Chapter 11 starts with the boys who are left-Ralph, Piggy, Sam and Eric- trying to decide what they’re going to do about Jack and his new tribe. Ralph can’t believe that some of the boys want Jack to be their leader since he’s the one who let the fire go out when the ship was passing, and Ralph blames him for Simon’s death. Now he’s also mad that they stole Piggy’s glasses from him, as well as stealing the fire and he feels that this means they have no hope of being rescued. Piggy is really angry and decides that he’s going to get his glasses back no matter what, even though the other boys feel that going over there is just asking for trouble. Piggy obviously feels that he needs to prove to himself and the other boys that he’s not just going to be pushed around anymore, so off the 4 boys go. They set off with Piggy being led by the others and carrying the conch.
When they arrive at Jacks “camp”, it is high above the sea and being guarded by some of the boys. Ralph blows the conch until of the boys, who are now all painted like savages appear. Ralph keeps saying that he is calling an assembly, and the other boys just tell him that Jack is out hunting and that they have been told not to let him in. Ralph says he’s come to talk to them about the fire and Piggy’s glasses and suddenly Jack appears. First Ralph and Jack just yell at each other, and Piggy is getting really nervous. But then Jack throws himself at Ralph and tries to stab him and the two end up physically fighting. Piggy breaks up the fight when he reminds Ralph that all they want are his specs back, and Ralph tries to calmly explain things to the rest of the boys. Except they’re savages so this doesn’t work and Jack orders his tribe to grab the twins. This causes Ralph to lose his temper, and Ralph and Jack end up fighting again. This time it’s Piggy’s turn to try to make an appeal to the boys, holding the conch the entire time. Suddenly, Roger drops a huge boulder from above which hits Piggy; destroying the conch and throwing Piggy off the cliff which obviously kills him right away. At this point, Jack starts yelling about how he’s chief, especially with the conch being destroyed; while Ralph runs away as fast as he can. As for Sam’n’Eric, they are taken prisoner by Jack’s tribe.

I really hope Jasveen never reads your summary...or else she will cry again over the loss of Piggy
I must say i was shocked at everything that happened in this chapter. I mean who wouldn't ..Piggy dies and by who? Rogers:@..Oh and the part where Rogers crushed the conch made me want to jump inside the book and crush him! ok maybe not. I wouldn't want to be Ralph at this point, just picture yourself in a forest with a bunch of living beasts. Now that Piggy is gone and the twins are forced to go on Jack's side, Ralph somehow becomes the prey.
Christina it would be cool if you add some pictures, like the funny ones Jasveen added. Just make sure they don't make anyone cry:(
