Ch. 8: Gift For The Darkness

Analysis:

The boys have now split into two groups; one with Ralph as the chief and one with Jack as the chief.  This is not good because now the boys are not working together anymore.  As a result, they only care about themselves so to start a fire Jack's group steals sticks from Ralph's group expectantly.  In addition, more and more of the boys are starting to join Jack's group because they think he has more fun and better food.  To me, this will cause more fighting among the boys and make them more savage-like like Jack.  On the other hand Simon starts to hear voices from a dead pig head known as the Lord of the Flies.  In my opinion, this head represents the beast and evil that exists in every person which is starting to come out in all the boys.


    This picture shows the pig that the hunters killed & sacrificed for the beast.  Also, Simon                             later finds himself talking to the head when he is alone in the forest.
