Answers to questions for chapters 11 & 12

1. How is the descent into savagery foreshadowed in the novel? Provide three examples of its foreshadowing.

A) In these last few chapters I found that 'foreshadowing' is demonstrated when Piggy killed Simon. Savagery is an uncivilized or barbaric state or condition; barbarity and and barbarity means brutal or inhuman conduct; cruelty if you are killing someone it is still considered barbarity even though it is so very common now a~days.

2)How are Piggy, his glasses, and the conch symbolically linked in the novel?
A) Piggy is keen at loosing his conch and he is always concentrating on his specs. From my observation i think that his glasses are linked to the way he saw things. Because if we think back to he was he was more concerned about the more important things. I am not sure about the conch.


.3) What is the relationship between the Beast and the Lord of the Flies?

a) the beast is more of like a label then a person whereas the lord of the flies is a person.
