Lord of the Flies

what is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of this novel make you feel?

I am not sure where the climax part of this novel is, but I think the climax part of this novel is part where kids on the island divides into two different groups. Since I learned climax is that part where main character make a great decision and that great decision can not be returned, I think this part is where main characters, Ralph and Jack, make great decision to divide into two different groups being enemies and can not go back and regroup together because Jack's group had refused what Ralph had said and they have a opposite thoughts. Jack think that hunting is the most important thing and Ralph think that building house and keep fire so that they can be rescued by the adults are the most important. After they had divided into two groups, Jack's group had killed, steal and do all kinds of things for his benefit. This part of events of the Lord of the Flies makes me feel that Jack's group had become too savage and little bit scary. This part make me think that Jack's group is too savage because they acts like a native people at that island. They hunt beasts, dance, put paints on their face, and even kill others group people like the natives. This part also make me scary because I can not imagine how can a person I know kills another person I know not because of revenge or something like that, but just for that person's own benefit. After I read climax part of the story, I once more realized the importance of the choosing right decision.
