Who Said It?
- Be able to look at an important quotation from the novel and be able to explain who said it and why it is an important line from the story.
I think the end was so unsatifying. The boys just killed two people and where in the process of killing a third when he was saved by a navy captain. They should have had to atone for their actions. It would have been a good ending if Ralph explained what was happening to the captain and he left everyone ecept Ralph behind. What do you think?
