Chapter+6

1. What “sign” is sent down from the “world of grownups” in the beginning of the chapter? What is the message that the sign gives them? The "sign" sent down from the "world of grownups" in the beginning of the chapter is the dead pilot on the parachute. The message that the sign gives them is that their is hope that they still can be rescued because it means that a plane must have flown over the island.

2. Why do you think that Ralph did not blow the conch for an assembly after Samneric give him the news about the beast? He didn't blow the conch because he thought that the littluns would get scared because the beast could hear the conch and go to where the noise came from.

3. Why is Ralph so angry about the boys rolling rocks? Do you believe that his anger is justified? Why? He is angry because they are goofing off and are not focusing on their goals.

4. Do you believe that Ralph has changed at all from the beginning of the book? In what ways? I think that Ralph has become more mature since the beginning of the book. I think this because he has to be more responsible since he is the chief.
