Chapter 8 summary

In chapter 8 the group of boys led by Ralph break into two, one of the groups is led by Jack and one led by Ralph. At the start of the chapter Ralph makes fun of Jacks hunters and then Jack calls a meeting and declares he doesn't want Ralph to be chief. None of the boys agree with him so he goes off by himself, as the day goes on boys from Ralph's group go to join Jack. After other boys join Jack they go hunting, kill a pig, and stick its head on a stake. Simon who is hidin near by and watches them hallucinates and goes a little crazy when he sees the pigs head, he thinks it talks to him until he eventually falls unconcious. When he wakes up he finds the 'beastie' and finds out it is a dead pilot, then Simon goes to find the others.
Jacks group and Ralph's are very different from each other, Ralph's group establishes another fire and tries to get rescued while Jack's group hunts and has 'fun.' One of the thing that creates conflict between the groups and what I think will eventually lead to violence is that Jack's group needs fire and the only way to get it is to steal it from Ralphs group. >Nick<
