Fire on the Mountain

This chapter deals with 2 issues:
1. The nature of the 'beast'.
2. The goals of the society or community that Ralph has created.

We will be discussing the following questions in our lesson tomorrow:
1. What changes have taken place in the community in this chapter?
2. What are the goals of this society? Are they reasonable? How do they go about achieving them?
3. How is Ralph's government working?
4. What do you think the beast is?
5. What caused the out-of-control fire in your estimation?
6. What do you think happened to the small boy with a "mark on his face"?

Be prepared to present your opinions and have them challenged tomorrow in class.

Good Luck.
