I would like to start off that Piggy is dead and I am just angered with the power of one that might destroy a whole race of people. Piggy should not be dead. Jack should be dead because I think everyone agrees that he is the most sickening character in the whole story. If it wasn't for him going all bamboozled Piggy would be alive. If you are reading this Jack I want to tell you that in Saudi Arabia they cut off your hands for stealing. I will fly you all the way over to Saudi Arabia just to smuggle apples into your pockets. You are a murderer of the true higher power. It may not of been you that rolled the rock that hit Piggy but you are the reason it happened. Because of this event we see the true work of a savage that does not hold back when it comes to his territory and rule.
Now that I have released all of that inner tension in the form of digital text I will explain another major event of this chapter. For one this the conch breaks. For me this was just the apex of anarchy for the boys on the island. Without that shell there is no sign for higher rule. Nobody has power and it is every man for themselves with alliances between the some of the boys. It's as if the whole story was leading up to this moment as the savages grow more and more in insanity until it finally cracks and all leadership is worthless.
We also see that Ralph and Jack get into an epic controversy over Piggy's glasses and the conches power. This then leads to an epic brawl between the two chiefs. Not once, but twice in a row. This moment beyond no others show the greatness of opposition between the two of them. It was sanity versus insanity. I was also wondering what this may of looked like. How dirty were they and how long was their hair? I sort of imagined it as a heavy metal mosh pit. The long hair, and the dirt, and the shoulder shoving. I mean it makes perfect since to me to see that connection.

THE BOOKS THIS YEAR BY FAR!
Sorry I'm a tad bit late but hey, we're all human. We all make mistakes, some that can never be changed. Some make an impact on more than one's self and change the world.
But getting back on task, here are the books I've had attempted to comprehend as of the year 2012.
FIRST WE GOT IN DEFENSE OF FOOD!
then Nation, then Scar Tissue, then In His Own Write, then A Spaniard in The Works, then Lord of the Flies, and I also read The Hiding Place during the months of summer if that counts. I hope it does.
So far that is only 7 books so basically I have to step up my game. The problem I have with books is that I am completely unrecognized with what to read. I don't know of any books on the top of my mind that intrest me. I do read a lot of things that intrest me, as in that's what I do all day on some days. The problem with that is they are all written on websites or some other short story or lyric that you can't really find in a library as well as awfully short to be considered a full book.
However, I do have a couple of friends from outside of the school I'm in now, one in particular that is very into the arts and literature and we share a lot of the same intrest together except he is a whole lot more avid in reading different types of novels and conspiracy. He keeps asking me to read Denpa Kyoushi but that's manga and manga is just a little.... a little too manga for me. Nevertheless I still think he can introduce me to new things even though usually it's vice versa from there. I must say he has the swagger of an elephant and I'm pretty sure that is the most swag one can possibly contain.
