Chapter Eleven Summary
This chapter starts off with the boys trying hard to make a fire, but can’t because they are missing Piggy’s glasses. The boys grab the conch and call a meeting. A few boys, who haven’t left to go to Jack’s camp, come and talk with Ralph and Piggy, and discuss their plans. Overall they decide to go to Jack’s camp, trying to convince him to go back to a civilized society. As they get to the other camp, they see that Jack has guards around the camp, that are armed with spears. Ralph tries to blow the conch but the guards throw rocks and yell at him, but Jack shows up, after hunting. Jack and Ralph fight right away, demanding things from each other, Ralph decides he will leave if Jack will give him Piggy’s glasses. Jack tells two of his boys to tie up Ralph and the other boys, but this just makes Ralph angry, and they fight again. As the chapter ends, Roger, one of Jack’s boys rolls a giant rock at Piggy who was yelling at the boys to stop fighting. The large rock smashes into Piggy, smashing the conch, and throwing Piggy off Castle Rock.
