The cry of the hunters.

Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters
Perspective: Piggy

Last night I hid in the thicket, near the ferns where he slept. Samneric gave me some of the meat from their "new tribes" meal. Yes, Samneric were forced to join Jack’s tribe. But they told me that Roger prepared another stick sharpened at both ends for me. But I didn't understandwhat that meant.

They told me that Jack’s tribe were gonna form a cordon and and start marching through the jungle to try to find me. And it happened to! They were chasing All through the jungle! When I got to the beach, I saw a naval officer in white drill and wearing many epaulettes.

Jack and his hunters were chasing me and appeared on the beach with his hunters right after me. Persival tried to introdues himself, but he forgot his name when he was talking to the officer. That is how long we've been stuck on this island.

I realised that I was responsible and started sobbing. The officer, who thought that us british boys would be able to go longer without turning on each other, felt sorry for me. So now on the ride back, he let me sit in the front with him, while all the other boys are crammed in the back.

Charter 10 – The Shell and the Glasses

“Why Jack is the Protagonist”

Perspective: Simon

The morning after my leaving of their world, Ralph and Piggy met up on the beach. They felt horrible for their behavior the previous night. Piggy couldn’t admit to himself that he played a part in my death. He stated it all as complete accident. But Ralph, laughing hysterically and holding the conch to regain control, said that there was no escaping it and they had been participants in a murder. Piggy started whining and denying the charge.

The way that Jack rules his tribe is just horrible to watch. Especially the treatment of Wilfred. What was the point of tying him to a rock and just beating the crap out if him? Nothing. There was no point. Except Jack showing that he was the “King” of his new tribe and forcing the kids to wait on him hand and knee! And then Jack won’t even take responsibility for my murder! He just referred to me as a beast “in disguise”. He thinks He knows what a beast is. I know what a beast is. I had to stand face to face with it! Actually, Jack is the only one on the island who hasn’t seen a beast on this island. Everyone else sees one when they talk to him and have to look into those evil blue eyes!

I was standing right beside them and I heard Jack Maurice and Roger talking about needing fire more than the others did. They thought they had more power now, and they needed to cook the meat that the hunters killed for them. They realized that the tool for fire making was with Ralph so Jack ordered his tribe to attacked Ralph, Piggy, and Samn’eric. I couldn’t warn them. I’m no longer a part of their lives, just their memory. It was unnecessary, seeing that Ralph and Piggy would of course be willing to share the fire with the boys if they had asked, but Jack just wanted to show the power that he had over Ralph. I’m glad I got off this island before this happened, because I would have been on Ralph’s side, and I would not want the hunters to beat me up.

Chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness

In this scene, Simon finds the sacrificial pig head that the hunters gave as an offering to the “beastie”. Hours later, the pig head has started to rot and decay, and when Simon finds it, it is swarming with flies. Simon had slipped away from the camp and returned to his chapel. When he finds the pig’s head on the stake sits there, staring with it. The sight mesmerizes him, and it even seems as if the head comes to life. The head speaks to Simon as “Lord of the Flies,” stating that Simon will never be able to escape him, or get rid of him. Because he is the beast, and he lives in all us. He yells that Simon the boys are going to have fun on this island! Actual fun. Terrified ghost, Simon faints, as we heard in the beginning of the book that he usually does. I think that this is creepy because it’s like the devil living within us all. The lord of the flies in a way is the devil, seeing that he is the evil in us.

Chapter 9: A View to a Death

I’d like to say that it was Jacks fault, and put all the blame on him, but I can’t, considering that it was the faults of all the boys doing their tribal dance, even Ralph and Piggy. Of course, if Jack had not split from the group, then they wouldn’t have been dancing and they wouldn’t have mistaken Simon for the beast in disguise. So in a way, it is Jack’s fault.

It says that in the boy’s wild state, they do not recognize Simon and start ripping him part, for fear that he is the beast. The wild state was brought on by the wild dance that Jack had them do in the rain, therefore stating that it was Jack bringing the wild state on them. But he never told them to kill Simon, that was all the boys.

It also states that the pilot scares the boys away. They run into the Darkness away from it. I would believe the this means boy’s were in a frenzied state, tired and full of energy that the pig meat gave them. So ultimately, it was their fault.

So it is Jack’s fault for splitting the group and starting a new tribe, accident because of the boy’s fear of the beast, and the fault of the boys as a whole for going crazy and killing Simon.

• I speared a pig! I speared a pig! I mean, it didn't DIE, but I hit it! I hit it! I hit it! And now I know the rush that Jack gets when he goes hunting! Then Robert went down on all fours and we started pretending to kill him and we stabbed him with the but ends of the spear. It was so funny!
• Jack suggested we could get someone to dress up as a pig and then we could pretend to kill him. But then Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. Then Jack suggested that we use a littleun' as a substitute. And honestly, that's gonna kill them!
• So tonight we found the beastie! It's funny, I didn't think that it actually existed! but I'm sure that it's real now that we heard it crumpling through the creepers and saw it swaying back and forth!
• I can't wait till we get off this island. I want to get my hair cut, clean my nails really well, and take a nice warm bath. A real one with soap.

Lord of the Flies
Beasts From Air
"Stupid Samn'eric"
Perspective: Jack

What sign comes down from the grown up world?
Ther was a plane that got shot down. The aviator evacuated, but he did something wrong because he was dead when we finally found him.

Why aren’t the boys aware of it?
We all were afraid that the beastie was alive. That's why Sam ‘n Eric were so terrified.

How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?
They say that he has wings and fans and claws and that it was the beasts claws that cut Erics cheak. But they must have been lying because there is no beastie. Just a dad aviator pilot.

What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
They are afraid that it's gonna get them. But they don't wan't to go to the fire where Sam 'n Eric first thought they saw it, they took us to the places where we haven't been.

Is there really a beast? How do you know?
There isn't a beastie. It's just the kids being afraid of the island.

Why do you really not care about being rescued?
Once were home, this will all end. I won't be able to have a prominent role over the kids and have them give me any respect. That will all go to the grown-ups.

Chapter 5 – Beasts from Water

“Ralph vs. Jack”

Perspective: Simon

Why is an assembly called?

Because Ralph was upset.

What concerns are brought up?

Well, Ralph wasn’t happy with how people were not doing their jobs. Like filling up the coconuts with water, when we worked on the huts it was just him n’ me, the hunters aren’t taking care of the fire, people are going to the bathroom anywhere they please, then that is making the fruit dirty.

How do you feel about those concerns?

I feel just as strongly as Ralph does! These things need to happen! Whether we like it or not, we adults following us around anymore.

How are things breaking up (falling apart)?

Well, right now there is a rivalry between Jack and Ralph. Personally, even though I am a choirboy, witch also makes me a hunter, I agree with Ralph. He is our chief and has all the right ideas. If we let Jack be chief, everyone will be forced to be a hunter, and we’ll never be rescued because we won’t have a fire on the mountain.

Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep?

Well, their afraid of the island and of what they don’t know. They think that there is a Beastie somewhere on the island.

What was Percival Wemys Madison afraid of?

He said that He thinks that the beastie comes from the water. That shook us all and made us stair at the lagoon and the bathing pool and the endless amount of water around us.

What do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?

We have a lot of dirty qualities, but I think the worst is all of our wanting of things we don’t have and don’t need
