Chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell
Predictions: 1) That there will be a lot of violence.
2) People will become crazy
3) That they will end up on an Island
Questions: 1) Why did Ralph pick Simon instead of Piggy to go with him and Jack?
2) Why didn't the boys die in the plane crash?
3) Why weren't there any women in the plane or on the Island?
Clarification: I really don’t get this first chapter. I would have liked it better if it really explained why they had crashed and why there were only boys that survived and no adults.
Connections: 1) I have gotten a scar on my face before. I got it because my nail accidentally scratched my face.
2) I have been on a plane but it has never crashed.
Summary: They are on an Island. One of the boys is named Ralph, a boy that was only 12 years old and a few months. There is also another kid that seems to be fat. One of the boys kept asking where the adults were because they couldn't see any. The fat boy tried to get Ralph to ask him his name but he didn't get a clue so then the fat boy told him that they can call him whatever except Piggy which was what Ralph started to call him. They go for a swim and only to find out that Piggy can’t swim because they wouldn’t let him as a kid because he had asthma. After they get out the water they just walked and Piggy sees something and it was conch. They used the conch to call the others. After both of them blew into it a little boy of about six years old had came. His name was Johnny. Then suddenly more boys started to appear. Then comes another boy that scared them all his name was Merridew became to be Jack. Piggy’s real name was Roger. Ralph became chief after a group vote. Ralph, Jack and Simon went to look around to see if what they were stuck on was an Island. After finding out it was Simon then said that he was hungry and then the other two realized they were to and they went to look for food.
