Chapter Three Responses

When is figurative language used and to what effect?
Golding uses personification when describing the creepers in the forest. He writes, "... and the creepers dropped their ropes like the rigging of foundered ships." (pg. 56) I believe that this is done because the forest is home to the beast, according to the little kids. When the forest is personified, it gives a feeling that it is alive, and it makes for a creepier feeling about the forest. If the feeling associated with it is creepy, and the thought of the beast living there is in the back of everyone's head, then this would make the reader entertain the possibility that there may be something in the forest, if not the beast itself.

How do the parts build to a whole?
In the first chapter, we see the beginnings of the power struggle between Ralph and Jack when the tribe elects Ralph as chief. Jack is only temporarily satisfied because Ralph lets him be in charge of the hunters. In chapter two, we see fractures begin to form in the tribe, as it becomes apparent that Jack dislikes Piggy. Jack also attempts to make the conch not count on the mountain. However, when we get to chapter three, the tribe really begins to split, between the hunters and Ralph's followers. They argue over what is more important for them, shelters or meat. Jack interprets what Ralph is saying incorrectly, he thinks Ralph is saying the hunter aren't working, which isn't what Ralph means. However, the damage is done, and from here, the tribe never goes back to the way they used to be.
Golding uses the title, Huts on the Beach, for chapter three. This is done because the huts symbolize home and safety to the little kids, and even the older kids feel some sort of comfort in them. They need this comfort with the thought of the beast still lurking in their heads. Also, huts are a main point of contention between Ralph and Jack in the chapter, as they disagree over what is more important, shelter or hunting. This argument ultimately splits the tribe between the hunters and Ralph's followers, and the tribe never recovers from this.

Golding uses personification to describe the forest. On pg. 48 he writes, "He passed hus tongue across dry lips and scanned the uncommunicative forest." He does this to show how the forest isn't so cooperated with the boys because this isn't their home and it's probably someone or somebody else's home. This personification gives a feeling like the forest has a mind of its own because Jack can't find any meat only footprints because the forest won't communicate with Jack or give him any help. And since the personification kind of makes the chapter or story more entertaining because the forest is kind of or sort of alive because uncommunicative and silent are very much human like description.
Key Details
How did the author develop the argument, explaination, or narrative?
Golding created argument when Ralph held the first meeting with the conch. He says things like everybody needs a job on this island and Jack goes and says me and my men will be the hunters and we'll hunt for meat, but Ralph says we need sheltet first. So as the time goes by Jack hasn't found any meat, Ralph has shelter but the shelter isn't very stable. When Jack comes back to the base, Ralph and Jack start arguing on the jobs because like Jack said me and my men will the do the hunting, but none of Jack's boys are hunting. Their just swimming in the water and having fun. While Ralph and Simon are making shelters for everyone to get away from the beast. So as time goes by things are getting bad because there's really no teamwork in these boys because one person wants meat and the other wants shelter, but they can't either of them if they don't have a better chief to teach them things.
Golding calls this chapter, Huts on the Beach, because huts are like homes to people and Ralph keeps saying we need shelter, but he can't really make one because no one is helping. So basically huts resemble a home and home is suppose to make you feel comfortable and safe from the bad things outside. And the huts really created a big problem in the chapter which will probably break the group up with Jack and Ralph's argument about shelter or hunting.

This whole chapter has quite of bit of figurative language, the most noticeable is towards the end of the chapter when Golding describes the jungle having creepers closing in on them "so close that he left sweat on them", I believe this is as they think their being watched by the beast making the forest alive. Giving detail as such can provide a more in dept experience intriguing the reader.
  Golding uses "Huts on the beach" for chapter 3 because the huts are the shelters Ralph is trying to build but none of the boys are helping him. A hut is like a home a safe place which the boys need since they believe a beast is in the jungle.

Simile is used (48) "Jack was bent double. He was down like  a sprinter." A sprinter has trained for most of his/her life. However, within a short amount of time, Jack has already “trained” himself to become more savage in his own way of surviving the island.
Key Details
Which details support the key idea? Look for who? What? When? Where? Why? How much? How many?
Details that support the key idea in this chapter is that Ralph and Jack both control two different groups. Jack and his group has been hunting. While Ralph and his group are trying to make shelters (huts). This will causes the group to create issues since Jack has always been wanting to be the leader. Both are controlling their groups. While Ralph believes that we need more shelters then meat. When Jack believe that we need meat over shelter because most are hungry. Jack also argues that the agreement was that he and his hunters were exempt from building shelter because they needed meat to eat.
Why did Golding titled the third chapter "Huts on the Beach"? The title represents about the huts built on the beach. The chapter addresses the problem that the boys are faced with. They need food and want meat, but they also need shelter. Ralph and Simon argue with Jack because Ralph and Simon and a few others have worked very hard to build two shelters.

Where does the text leave matters uncertain or unstated?
          Why is Simon wondering off alone? What is Simon really looking for? Why is Simon the only one actually helping Ralph with the shelters? Could you consider Simon to be Ralph's "Guardian Angel"? Why does Simon seem to be mute for the most part? Why didn't Ralph or Jack say or do anything after they saw that Simon wasn't taking a bath? Seems to me that even though Simon was the only one helping Ralph with the shelters Simon wasn't all that important enough to Ralph to go looking for him. No one even notices when Simon wonders off. I wonder why no one cares enough about the boy to worry about him other than Piggy is chapter 2. Does the level of care towards the boy have something to do with his social skills? And why does Simon spend sooo much time alone instead of with the boys his own age?

Chapter 3- Huts on the Beach
In this chapter, Ralph is more concerned for the shelters that need to be built while Jack is more concerned for the pigs he must slay for meat. For most of the chapter was spent arguing about which had a greater value the shelter or the meat. Clearly, no one was willing to help Ralph out with building the huts except Simon because they were all off playing, wondering, or hunting. The huts were the most important thing that needed to get done before nightfall, but they didn't get finished because no one else contributed. I guess Golding named this because of the importance of the matter.

1) Inferences – How do the parts build to a whole?
- On page 51, Ralph says, “I bet if I blew the conch this minute, they’d come running. Then we’d be, you know, very solemn, and someone would say we ought to build a jet, or a submarine, or a TV set. When the meeting was over they work for five minutes, then wander off or go hunting.” This is kind of where all the problems started. Everyone started to get lazy; they only want to have fun and not deal with the consequences of preparing for survival. They wanted shelter and food provided for them without having to work. Neither would they listen to Ralph in their meetings. Oder and rules all vanished, so chaos would start soon.
2) Vocabulary and text structure – what role the individual paragraphs, sentences, phrases, or words play?
- On page 51, jack keeps repeating “we want meat” he keeps using it as an excuse for why he hunts all day and doesn’t help with the shelter and fire and other things. But I think jack has an obsession of proving himself to be the one that should be in charge, I think if he caught a pig and served it to the kids; they would see him as important. He likes the thought of power and hunting is the only way he can get it. He’s also been jealous of Ralph ever since he’s been picked to be the leader. So to me, “we want meat” is his way of saying “I want to be in charge” or “I want to be leader.”
This chapter is named “Huts on the Beach” because Ralph realized he had no control of the kids on the island when none of them worked on building the huts on the beach. No matter how many meeting he calls, they won’t listen to him. And I think he realizes that things are getting bad. In a way, the huts represent his power, a small amount, and badly built, ready to fall.
1) Convey (51) – to convey something, is to make an idea, impression, or feeling known or understandable to someone.
- He tried to convey the compulsion to track down and kill that was swallowing him up.
2) Maddening (49) - something that is maddening, is extremely annoying; infuriating.
- From the pig-run came the quick, hard patter of hoofs, a castanet sound, seductive, maddening- the promise of meat.
3) Solemn (51) – someone that is solemn is characterized by deep sincerity.
- Then we’d be, you know, very solemn, and someone would say we ought to build a jet, or a submarine, or a TV set.

On page 48 it says, "Jack went double. He was down like a sprinter, his nose only a few inches from the humid earth...Then dog-like, uncomfortably on all fours yet unheeding his discomfort, he stole forward five yards and stopped." This shows how Jack is slowly but surely turning into more of a savage the longer he stays on the island and hunts.

Key Details
How did the author develop the argument, explanation, or narrative?
Golding developed the argument between Jack and Ralph by showing how frustrated Ralph was with the shelter. On page 50 it says, "Ralph looked up, frowning, from the complication of leaves." This led to Ralph arguing with Jack about how some tasks are more important than others.

Golding uses the title, "Huts on the Beach" because the huts symbolize civilization which Simon, Piggy, Ralph want and this shows because they are trying to build them. Jack and all the other boys don't want to work on it because they are starting to turn into savages and they are less mature then the three other boys.

How do the parts build to a whole?
Parts of different passages of this chapter exemplify how are Jack and the other boys are starting to act wilder. For example, in pg. 48 ,in this passage: "His sandy hair considerably longer than it had been when they dropped in, was lighter now; and his bare back was a mass of dark freckles and peeling sunburn. A sharpened stick about 5 feet long trailed from his right hand, and exept for a pair of tattered shorts held up by his knife belt he was naked. Golding is suggesting that Jack's appearance is turning the opposite of the appearance of a person who lives in a civilized communit. In other words, Jack starts to look more "savage" and less like a student ruled by strict school rules, what he used to be and look like. Also in pages 51 and 54, Jack repeatedly says : "But we want the meat!" when Ralph asks him why didn't Jack and his "hunters" help him to build the huts; and instead they went to unsuccessfully hunt a pig. This suggests that Jack is losing his common sense and it is being replaced with and insatiable desire of hunting, just like when carnivore/omnivore wild animals need food. In other words, he is starting to act like an animal. Finally, I would like to mention that in chapter 2, pg. 42, Jack said "We are not savages, we are English."What an irony!
-Whose story is not presented?
Thoughout this chapter, Golding focused more on the character development of Ralph, Jack, and Simon; while Piggy has been mentioned just once in pg. 54. We don't exactly know what has he been doing all this time, nor how has he changed, we can just have and idea of how does he feel about his current situation due to what the other chapters suggested about him and his personality.
-Whi did the author titled the 3rd chapter as "Huts on the Beach"?
Because in this chapter, the enmity between Ralph and Jack starts because Jack and his "hunters" didn't help Ralph in building the huts for sheltering themselves in the beach. And the antagonism between them is so important for the story development.
-Words i don't know:
*brim (pg. 50): "Jack took up a coconut shell that brimmed with fresh water from among a group that was arranged in the shade, and drank." Friendly definition of _brim (verb): When you fill something until you can't fill it anymore. Sentence with brim: She filled the glass until brimming it.
*contrite (pg. 50): "Simon's contrite face appeared in the hole." Friendly definition of _contrite: When someone feels guilty. Sentence with contrite: A contrite conscience.

Where does the text leave matters uncertain or unstated?

The text doesn't tell us why Simon goes off on his own or why he's the only one helping Ralph build the huts. While Simon goes and wanders off, Ralph and Jack are bickering, like always. Seems as if Ralph doesn't care that much about Simon to go and look or even wonder where he is. Then, he goes and complains about how no one is helping him.

Whose story/perspective is not represented?

Although he is mentioned once in the chapter, Piggy is not in the chapter as much as he was in the first 2 chapters. We don't see how he is helping Jack or Ralph in any way in the chapter. Piggy usually helps Ralph and defends him but we have no clue where he is in the chapter.

Vocabulary and text structure.
• Why may have the author chosen littlun over little one?
Because of the definition of littlun that described a little kid (little + one) and a little animal, Folding might choose this word since this also talk about an irrational being that acts because of its impulses and wilderness, somehow telling the attitude of the kids and how they act in front of some situations. Just as chapter 2 when they act like a bunch of kids running to make fire. Running wild to the open ocean and have fun.

• Where does the text leave matters uncertain or unstated?
The author left unstated Jacks feelings somehow, the fiesta page of the chapter describe the situation that he is going through and how is he acting to it, but about his feeling Ralph tries to talk about it and Jack avoid the statement that he loves hunting, killing; making the reader realize that that is probable that he does love killing, and maybe this could bring a huge problem to the evil topic.
The third name of the Book LOTF named "Huts on the Beach" brings up the importance of feeling related to the place, a home as Ralph said. This represents the human settlement as an adult would do (the evil ones that created the war) and how following the others steps that had made mistakes would bring mistakes.

How do the parts build to a whole?
In chapter 3 it starts off with Jack hunting. When Jack makes it back to camp he argues with how hunting or making shelter is more important. This is important because it starts to build up the tense of leadership between Jack and Ralph as they fight over which is more important they start to drift apart in goals.

This Chapter is named "Huts on the Beach" because the huts are shelter for the kids and because the kids are scared of the beast they need shelter, also the building of shelter causes the argument between Jack and Ralph.

-Where does the text leave matters uncertain or unstated?
---At the end of the chapter three, Piggy is asking about Simon and where he was. Why did he leave and where did he go? Simon went off to be alone. I see Simon as the most curious and aware of all the children on the island. He doesn't have the grown-up, scientific sense of Piggy or the political strength or awareness of Ralph, but he is smart in a more general sense. He has gone away to be alone with himself on this island, to sense what it means to be there, what it smells like and looks like.

-What is revealed about Simon?
---In this chapter, Jack had gone to hunt and Simon stayed back to help Ralph work on building huts.  Simon is the only one out of the group besides Ralph that has stuck with the building of the huts.  The others went to play or explore.  However, as evening draws near Simon is not in camp and the two boys discuss that he has gone off. The boys decide he is odd.  Simon is small and thin. He has long black hair. Simon is very concerned about the Littlluns, the small children on the island.  He expresses concern about their crying in the night.  He takes them on a trek to find fruit and helps to feed them.  He then goes off to hide by himself for a while. We learn that Simon is a caring person but he is also a loner who needs to get away from the others at times and connect with nature.  He has a special peace and goodness in his personality.

3. Declivities "But Jack was pointing to the high declivities that led down from the mountain..." (54): downward slopes, as of a hill.

Questions:
How did the author organize the ideas?
Golding had to create similar ways that a normal citizen would be living and how the boys on the island are living. There has to be moments in when rest is needed to live for another day so huts were add into the story.
How do the parts build to whole?
Since Jack and Ralph want the best for everyone, they would have to agree on some parts with each other. The best way to keep everyone interacting with each other while trying to stay alive, they make sure to make the huts so no one gets lonely without the adults and parents.

The reason the chapter is called "Huts on the Beach" is for a representation of safety in the story. There is little to no safety on a island so it was best to make comfortable as possible while making a plan to get rescued.
