Chapter 3-Huts on the Beach

1. How is the conflict of character versus nature developed in this chapter?

The Conflict of character V.S.nature is becoming more obvious. An example is that Jack is searching for meat/food and is not successful. Also they are trying to build shelters to get out of the weather and have a place to sleep instead of being outside.

2. How have the attitudes about the beast changed since chapter 2? Do you believe that there is beast on the island with them? Explain your reasoning either way.

The attitude towards the beast has changed. They seem a lot more serious about it. They are trying to keep it a secret from the other boys so they don’t panic. I believe there is a good chance that there is a beast on the island, if there is it could become a big threat to boys.

3. How would describe Simon as a character? What information in the text leads you to believe that?

I think Simon is a little bit crazy. He wonders off by him self and goes to his hide hole. Also he does not talk real much. He acts a little weird and just sits there and listens. He is just a bit strange.

4. Identify the most important __event(s)__  in the plot and justify why the event(s) is the most important. In what ways does it affect the plot including characters, events, conflict, etc.?

 There are many important events that happened in this chapter. One event is that Jack goes out and tries to hunt but he comes up unsuccessful. It is important, because the group still doesn’t have anything to eat. All they have is fruits they find that fall out of the trees. Another event is that Jack and his hunters and Ralph and the shelter builders are starting to have arguments about what is most important. There is becoming a more and more distinct difference between the two groups. There are some important events that happen in this chapter.
