Ch. 8

• Early in the morning Jack, without permission, blows the conch and calls a meeting to discuss the beast. During the meeting, Jack intensifies the general fear by telling everyone that the life of the beast is real and he has seen it.
• The boys grow even more scared when Ralph does not seem to have much confidence in the hunters to defend them.
• Ralph is feeling down and powerless. At the meeting there is an argument. Jack confronts Ralph and calls him a coward. But when he calls for a vote on getting rid of Ralph as chief, the boys do not back him up.
• Jack cannot deal with the embarrassment, he announces that he is no longer a member of Ralph's group, says that he will make his own group on the other side of the island, and walks away by himself.
• Piggy is openly thrilled to see him leave.
• Simon proposes climbing the mountain again to find the beast, but Ralph, who is now feeling desperate, determines it is safer to stay on the beach.
• Piggy's proposes that the boys should put together a signal fire right on the beach and they start working on the project.
• Once the pile is ready, Piggy lights the fire using his glasses.
• Ralph notices that the hunters have gone after Jack and is concerned by this abandonment.
• On the other side of the island, Jack gathers his group of boys. They cover themselves with war-paint and leave on a hunt.
• They locate a pig and feel great pleasure in its mean and bloody slay.
• To mark their successful hunt, they support its head on a pole.
• This head is offered as a gift to the beast. The boys take pleasure in their savage act, but the excitement soon fades and they feel somewhat ashamed.
• Piggy and Ralph cannot understand why the others cannot be serious about the fire and worry about the fact that everything seems to be breaking up.
• Jack and his hunters burst upon the other boys and attack their fire.
• Jack also requests that they to come to a feast, informing that they have killed another pig.
• The idea of meat is tempting to the eager boys.
• Simon wants some time alone to sit and think.
• Simon had walked into the jungle to the area he had been to before and saw the boar's head with flies buzzing around it.
• Simon seems unable to take his eyes off "The Lord of the Flies". Out of nowhere the head grins and speaks to him. The creature tells him that he is the beast and advises him that the beast is part of everyone. The head then clarifies why things are going badly. The beast continues to menace Simon, who eventually faints.

• Dreading trouble, Piggy advises Ralph to leave, but he refuses.
• Simon crawls to deliver his wonderful news to the dancing boys. But the wild boys confuse him with the beast. They start pounding him with their spears and sticks paying no attention to Simon's effort details and cries of hurt and fear.
• He tries to free himself, but falls over the rocks onto the beach.
• The boys follow and strike, slash, and scratch at him until he dies.
• The boys run for shelter from the storm, and Simon's body is washed out to sea.
• The dead airman's body is also passed by the wind over the lagoon and into the sea.

B.) Piggy

        Piggy is now accepted and treated well by everyone that is except Jack. He and Ralph just talk and confide in each other and he is not very threatened by Jack anymore. Since Jack is out of the tribe, Piggy is very happy. He has faith that Ralph will be a decent leader and they will survive once everything gets into order.

C.)         A need for social order will be put into play greatly now since Jack is gone. There are a lot fewer members and one authority figure they have to listen to, so maybe now it will be easier for them to accomplish things and become successful. Sine the beastie has been discovered there has been chaos through out the groups so order will need to be made.

D.)        Conch Shell- The conch shell is abused, especially by Jack. No one has respect for it anymore except for when meeting are called. It is not put into play a lot during these chapters, but it definitely is at the same level with Ralph. As the conchs presences lessen in the chapters, the respects for Ralph and Ralph’s hopes lessen.

Fire- The fire is starting to get taken care of. However when Jacks group invades Ralph’s, they steal the fire and bring it to the other side of the island. Ralph and Piggy however join in the festivities with their rivals.
