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<

Chapter 7 Summary

       Chapter 7 is talking about the journey hunting down the beast. While the boys stop to eat as they are on their journey, Ralph gazed at the ocean and found out that it is impossible for them to be rescued, and how the other boys are becoming barbarians. Simon came and gives Ralph the spirit that they will be able to get home. Later on, Jack decides to hunt pigs while they are on their way to hunt down the beast. The other boys agreed and tracked down a large boar. Ralph, who has never been in hunting, quickly caught up with the atmosphere. Although Ralph didn't catch the boar, he was excited about his battle achievement on hurting the boar with his spear. The boys went madness, and decide to reenact the hunting. In the meantime, the boys nearly killed the boy who played the boar. Robert, who played the part, suggests them to use a real boar instead of him. Jack came out with the idea of using littluns to play the boar. Ralph tries to remind everyone that it is just a game. Simon went back to tell Piggy and the littluns that they will not return until that night. When it gets dark, Ralph suggested that they should start in the morning, because it is harder to hunt at night. But Jack dares Ralph if he has the courage to climb up the mountain with him and hunt down the beast. In order to remain his role as a chief, he agrees. As Ralph, Jack, and Roger climb up the mountain, Jack went up alone to check first. Jack returns and was terrified by what he saw above, Ralph and Roger went up and saw the horrible beast which looks like a giant ape, the boys ran down for help.

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.

CHAPTER2 summary

When the explorers return, the boys get into another meeting on the beach. Ralph tells the group that there are no adults on the island and that they need to organize a few things to look after themselves. Ralph declares that whoever holds the conch shell will speak, and the others will listen silently until they receive the shell in their turn. A small boy with a mulberry-colored mark on his face says that he saw a snakelike “beastie” the night before. The older boys say that the little boy’s vision was only a nightmare. Ralph proposes that the group build a large signal fire on the top of the mountain in order to be rescued. Others agree and use Piggy’s specs to light the fire. Piggy angrily declares that the boys need to act more proficiently if they want to get off the island, but his word carry little weight. Finally, he finds that the little boy with mulberry-colored on his face is missing.

Ralph complained about doing all the work by himself and Jack not catching one pig. Although Jack claims that they will catch one soon, Ralph protested that his hunters use hunting for excuses to excape from works. He questioned Jack if he noticed that the littluns are having nightmares and hard to get to sleep. Ralph pointed out that all the people are all excited about discussing, but not willing to fullfil the plans. Ralph thinks that Jack is just the same like the others, not willing to work, none of the other boys besides Simon will help him.They went swimming together in the lagoon, trying to be united, but failed. Simon went walking by himself, he helped the littluns reach the fruits that they can't. He found a beautiful jungle full with flowers and birds.
