The climax of the story is the part right after Jack finds Ralph in the bushes in chapter twelve. This is the plot because it starts the huge rush and Ralph's last desperate attempt to get away from Jack and ultimately leads to the resolution of the book.
The climax of the novel was when Simon encounters the sow’s head. That moment indicated that a lot of bad events would happen. For example, the death of Simon and Piggy happened right after the meeting with the Lord of the Flies. Then, the boys went hunting for Ralph. Everything went okay until the head appeared and talked to Simon. The head really said he was the beast tearing society apart.
I agree with Kevin. The climax of the story is when Jack is hunting down Jack and is about to kill him when the navel officer appears. I disagree with Ahra the climax of the story is not when Simon encounters the sow's head. That's one of the events because after he talks to him he goes back to the camp and gets killed. That's a situation that happened, but necessarily the climax.
I think that the climax of the story is when Simon realizes the truth about the beast and he goes up to Castle Rock to tell the other boys but they end up killing him in their ritual dance.
This is the climax of the story because that is when on person in the book realizes about the truth, which could help them, but they kill the only person that actually knows and is realizing the truth. Simon represents an importnat rolein the book which is Christ and when they kill him is when the boys truly show that they are falling into savage people instead of a civilizatioin. And from them on is when the real big problems that to arise.
Ahra and Hani's idea about Simon's meeting with the Lord of the Flies as being the climax is interesting because it is true that if Simon had actually been able to tell the boys then things would have become solutioned, but it actually only increases to the actual climax which is when Ralph is the prey that is being hunted down by Jack's tribe. This is the climax because it is like the final battle and confrontation. Piggy and Simon are no longer there and Samneric were forced into joining Jack's tribe, so finally Ralph is alone against everyone else, and if he dies then chaos and savagery triumphs.
I agree with Jesica that the climax in Lord of the Flies is when Ralph is being hunted by Jack's tribe. This part is the climax because this is where all the problems start. One problem is when Jack had put on fire the island. Also, Jack's tribe started to chase Ralph. These things have caused problems for Ralph because if he makes a mistake or gets caught, he will be killed. Later on, there's the resolution where the navy officer comes to rescue them which brings an ending to the story.
The climax of the story is shown as the forest burns and Ralph is running for dear life. You figure that when he is winded on the beach, he will die, and that is when the intensity is at its highest point.
Reading this can actually give the reader a sense of the adrenalin rush like the one Ralph had.
You don't know what could happen, and then he is disappointingly saved.
Still, leading up to that was very climatic.
I don't, however, think there was a climax when Simon talked to the Lord of the Flies. It was boorish and unflattering.
I dissagree with everyone.
The climax of the story is the killing of Simon, which announces the official breal in the fine line between or society and our instincts and our nature.
This is the climax of the story and everything from there on, although it may be slow, goes downhill.
I disagree with everyone.
The climax of the story is when Piggy is murdered by Roger because it is Ralph's last chance at order and the conch is destroyed symbolizing the end of civilization.
