Here are two Level‑2 (comprehension/interpretation) questions based on Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies, with brief notes on what a good answer should include:
1. Explain why Jack decides to leave Ralph’s group and form his own tribe. What reasons does he give, and how do the other boys react?
- Expected points: Jack feels undermined as chief, is obsessed with hunting and power, argues that Ralph can’t protect them from the beast; some boys are attracted to his promise of meat and freedom and follow him, showing a split in loyalties.
2. Describe Simon’s encounter with the “Lord of the Flies” (the pig’s head). What message does he get from it, and how does he interpret that message?
- Expected points: Simon hallucinates a conversation with the severed pig’s head, which implies the beast is part of the boys themselves (“I’m part of you”); Simon understands that the real danger is the darkness within human nature rather than an external monster.
