News Report on Simon's death (Article B)

Tragedy happens on island

A boy being killed by partners by accident

Cedric Hsieh Western News Reporter

A boy named Simon, who was trapped on a island was accidentally killed by his friends thinking he was the beast on the island. After a few weeks, the boys were rescued by the navy.

A group of boys, who were on their way for escaping the attack from Wold War II. Their plane crashed because it was attacked, and landed on this deserted island.

The boys were organized in duties on the island, the main duty is to hunt for foods. Simon helped the group in building huts.

According to the boys, they believed that there was a beast on the island. On a stormy night, while the boys were having a feast, they saw a black shadow coming out from the forest. They attacked the thing, and did not realize that the thing was Simon. So they accidentally killed him by thinking he was the beast.

Ralph, who was there while the accident happen, blamed himself for not stopping the accident to happen. "I was there, I should had stop them", said Ralph, who busted into tears.

After the boys are back in London, they will be put in court.

SUPPLEMENTARY Task VIII

1. Ralph encounters a naval officer on the beach and the boys get rescued
2. Jack and his tribe try to kill Ralph and they burn the whole forest in order to smoke Ralph out of the jungle.
3.Simon's death.
4. Piggy's death.


The most important event I chose is Ralph encounters a naval officer on the beach and the boys get rescued.The main task for the boys on the island is to be rescued. This is the end of the story. The moment when the boys see the naval officer on the beach, hunting, pigs, power, those things are not important any more. The officer says that he is unable to understand how upstanding British lads could have acted with such poor form.The boys realized how evil their behaviors are.Even Ralph, whose life has been saved by the presence of the ship, weeps tears of grief rather than joy. For Ralph, as the other boys, nothing can ever be as it was vefore coming to the island of the Lord of the Flies.

CHAPTER 9

In this chapter the boys is separated into 2 groups. There's Jack's group and Ralph's group Jack left the main group because he think that Ralph think that the boys are cowards. He also think that Ralph is not working hard enough and he should be leader of the boys.

Jack's group still piggy's glasses to make fire. Simon is finally going to discover what the beast. the boys down the mountain started chanting and reacting the moment when they killed the pig. When Simon came down to tell everyone about the beast they though he was the beast so they stab him with the stick and killed him. Everybody was really sad and there's was only Piggy and Ralph left in the group.

Movie vs Book

Comparing/Contrasting

The last half of the movie was effective in the sense that the overall plot and meaning were the same as the book, even though it lacked some key events that happened in the book. Some of the key events that it missed or changed were; When Simon talked to the 'Lord of the Flies,' (pg. 157, 158, and 159 in the book) this event symbolizes the savagery of Jack (for putting the pigs head on the stick) the very unstable state of Simon's mind (because he thought he was talking to the pigs head) and it also reveals Simon likes the two boys Jack and Ralph. In the movie Simon just stares at the pigs head, which does not show his madness. Another important event that was not in the movie was when Jack flung his spear at Ralph and hit him in the side of the ribs ripping off some flesh (pg. 201 in the book), this symbolizes Jack total transformation into a violent savage. In the movie they replace this with Ralph running away from Jack after Piggy is killed, this is not nearly as effective because it does not show you that Jack hates Ralph a lot and wants to kill him and that Jack has lost his humanity and become a savage. There were also some other parts of the book that were changed or missing in the movie but they are insignificant to the meaning and plot of the story. Overall the Movie was effective because it showed how eventually every boy who was on the island was with Jacks tribe (Piggy was murdered by Jacks tribe and Sam and Erik were captured) except Ralph. Jacks tribe hunted Ralph (a reference is on pg.209), and when rescue came the boys realized how dark and violent humanity was. >Nick<

Savage kills the boy

A boy was killed because the savage of human

Cedric Hsieh Daily Mercury Reporter

During World War Two, a group of British boys were in a plane accident, and crashed in an unmanned island. While they were having a feast, they accidentally killed their companion by thinking he was the beast they were afraid of.

One of the boys, named Piggy said, “It was dark. There was that- that bloody dance. There was lighting and thunder and rain. We was scared!"

According to Piggy, Simon was a different boy comparing to the others. "Coming in the dark-he had no business crawling like that out of the dark. He was batty. He asked for it." said Piggy with furry in his eyes.

The boys who killed Simon didn't notice what they had attacked during the feast. They just want violence and fun on the island. The boys lost their minds and their ability to maintain civilization just in a few weeks. This event shows the concern towards the future of our society.

Chapter11 Summary

Ralph and the rest of the group try to light the fire, but without Piggy's glasses it is hopeless. Ralph hold a meeting by blowing the conch to discuss their problems. They decided to travel to Castle Rock to consult and discuss with Jack. Ralph takes the conch with him in order to prompt Jack and his followers his authority. After arriving, Ralph blows the conch, but the guards throw stones at them. Unexpectedly, Jack and a group of hunters appear from the hunting with a dead pig. Jack asks Ralph to leave his territory, and Ralph asks Jack to give back Piggy's glasses. Jack and Ralph fight, Ralph struggles to make Jack and his group remember the importance of the fire. Jack orders his hunters to capture Sam and Eric and tie them up. This made Ralph really angry, after fighting for a few minutes, Piggy tries to speak, trying to remind the others the importance of rules. When Piggy hold the conch while he speaks, Roger shoves a boulder to strike them. Ralph hears the sound and dodges it, but Piggy got hit by it. Piggy died, and shatters the conch he is holding. Jack attacks Ralph, and the other boys join, too. Ralph escapes, and Roger and Jack begin to torture Sam and Eric, to force them join the tribe.
