Lord of the Flies
Chapter 7:Shadows and Tall Trees
"Surround him! Quick!"
Perspective:Jack

What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.

After we almost caught a pig we play a game were Robert is the pig and we try to kill him first we huddle around him. Once he is all covered we hit him with the end of our spears. Some how Ralph spears a boar but it got away. The boys were being very bravado during the hunt. Which was perfect because that means they were excited. where we were hunting it was very moors. I think the boys think I am sagely for thinking up how to kill a pig with the circle move.

Jack suggests, “You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act, you know, pretend to knock me over and all that.” Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?

Later Robert says we have to use a real pig because we can kill it for real. Which I think was impervious idea. Instead I suggest that we use a littlun. I think this means another person might be killed but I am not going to point any fingers.

What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)

The boys and I find a beast like thing kinda dun. Almost not alive. But the kids are go gullible because first they believed the twins Sam n Eric.

Why do you hate Ralph so much? Why won’t you talk it over with him?

I don't like Ralph because all he cares about is the littluns, or the huts, fire, and the bathroom. Which he does not understand is that hunting is first on the list. Then when we try to go hunt he has to make a game plan to what we are going to do. I won't talk to him about it because he does not need help being leader. Maybe if the load of cheif is too musch he wll give it to me instead. Then all of use will survive on the island.
