Lord of the Flies Ch.8 & 9

Lord of the Flies
A gift for the Darkness
A view to a Death

The scene where Jack and his hunters create the sacrificial pig head. I think this scene was pretty weird because they track a pig using it's droppings so they had to touch it. How they chased it all the way to the open spot on the island. They do the act for real. How Golding made the scenery where the pig was, how there's nice green grass and flowers. Where they killed the pig is very awkward. If you were to go to an area that is all green and pretty, and you look around and there is this one patch of grass covered with blood. Jack hops on the pig and stabs it. After they kill the pig wildly, Jack says they should leave some for the beast so it wouldn't eat them hopefully. So they leave a piece of the pig for the beast and it happens to be the head. So they put it on a spear and stick it in the ground. And they leave and as soon as they leave. Here comes Simon.

I accuse the group for killing Simon because Simon is a nice guy and they murdered him. He was trying to tell them something. After how Jack says I thought he was the beast. After that the world kept going around and he had no feelings. And how Ralph says we murdered him. They never really took the time to see who or what it was they just attacked it. They say they were scared if they would have looked they wouldn't have been scared. They killed him and this makes me think are we really this crazy.
