1. "Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!" page 142.
The use of repetition and explanatory tones in the boys' chant is emphasises the boys worrying yern for death and torture. It is evident  that the characters have developed dramatically turning to savagery and basic primitive behaviours.

2. " the desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering" page 142.
The use of ___ and emotive language allows the reader to see this unavoidable desperation within the boys (even Ralph) to torture and cause pain. Again this highlights a dystopian world which is dramatically controversial to the adventure the boys had wished upon in the beginning chapters.

3. " He bound himself together with his will, fused his fear and hatred into loathing and stood up" page 152
By listing and __ Golding chooses to create tension and engage the readers in Ralph's every step. This engagement of the audience is essential as the suspense of the characters previously paling about the "beastie" is lead up to by those moment.

4. "You'll get back to where you came from" page 137.
The foreshadowing used by Golding in Simons character acts almost as an ironic warning to the readers that future events are involving Simon will be negative.

The main themes explored in Chapter 7 are civilisation and savagery, and the way in which they conflict. The idea of crowd mentality is also expanded upon.  Ralph is portrayed as the civilised character, wishing for "a pair of scissors" to cut his hair, as well as "a bath, a proper wallow with soap" and claiming that "a toothbrush would come in handy too". Ralph's supposed civilised manner directly juxtaposes Jack and the hunters' savagery, displayed in the boar hunt and the game that the boys play afterwards. Their savagery is shown by Golding in the short, erratic lines of dialogue, such as  "Through here--", "But he'd do us!" and "Through here, I said--". After they wound the boar, but fail to kill it, they imitate the hunt, with Robert pretending to be the pig. Savagery is once again introduced when "Robert squealed in mock terror, then in real pain". The boys chant "Kill the pig! Cut his throat!" , including Ralph. This suggests that under no restrictions, even the most civilised of society can buckle, caving to the pressure of savagery. The concept of pack mentality is also explored here, as Ralph sets aside his morals and becomes caught up in the excitement of the game, shown when Golding explains "Ralph, carried away by a sudden thick excitement, grabbed Eric's spear and jabbed at Robert with him". These themes are thoroughly expanded throughout the chapter, and foreshadow future evil committed by Jack and the hunters.

Chapter 7 informs the reader that the boys have turned savage. They have gained a large interest in hunting and it has become one of their top priorities. Although, out of all the boys, Ralph has shown the biggest interest in hunting in this chapter, "Ralph talked on, excitedly. 'I hit him all right. The spear stuck in. I wounded him!'
He sunned himself in their new respect and felt that hunting was good after all."

Chapter 7 also teaches the reader about how Jack expresses himself as brave. However, at times this impression of bravery is denied by his own actions.

Ralph has also released that he has become very unhygienic,  "He would like to have a pair of scissors and cut this hair—he flung the mass back—cut this filthy hair right back to half an inch. He would like to have a bath, a proper wallow with soap. He passed his tongue experimentally over

his teeth and decided that a toothbrush would come in handy too. Then there were his nails— "

The Beast represents the 'fear of the unknown'
The ocean symbolizes the subconscious, where the beast lurks; it does separate Ralph from civilisation. Simon predicts only Ralph's safe return, not his own.
Only Simon understands that the beast is within. He doesn't fear the jungle because the beast isn't there.
The conflict between Jack (savagery) and Ralph (civilization) for control and power serves only the beast's benefit. Here Jack and his savagery prevail, luring the boys deeper into believing in the beasts' physical existence.

Chapter 7 is very important and vital to the story of the book as it explains the characters mindsets and how they change throughout. For example, Ralph had started off with a very young view on the island. In saying this, he now has an older view, caring more abut his hygiene.

Ralph is starting to give up in the idea ❗️of ever being able to escape from the island 🏝. Simon reassures Ralph that he will get home. That afternoon, the hunters find pig droppings💩 and Jack suggests they hunt the pig 🐷. The boys find large boar and chase it. The boar escapes, but the boys are thrilled 😁 with the chase and re-enact the scene with Robert as the pig. Jack challenges Ralph to continue the hunt for the beast and he eventually agrees 👍. Ralph, Roger and Jack start to climb the mountain 🏔. Jack claims to have seen the beast, which Ralph and Roger then confirm. The three boys flee from the mountain-top in terror 😱
