In Lord of the Flies how successful is Jack on the second hunt?
In the novel 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding, Jack feels frustrated and thwarted because he was unable to hunt down and kill a pig. After trying a second time, and failing again, he feels much worse. He feels foolish, feeble and unmanly and probably thinks everyone is watching to see how well he does. When he returns empty-handed he feels very angry at himself, at the pig that got away and at anyone else in the nearby vicinity. His anger will overspill onto those nearest him. Ralph unfortunately draws attention to the fact, and also praises Simon at the same time, for his friendship, helpfulness and loyalty in building the shelters. Jack may feel a slur here on his behavior, and may feel wounded by an unspoken comparison to Simon.
What makes you feel safe?
what makes me feel safe is: my family, the lord, and my house.
In Lord of the Flies why does Ralph lie about their contribution to Simon's death?
I don't think that Ralph deliberately lies. I think that Ralph is so traumatised by what he experienced that he finds it difficult to come to terms with it. Ralph does actually say to Piggy things such as you didn't see what they did and it was murder, so he isn't denying what happened, he just doesn't want to relive the experience by discussing it with Samneric and apparently they feel the same way.
Lord of the Flies why does the narrator say that the mask compels the twins to follow Jack?
they are different people when they wear the masks. they feel more primitive, when they see jack in the mask they see a different boy one who is strong and savage
What does ralph do to make jack feel better and what is compromised?
In "Lord of the Flies," Ralph tries to make Jack feel better about losing the leadership role to him by allowing him to be in charge of the Choir Boys. Ultimately, this is a mistake, because it immediately separated boys who would loyal to Jack rather than him in the group.
