Chapter 10 Questions

1. Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric all say that they didn't see the others kill Simon. They claim to have been on the outside of the circle which is a lie. "Don't let on we was in that dance. Not to Samneric" (Piggy 157). They just don't want to feel to blame for the death of Simon. Piggy convinces Ralph that they were scared and didn't know what to do and that Simon's death was an accident. "It was an accident"(Piggy 157).
2. One difference between Ralph and Jack's explanation for Simon's death is Jack states that it was the beast in disguise and Ralph knows that it was Simon. "He came-disguised"(Jack 160).  Another difference is that Ralph now believes that it was an accident and Jack knows that it was intentional. "It was an accident"(Piggy 157).
3. Based on Jack's order to have Wilfred beaten I can conclude that Jack has become completely savage and has gone crazy with killing. "I don't know. He didn't say. He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up"(Robert 159).
