But he’s the first to lash out and go crazy out of fear and the desire to be.Jack left the group because he wanted to be the leader/chief and the fear of the beast/evil on the island but he was so consumed of being cleif just to have people. Killing the pig was like a “nice long refreshing drink” (Golding #). They got pleasure out of killing the pig and not paying any attention to the fire.

Most of the boy’s do not care of getting rescued all they care about is surviving and eating meat. Jack and his hunters become obsessed with hunting that there is even a chant that is said when the

In the beginning when Jack had seen the pig he wanted to kill it for food, but it quickly started to annoy Ralph and that's when the conflict begins. Their first fight was about the pig and it continued to get bigger: “I was talking about smoke! Don't you want to be rescued? All you can talk about is pig, pig, pig!” (Golding 54). It soon turned into the conflict of the ship,”His voice was loud and savage, and struck them into silence. ‘ there was a ship’”(Golding 70). Because Jack wanted to hunt the pig so desperately he took his hunters away from the fire and it went out as a ship came by. So because of the want for the pig, they did not get rescued as soon as they could have been.

Lord of the Flies is about a group of boys stranded on an island that must work together to survive and get rescued. At first, civilization still has a firm grasp on the boys, and they have rules to follow and a plan to get rescued. However, as time goes on, lawlessness and savagery begins to set in, as they’re just a pack of boys. The death of two of the wisest boys on the island, Piggy and Simon, shows a real turn of events and signals that the boys have finally turned savage. Evidently, no matter how polished and civilized the boys may seem, at the end of the day when the boys are stripped to their cores, their crueler nature shows.

Thesis Statement: The novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding portrays the theme that regardless of each person’s different background and characteristics, every individual has the ability to commit brutal acts. While this book depicts Ralph and Piggy as the most civilized characters, and Jack and his hunters as young English choir boys, their actions reveal that they all have the capability to act violently.

This made it less likely the fire they had, would be spotted by ships or planes since it was on the beach and could only be seen from one side of the island. When Jack killed the pig, the younger boys shifted their loyalty from Ralph to Jack. They saw Jack as protection from the beast when he was actually more dangerous to them. Jack focused on making the island more comfortable instead of aiding in their rescue.

The classic book Lord of the Flies written by William Golding is a story of a group of schoolboys being stranded on a tropical island during World War II. The three main boys are Jack, Ralph, and Piggy, but there are other boys with them on the island. As the book progresses, our group of protagonists slowly lose their morality and become wild savages. In the story there are three specific pig hunts the group has that canonize their steps to insanity. On the first hunt, three boys come across a piglet caught in the vines. The boys attempt to kill it, but the piglet escapes. During the second hunt, a larger group of boys run into a wild boar, which also escapes. On the third hunt, the groups hunters find a sow feeding her piglets. The boys slaughter the pig and put its head on a pike. Ultimately, the piglet, boar, and sow hunt slowly show the boy's madness progress. This helps to portray Golding’s theme that there is a darkness in every man’s heart.

Food and water are never an issue, but desires for meat, order, and rescue leave the boys divided between savagery and civilization. The ensuing novel is William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Out of the older boys, leaders emerge and focus on the issues of the island, eventually creating a devastating divide. Two of the older boys, Piggy and Simon, are both benevolent, important characters, symbolic of the positive aspects and achievements of man; they must die to reinforce a social hierarchy of human instinct and demonstrate how savagery and contempt

“Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood.” In William Golding’s Lord Of The Flies, the reader can see how that chant turned the once caring and civil boys into savages.

Jack using his hunting skills finds a pig and attempts to catch it but fails. On his way back to the beach he finds Simon and Ralph building shelters by themselves. Ralph begins to get frustrated because the hut he working on keeps falling apart. He states that everyone would be excited about an idea and work on it for a few days but then they lose interest and do their own thing. Jack reminds Ralph that he is chief and he should tell the other boys off. Ralph then pointed out that Jack always goes out to hunt but never bring any meat back. Jack argument is that everyone wants meat and that he will soon catch a pig. Ralph bring up that the little ones are having nightmares at night as a reason to have shelters because it’ll resemble a home

Ralph thinks that the boys should have more order on the island, but Jack only wants to hunt. He invites anyone who just wants to hunt and have fun to come with him; Most of the kids go with him and hunt down a large mother pig and put her head on a stick

Just as a ship is sailing within viewing range of the island, the signal fire goes out and the boys are left stranded, as Ralph goes to investigate the fire. As this was happening Jack had taken the boys off of the fire to go on a hunt, where, the hunt for the pig is described more like a rape scene then anything else. The description of the killing of the pig is intentionally described as that of a rape scene, this serves to show just how savage the boys are already becoming, and as Jack feels accomplished for his kill (he was actually able to kill a living being, signifying his ever-growing savagery) return to the extinguished fire, where they find a furious Ralph. Jack attempts to downplay the whole situation, by stating with great pride that he had gotten meat for everyone, but Ralph was having none of it, bursting out against Jack in rage about the signal fire, and it is revealed even here, that Ralph, who is shown as a good guy, and democratic leader, has a darker side to him. “The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.”
