Ch. 4: Painted Faces And Long Hair

Analysis:

In my opinion, this chapter helps reveal some of the boy’s true colors.  For example, Jack shows that he only cares about hunting and killing a pig rather than admitting he should have kept the fire going instead.  Jack also reveals an obsessive and barbaric side of himself because he can not stop talking about killing the pig and thinking how great it was to kill it.  Also, the older boys show that they think they are better than the younger ones since they destroyed their sand castles and bullied them.  Overall, a lot of the boy’s personalities are starting to come out which reveal what they really are like.   



This reminds me of how Jack is obsessed with trying to kill a pig.  In addition, it shows how he represents evil & death
