Chapter 11; Castle Rock

1. Piggy says that Ralph should blow the conch and call an assembly with the boys, even though they are savages.
2. Piggy told Jack to give his glasses back to him for 3 reasons; they belong to him, its the right thing to do, and that once Jack too them he couldn't see anything.
3. Ralph says that they should look like when they first got to the island when they approach Jack's tribe. To show that they are more civilized and sophisticated.
4. When the boys approached Castle Rock Roger challenged them.
5. When Jack appears he is carrying a beheaded and paunched sow that he had killed.
6. Ralph called Jack a thief for stealing Piggy's glasses.
7. After the fight the savages were ordered to tie up Samneric.
8. When the fight came to a cessation and Piggy was pleading for order again Roger was throwing pebbles at Piggy and Samneric. He missed on purpose though.

I believe that Roger is responsible for Piggy's death since he was the one who let the boulder loose from the hill. From what I read in the previous chapters I could tell that Roger was becoming delirious with the hunger to hurt something, or someone. He was also becoming even more evil as each day passes; like when he was throwing stones at people, we all knew he wanted to hurt something was strong but he couldn't really bring himself to do so before. He was itching to hurt someone so bad that he pushed the boulder off the cliff on purpose, knowing that it would hurt someone at the bottom, not caring who it was. He also knew that Piggy was blind and couldn't defend himself against the boulder even if he knew it was coming. He wasn't really fond of Piggy, and neither was Jack, who was the closest thing to a friend Roger had. With all that evidence given Roger wouldn't feel bad about truculently killing Piggy, in fact he might even be happier with out him around
