* what is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of this novel make you feel?

The climax happened when the tension of Ralph and Jack ends up to the highest point. Because there was a big conflict of being against each other for leadership, tension was built up. From the beginning, Ralph was voted to be the leader of the group to rule over in the island. Jack as really jealous about it and tried to get more attention of kids to put himself as a leader. In the whole story, you can see what Jack was trying to do in the every part of it. Jack always opposed Ralph and tried to gather people by hunting the animals. Jack’s effort was getting more and more and the conflict got higher. So almost at the end part, Ralph’s follower, Piggy got killed and Jack and his followers tried to kill Ralph too. Ralph had no one to be with and Jack was in the charge of the island. When I read up the climax part, I felt really ironic and weird because it seemed so incredible to see kids’ actions of fighting. The little kids tried to kill each other for their desire of power and force to rule. Actually, it was so realistic in the story that made readers feel horrified and astonished. Author showed the characteristic of human being dreadfully well so that readers usually indicated it the truth in our world.
