Ch. 7: Shadows and Tall Trees

Analysis:

It is clear that the boys are drifting more and more away from civilization and their old ways to savagery.  For example, while looking for the beast the boys become distracted with looking for a pig.  Furthermore, they all become a little to entertained with killing the pig that they reenact it.  Even Ralph, who seemed like the most civil one, got caught up in the moment.  As a result, they started attacking and hurting one the boys acting as a pig until they realized they were just playing a game.  This shows how the boys are becoming more like savages and starting to attack their own kind.  Overall, I think this will lead to one of the boys getting hurt while they are playing another "game".
