Chapter Eleven: Castle Rock
"Well, we won't be painted," "because we aren't savages."
The hope of making a fire comes to a stop for Ralph and Piggy now that Piggy's glasses are gone. Ralph can no longer take it and calls a meeting with the very few people still on his side. They all decide to go to face Jack's tribe at Castle Rock confronting them about the importance of a fire. The discussion does not last very long, before Ralph and Jack are in a fighting yelling and beating each other up. Piggy tries to stop the fight by telling them about how the fire could rescue them all. Before you know Piggy is the new target. Rodger shoves a giant boulder over the mountain side onto Piggy, killing him. Ralph see's the whole thing happen and knows he is next and quickly escapes, with Jack's tribe not far behind. I believe that they stole Piggy's glasses not only in hope of making a fire of their own but, to aggravate them even more and so they would come up to Castle Rock to face them. I also believe that if Piggy did not come into the discussion, Ralph would have been killed instead of Piggy. I think that Piggy was killed not only for dropping into a bad situation, but he was not liked by many people in he first place and was always trying to offer ideas, but they just thought of him being annoying.
