"Gift for the Darkness"


In the chapter "Gift for the Darkness" Ralph and Jack and the other boys come down the mountain to tell Piggy that they seen the beast. At first Piggy didnt believe it but then he just wondered what they were going to do. Jack got very angry when Ralph said that he would probably hide from the beat and that his hunters were only boys with sticks. This is when Jack decides to depart from everyone else and go to another part of the island. Maurice, Robert, and Bill join him. After they leave Piggy and Ralph discuss what theyre going to do about the fire and how theyre going to keep it going. Then they decide to have the fire down on the island instead of on top of the mountain. Later, Simon goes up the mountain to sit in a woven mat. Far along the beach Jack and his group talk about hunting. He says that they are going to forget the beast. Then they go hunting right away. They kill a pig and stick its head on a stick with two sharpened ends. Roger asks how they are going to get a fire, and thats when Jack gets the clever idea to steal from Ralph and his group. They left the pig head on the stick as a gift for the beast. Simon sees the pig and hallucinates that the pig, known as the lord of the flies, talks to him. Down the mountain Jack arrives to Ralph and explains that theyre going to have feast and anyone who wants to visit may. As Jack leaves Ralph and Piggy discuss going to the feast and the littluns let their mouths water over the sound of meat. Simon wakes up to the Lord of the Flies talking to him. He says that they're going to have fun on the island.
