Chapter 4 summary

Chapter 4 Summary

The boys are getting used to living on the island; there are two group, the littluns and the biguns. The littluns are the smaller kids around 6 and the biguns are all of the big kids around 10 and higher. In this chapter there is foreshadowing of how Jack will act in the rest of the book, Jack paints his face and makes a barbaric chant about killing pigs, and starts to act like a savage. Another important event in this chapter is that Jack goes hunting for pigs and takes the boys who are watching the fire on top of the mountain with him, but while he is out hunting the fire goes out and a ship comes near the island and leaves. I think this event symbolises that Jack has given up on any rescue and is focusing more on surviving on the island by reverting to his ancestory.

Really outstanding opinion about the Jack's thought. But I think you can add more details about the part when Ralph have a quarrel about the fire. That is a foreshadowing for the break up between Jack and Ralph. Really impressive thoughts about Jack.

Well, good summary! Let others clearly know what's going on now.
I think you may add some more detail description about how Ralph acts when he found there's a ship went by but the fire goes out.
