Lord of the Flies Chapters 8-12 Review Sheet
Answer the following questions to the best of your ability. You do NOT have
to write in complete sentences.
Chapter 8
1) How do the rest of the boys react to Jack’s suggestion that Ralph be replaced as
leader? How does Jack respond?
Most of the boys will not openly vote for Jack to replace Ralph as leader even
though they would rather have fun than do work. Jack responds by saying he’s
“not going to play any longer.” And then he storms off down the beach, inviting
anyone who wants to hunt with him (and become part of his tribe) to come find
him.
2) What does Simon say they should do? How do the others react?
Simon says they should climb the mountain to restart the fire. The others make
fun of him. They don’t want to go up the mountain when they don’t know what’s
lurking up there.
3) What is the Lord of the Flies? Why is it appropriately named?
The Lord of the Flies is literally a dead pig’s head on a stick. It attracts flies
because it’s rotting flesh. Figuratively the Lord of the Flies represents the beast,
or the devil. It lives in all things and can cause great evil.
4) Explain why most of the boys seem so willing to become a member of Jack’s tribe.
The boys enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the reward of delicious pig meat. They
also like that they are allowed to play and do whatever they feel like doing.
Chapter 9
5) What does Simon find on the mountain-top? What news does he want to tell the
others?
Simon finds the dead parachutist and frees his parachute ropes from the rocks so
that the parachutist’s body will stop moving. He wants to tell the others that the
“beast” is harmless.
6) Compared to Ralph’s form of leadership, what is noticeably different about
Jack’s?
Jack rules with the promise of fun, but in reality, he provides a reign of terror.
People are punished for disagreeing with him or disobeying his orders. He makes
people call him “chief” instead of his name.
