"Cry of the Hunters"


In the chapter "Cry of the Hunters", Ralph hides in the forest and tries to understand everything that has happened on the island, including the death of Piggy and Simon. He comes across the Lord of the Flies and breaks the pig's skull and uses the stake and a spear for protection against Jack. Later that night he goes up to Castle Rock to realize that Samneric are guarding the entrance. They give Ralph food but refuse to join him. They tell him that they are planning to attack and find him tomorrow. Ralph decides to sleep in a thicket because they wont find him there. When he wakes up in the morning he hears talking and realizes that Jack is torturing one of the twins so that way he will tell them where Ralph is hiding. Jack and his boys try to send a boulder in the thicket. This does not work, so they set the island on fire to try and smoke him out. Ralph tries to run through the tribe and finds himself hiding in some underbrush. They find him here so he keeps running down to the beach. He realizes that there is a naval officer standing over him. All of the boys, including Jack and his tribe realize that they all went crazy on the island, and they cry as they try to get themselves together because they know that they are being rescued.
