dangerous. In a similar way of thinking drumrolls usually precede something exciting but the drumroll in the book shows a buildup to danger and destruction just like the fire caused.

6. The major themes of the book seem to be about human nature and chaos vs order based on the arguments and actions of the kids. Ralph represents order and votes while Jack bosses people around and while Piggy seems to represent intelligence and reason he’s ignored. Not to mention the orderly ways of thinking are all underlined with cruelty like name calling, mocking, and even thoughts of violence.

1. Ralph is blond, takes the role of the leader, demanding, dislikes people questioning his authority;Piggy is cautious, smart but parrots his Aunt, overweight which is the reason for the nickname; Jack is controlling and likes arguing, commanding personality clashes with Ralph, choir boy

2. There are references to killing and being left alone that make me think it is foreshadowing that few kids will survive and be found, the budding arguments between Jack and Ralph make me think they will fight with large consequences later on maybe accidentally killing or injuring someone, and the scene with the piglet suggests that Jack will warm up to violence

3. All of the boys immediately start lashing out in small ways, name calling, arguing, dreaming of violence, once they realize no one is in charge of them showing that people will do bad things when they think there is no consequences for them.

4. The boys meeting the piglet shows a few things, one that Ralph and Jack have very similar ideas and clash because of the want to be a leader that both have, and two that violence is something both kids clearly think fondly of because of the immediate thoughts of forming an army and hunters but neither have real experience as neither moves to actually hurt the piglet, and three that Jack is starting to lean into his more violent nature

5. I believe the shell represents power but meaningless power. Everyone comes to the sound of the shell and having the shell makes Ralph the leader, but only because everyone thinks so. If they start to realize that the shell has no power it will throw the currently organized and somewhat well behaved kids into madness and chaos.
