What type of leader is Jack, as seen in the events of this chapter? amanda_bannister https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349180227 Jack tries to be a powerful leader through hunting & physical dominance. He displays his power & authority in the way he carries his spear (symbol of violence) & orders the boys to do his bidding. He exerts control over them through promising to provide for their needs & playing on their fears. In this way, he displays characteristics of a dictator.]]> 2021-03-24 17:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349180227 2. Why do Piggy and Ralph join in with the 'dance'? amanda_bannister https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349180820 The boys are ordered to dance. They join the dance for the sense of security which is gained by being part of the crowd. Indeed, the mob dance is described as a 'demented but partly secure society' and Piggy and Ralph get caught up in the frenzy and excitement.

How did it make you feel? amanda_bannister https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349181507 The description is barbaric and truly savage. “There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of the teeth and claws.” – this behavior is truly animalistic. The boys are in a frenzied 'dance' on the beach - chanting and re-enacting the hunt. By the time Simon appears on the beach, the boys have worked themselves up into a frenzy and have been taken up in the mob mentality and euphoria of the moment. Therefore they are not thinking clearly at all and they see what they want to see - a beast for killing. Thus Simon is brutally attacked and murdered by the boys. The boys have descended into savagery with this murder – it is a pivotal moment in the novel.]]> 2021-03-24 17:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349181507 jashaun elliott 3, Simon goes to tell the group that the beast isn't real but gets mistaken for the beast, and the boys beat Simon to death with there weapons. https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349213303 .]]> 2021-03-24 17:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349213303 Lacey K https://padlet.com/amanda_bannister/xbq5vohuy48a91xj/wish/1349215147 1.He seems like the ruler that just wants to lead and not have other peoples say.
