Chapter 7

The boys agree and quickly track a large boar, which leads them on a wild chase. Ralph, who has never been on a hunt before, quickly gets caught up in the exhilaration of the chase. He excitedly flings his spear at the boar, and though it glances off the animal’s snout, Ralph is thrilled with his marksmanship nonetheless. 

Although the boar escapes, the boys remain in a frenzy in the aftermath of the hunt. Excited, they reenact the chase among themselves with a boy named Robert playing the boar. They dance, chant, and jab Robert with their spears, eventually losing sight of the fact that they are only playing a game. Beaten and in danger, Robert tries to drag himself away. The group nearly kills Robert before they remember themselves.

Darkness falls, and Ralph proposes that they wait until morning to climb the mountain because it will be difficult to hunt the monster at night. Jack challenges Ralph to join the hunt, and Ralph finally agrees to go simply to regain his position in the eyes of the group.

Chapter 8

Ralph slips into a depression, but Piggy cheers him up with an idea: they should build a new signal fire, on the beach rather than on the mountain. Piggy’s idea restores Ralph’s hope that they will be rescued. The boys set to work and build a new fire, but many of them sneak away into the night to join Jack’s group.

Jack gathers his new tribe and declares himself the chief. In a savage frenzy, the hunters kill a sow. The boys leave the sow’s head on a sharpened stake in the jungle as an offering to the beast. Simon sits alone in the clearing, staring with rapt attention at the impaled pig’s head,  now swarming with flies. It even seems as if the head comes to life. It speaks to Simon in the voice of the “Lord of the Flies,” declaring that Simon will never be able to escape him, for he lies within all human beings. He also promises to have some “fun” with Simon.

Piggy, who was not on the mountain the night before, is baffled by the other boys’ claims to have seen the monster. Jack seizes the conch shell and blows into it clumsily, calling for an assembly. Jack tells the others that there is definitely a beast on the mountain and goes on to claim that Ralph is a coward who should be removed from his leadership role. The other boys, however, refuse to vote Ralph out of power.

Jenny Puchovier was so excited.  She had a pack of Starburst in her lunch and she had been looking forward to eating them all morning.  Lunch finally came and Jenny sat down to eat her Starbursts when her friend Yudy sat next to her.  “Let me get the pink ones,” asked Yudy.  Jenny liked the pink ones best, but she thought Yudy was funny and Jenny wanted Yudy to like her, so Jenny gave Yudy all of her pink Starbursts.  Before Jenny was done giving Yudy the pink ones, Carrie sat on the other side of Jenny.  “Let me get the red and the orange ones, Jenny.  Remember when I gave you that Snickers?”  Jenny didn’t remember that, though she did remember when Carrie ate a whole Snickers in front of her, but Jenny thought Carrie was cool, so she gave her the red and the orange Starbursts.  Now that she only had the yellow ones, Jenny wasn’t so excited about eating starbursts anymore.

Story 1

What is the theme in story 1? (you can also choose to answer in Dutch!)

What is theme?

Life lesson, meaning, moral, or message about life or human nature that is communicated by a literary work.

In other words…
Theme is what the story teaches readers.

Theme

A theme is not a word, it is a sentence.
You don’t have to agree with the theme to identify it.

Examples

Money can’t buy happiness.
Don’t judge people based on the surface.
It is better to die free than live under tyranny.

Themes are not explicit (clearly stated).
Themes are implied.

Themes are bigger than the story.

Story 2

Once there was a mean little boy who lived in a small village.  This mean little boy loved to mess with people, so one day he ran up to a sheep herder and shouted, “WOLF!  WOLF!  A wolf is attacking the town!”  The sheep herder grabbed his staff and ran to defend the town, but realized he had been fooled when the boy started pointing and laughing at him.  “Ha ha!  I made you jump,” said the boy.  Then the boy ran up to a farmer and shouted, “WOLF!  WOLF!  A wolf is attacking the town!”  The farmer grabbed his pitchfork and ran to defend the town, but when the boy started pointing and laughing at him, he realized he had been tricked.  As the boy went back to his family’s farm laughing about the funny trick he played, he saw a real wolf in his father’s chicken coop.  As the wolf ate all of his father’s chickens, the boy screamed over and over again, “WOLF!  WOLF!  Please help us!”  But nobody came to help him.

Story 3

Jenny hated reading class.  She didn’t understand point of view or figurative language, and not knowing how to do the work frustrated her.  She asked the teacher for help, but he spoke so fast and used such big words that she still couldn’t understand.  The teacher asked if she understood, and she nodded her head, but she didn’t.  Jenny’s friend Katie knew that Jenny was having trouble, and, rather than just giving Jenny all of the answers, Katie explained to Jenny how to solve the problems.  Katie spoke clearly and at Jenny’s level, and Jenny was happy that she finally learned how to do the work.  Later in the week, Katie was having trouble in math class.  She didn’t understand coordinates and was really frustrated.  Seeing that Katie was having problems, Jenny, who understood math very well, taught Katie coordinates.  Both girls made honor roll that quarter.

Theme

Hoeveel vertrouwen heb je er nu in dat je zelf een "theme" kan afleiden uit een verhaal?
