The most disturbing part of this chapter was the brutalization on the sow. This pig slaughter is different because the way they attacked it showed that they were they were no longer innocent, they were ruthless hunters with no regard for life. I think the significance of this chapter is to show that the hunters have lost all child like innocence and they are now hunters.

This chapter was really disturbing because Simon didn’t really believe in the beast until it spoke to him, which made him realize that the beast all lives within them. It was also disturbing to see how the boys really started to lose themselves and become like animals. When they were like this, they murdered Simon, who was just trying to help them. It was disturbing to see all the boys go somewhat crazy.

I think that Simon having to watch the Hunters go crazy is what made this chapter so disturbing. This pig was different than the others because the boys seemed more interested in killing it than the meat they recived. This whole chapter seemed sacrificial. I think this chapter was to show that the Hunters have truly lost their minds to the island.

The most disturbing part in this chapter is Simon talking to the pigs head and calling it the lord of the flies. You can tell that he is definitely going insane. It is very gruesome when they kill the pig, as it is described extremely vividly in the writing. I think the purpose of the chapter is to show truly that the boys are not in good shape and that many of them are starting to lose it.

I think this chapter was very disturbing compared to the other ones. The part with Simon and the Lord of the Flies is the most disturbing to me. I think it would be really scary to see a pig’s head on a stick. I would get very scared and run away but instead Simon stays their and is memerized by it. This is very creepy for me. I also find it disturbing that these kids are killing all these animals very brutally. They are acting like they are going insane. I think the purpose of this chapter is to show us the path they are going down and how it is going to keep getting worse.

The most disturbing part of chapter 8 is when Simon is being hypnotized by the Lord of the Flies. This slaughter is different because the boys killed this pig out of blood lust, not a need for food. The purpose of this chapter is to show that the boys are slowly going more and more insane and they are losing all sense of humanity slowly.

This chapter is very disturbing for many reasons. First and most obvious, Jack and his hunters are OBSESSED with hunting, blood, and killing. They even put the head of the pig on a spear which is very creepy. They also start to divide and split up. A separate tribe starts to emerge from Jack and his rebellion against Ralph. This chapter was about showing how the island is changing them all and the effects it's having on their survival system. Simon is the only one really realizing it while he's basically slowly going crazy. The chapter is very necessary to the book because it finally tells us who the Lord of the Flies is.

I think the most disturbing part about this chapter is Simon talking to a severed pig head. It shows how far gone the boys truly are and if how even if the get back to civilization they will always be insane. This slaughter is different because they hunted in more of a unionized pack after a common goal driven by rage, hunger, and the thrill of the hunt. I think the chapter demonstrates how the boys have been slowly descending into insanity since day one. This chapter shows that they will no longer live on the island in “peace” because of the tenseness between Ralph and Jack.

This whole chapter was pretty disturbing, but the part where Simon seems to be drawn to the “Lord of the Flies” is kinda creepy. It definitely shows how their sanity is going out the window. If they were in their right minds, they would have run away from it as fast as they could. I also thought that the death/killing of the pig was gross. They gave a lot of detail, and that really added to the disturbing nature of the whole chapter. This slaughter is different than the killing of the other pigs, because the boys take joy in killing this pig. It seems like their primal instincts are taking over. They are no longer killing for food, but to satisfy the overwhelming desire to kill something. The significance of this chapter is to show how the boys are losing it and are going downhill really fast. They have been out of civilization for so long that it almost seems like they have forgotten how to be human.

I think the most disturbing part of the chapter was when Simon meets the “Lord of the Flies.” I think this because it is super crazy and really scary that this pig head is “talking” to him. This pig slaughter is different because it show how the boys are going crazy and are losing their identities. I think the purpose is to show that the boys have been slowly deteriorating and they are starting to lose their identities. This chapter shows how the boys jealousy and rage are changing them and turning them against each other.

This chapter was definitely the most disturbing so far. I feel like the worst part was when jack and his clan were killing the pig. The way the author was describing them killing the pig wa extremely grotesque. There was extreme emphasis on how the pig was screaming in pain and how there was so much blood. Also, when they were killing the pigs earlier in the book it was for survival- this kill was just out of anger and pure violence. This shows how angry they all are which will probably lead to bad encounters in the future. It was also extremely gross when simon was staring at “the lord of the flies” which was the pig head on a stick. I believe this encounter with the lord of the flies was showing how the fear in all the boys was making them feel crazy and insane. This chapter definitely showed that their civilization will not last much longer. At this point they’re slept into different tribes and they’re not working together in the slightest. I believe this chapter is the start to the complete downfall of the boys.

It definitely seems more noticeable how far away from an actual civilization the boys are. The begging of the chapter is relitivaly harmless, but once Simon starts going insane it gets weird really fast. The most disturbing thing to me is definitely Simon bumping into the “Lord of the Flies”. A dead pig head on a stick. It’s gross to think about, and the fact that simon was mesmerized by it and stayed to look at it is very concerning. The slaughter is done out of pure anger towards Piggy and Ralph, which is horrible considering that it involved death, and not only that but a very long, painful death as described for the pig. It’s very important because it shows just how these boys couldn’t stay sane enough to work together and survive together. They fall back on an every man for himself type policy and now which could lead to more deaths.

The chapter all in all was very hard to read. I was disturbed by the brutal hunting scene and the fact that the group is now split up. Jack is acting like a crazy dictator. He doesn’t really know how to do things that are good in the long run, and overall he is very selfish. Ralph seems like he is trying to do what’s best for the group. This pig killing is different because it is much more violent. It talks about how there was blood everywhere and how the pig was squealing in pain. This killing also seemed to be done to show Ralph’s followers how much better life would be with Jack.

Their obsession with the pig is disturbing enough but in my opinion the most disturbing part is that Simon starts having psychosis. Because it is so grotesque I can understand his obsession with the pig but his conscience starts talking to him. He personifies the monster as the “Lord of the Flies” aka the pig head. The Lord of the Flies talks to him as he is dehydrated and hallucinating in the sun. It tells him that he is a part of Simon and that the beast is inside of him. I think the purpose of the chapter is to show exactly what the effect the sun and diet has had on the boys.

I think the most disturbing part of this chapter is Simon watching and being mesmerized by the pigs head. I would walk away from it immediately to try to get away from it. This pig slaughter was different because Jack and his “tribe” killed it out of anger with Ralph and Piggy. They were angry that Ralph and Piggy wouldn’t go with them to search for the beast. I think that the significance of this chapter is how the boys show jealously and rage, as well as how they showed how they were losing their identities with being on this island so long, and how the boys were irresponsible enough to leave the large group and go try to survive on their own.

I think the most desturbing part of this chapter is when Simon runs into Lord of the Flies. I would be scared to death to see an pigs head on a stick. I think this slaughter is also different because they are doing it to spite piggy and Ralph. I think this chapter is important because it shows how jeoulsy can play a major role in how people survive and choose a leader. It also shows how when we lose our identities we start to act differently, especially under pressure
