Ch.10 common core questions

1. Ralph knows that during the incident they ulimately killed Simon. However, piggy wants Ralph's knowledge of this to be unspoken of. “That was murder.'You stop it!' Said piggy, shrilly.'What good're you doing talking like that?"(golding 156). Piggy states that during the incident, he and Ralph were outside of the circle that was tormenting Simon and that it was all just an accident. “It was an accident,'said. Piggy, suddenly,’that's what it was. An accident,"(golding157). Samneric describe the incident as a “dance" or “feast" and that they had left early and got lost.

 Ralph has a huge guilty conscience about Simons death. He says it was a murder and has realized how voilent the group has become. “I'm frightened of us. I want to go home. Oh god, I want to go home"(golding157). However, jack doesn't acknowledge Simon. “It came-disguised. He may come again even though we have him the head of our kill to eat"(golding 160). He says it had been the beast that attacked the night before and disguised himself as Simon.”each savage-flinched away from his individual memory. How could we-kill-it"(Golding 160). Every boy understands the crime, but won't admit it.

jack based on his order to have Wilfred beaten is that he installs fear in others so they follow his orders. I think with how roger asks Robert why they beat Wilfred and Robert doesn't really have a reason. They followed jack's orders without questioning it for fear. Ralph and piggy were also manipulated to kill Simon with fear. It's the same as Wilfred's incident so that's why they see jack as a leader. 

Jack is chief of all the boys now. He is a cruel leader by punishing Wilfred for no reason. He has let the power come into his head making him a savage.
