12/10 LOF reading focus update

             Jack starts to change some after a while. In chapter five, Jack is really mean to Piggy. They are all talking about the beast and how they feel about it, and when Piggy tries to talk Jack interupts him by saying, "Who cares what you believe-Fatty" (90). This really upsets Piggy, and makes him sad. Piggy does nothing wrong to Jack and he is just mean to him. Later on, in chapter seven Jack starts to change a little, and for the better. While they are out looking for the beast Piggy is left to watch the littluns. They all notice that it will be a while until they get back to Piggy, and Jack says "we mustn't let anything happen to Piggy, must we" (117).
            Then, we start to have another change, but this time for the worst. Jack and his people go onto Ralph's side of the island and steal stuff. At first Ralph and Piggy think they took the conch, but they soon realized they took Piggy's glasses. Ralph and Piggy go onto Jack's side to talk to him, but he doesn't really care about them. Piggy makes Jack made by calling him a thief repeatedly. Piggy starts to hold up the conch so that everyone will listen, which didn't end too well. All of the sudden, "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee" the conch was now broken. "Piggy said nothing, with no time for even a grunt, traveled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went." (181).  Jack has now killed Piggy.
