Lord of the Flies) Question 4

What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel makes you feel?

I learned that climax is the point of highest interest, highest emotion, the most action, and the point at which the main character makes the most important decision or realization.. Actually, I am not sure exactly where the climax begins in this story, but I think when one of the littlun in Jack’s group steals Piggy’s glasses, and that was the special process that led to the climax part. As the story warmed up throughout the climax, it became wild and characters became wilder than the beginning like the true nature inside human has revealed finally. Anyway, after Piggy lost his glasses, he couldn’t see anything without his glasses. So Ralph, Piggy, and Sam and Eric decided to go to Jack, not only for finding glasses, but also about the fire. They went off to the Jack’s groups. Then Ralph and Jack come to a crash here, and this is the part of climax, when they both argue about the fire and Piggy’s specs. Ralph’s temper got into high pitch because Jack didn’t listen to him. Finally they got into a fight. While they were struggling and hitting each other, Piggy did unexpected thing. He held up the conch and started to say, “I got to say, I got the conch! Who is better to have rules and agree; or to hunt and kill?” the way he acts like an adult. Suddenly, Roger held up the giant sized rock and threw it to Piggy. Piggy died without even knowing it. Then Ralph‘s tension tied and he exploded. But Jack doesn’t feel sorry at all, he acts crueler to Ralph. Jack orders his tribes to take Sam and Eric into his group and Ralph ran away. These events are awful; I feel terrible about the boys. I don’t understand why they are killing each other. They need to help each other in this kind of situation.
