Guiding questions for chapters 3-4

We had a quiz on chapters 1-2. Here are the guiding questions for chapters 3-4. You are expected to answer them thoroughly. They are due on Friday at the beginning of class and will count as a quiz:


Chapter 3:

1. Describe Jack at the beginning of chapter 3. What is he focused on accomplishing? Why?
2. Describe the shelters being built.
3. What challenges is Ralph facing as a leader?

Chapter 4: 

1. Describe the "littluns." How do they compare to the older boys? Use specifics from the text.
2. How does Piggy fit into the group at the bathing pool? Why do you think his hair doesn't grow like the other boys? Hint: think about it as a symbol, not literal.
3. What happened to the fire? Why is it important?
4. How do Jack and his boys react to killing the pig?
5. At the end of the chapter, what does Ralph do? Why do you think he does this?
