“What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?”

Piggy says this to Ralph during one of their meetings. Piggy is really supportive of keeping a signal fire going, and concentrating on their rescue. He sees the boys future of violence long before the others. In this part of the chapter he pleads with his listeners to remember their civilization back home.

"'Jack, painted
and garlanded, sat there like an idol.'" This quote is significant because it signifies 2 things. The paint on Jacks face represents his savagery that he has embraced and the fact that the author compares him to an idol shows how Jack uses his power as chief as a person to be worshipped.

Simon was crying out something about a dead man on a hill… The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed. The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out against the abominable noise, something about a body on the hill… At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore.

This shows how blinded with fear the boy are in regards to the beast. Since Jack has nourished and kept the fear of the beast alive and growing, the boys aren't even hesitant to believe that this figure they saw could be one of their own and instead start biting and tearing into Simon, unfortunately killing him, further growing their savage like character as they lose their civilized self from the society they came from even more. Ralph too was dancing and chanting in the circle, maybe starting to lose hope and let his past self go.

"Simon’s head was tilted slightly up. His eyes could not break away and the Lord of the Flies hung in space before him.
“What are you doing out here all alone? Aren’t you afraid of me?”
Simon shook. “There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast.” Simon’s mouth labored, brought forth audible words. “Pig’s head on a stick.”
The pigs head on the stick symbolizes evil.

“Well then,” said the Lord of the Flies, “you’d better run off and play
with the others. They think you’re batty. You don’t want Ralph to think
you’re batty, do you? You like Ralph a lot, don’t you? And Piggy, and Jack?”

The significance of this quote is that  the head on the stick was talking to Simon but really it was Simon's own fears trying to destroy him.

(Chapter 9) "Evenings was come, not with calm beauty but with the threat of violence."

The significance of this quote is the atmosphere has switched from calm evenings to the threat of violence.

Chapter 8
"What about my hunters?"
"Boys with  sticks."

This shows how Ralph and Jack are becoming more and more hostile with each other, almost insulting each other in every line. Jack asked about his hunters, and Ralph replied by insulting them, calling them nothing more than a bunch of boys with sticks. This causes jack to get visibly upset, and he angrily marches away.

Chapter 9
"P'raps we ought to go too."
"I mean- to make sure nothing happens."

This shows how Piggy and Ralph are starting to miss everybody, and are willing to give up, and join everybody else, even if it means they lose all power.

# data[].attributes.body
“He's a coward...On top, when Roger and me went on—he stayed back” This shows characterization for jack as he uses any and every little things Ralph did wrong, regardless if he did the same, to shift the control and power on to him.

# data[].attributes.body
"Piggy was speaking now with more assurance and with what, if the circumstances had not been so serious, the others would have recognized as pleasure." Before Jack left the group, Piggy barely was able to speak without Jack cutting him off and being disrespectful. Jack's presence symbolizes a barrier from freedom to Piggy, showing how controlling and dictator-like Jack is. However, now that Jack is gone, Piggy is speaking more openly and is able to help the remaining boys out.

# data[].attributes.body
"'A savage raised his hand and the chief turned a bleak, painted face
toward him.'" This quote is significant because it shows that under Jack's leadership the boys completely lose their civilization to the point where the author stops referring to them as boys but as savages. The theme Civilization v.s. Barbarism is taking full effect in this chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
"The head remained there, dim-eyed grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth. All at once they were running away, as fast as they could, through the forest toward the open beach."
This quote is significant because its explaining what they were seeing and what their initial reaction was to do, which is run away.

# data[].attributes.body
Chapter 8
“When I saw Jack I was sure he’d go for the conch. Can’t think why.”
The group of boys looked at the white shell with affectionate respect. Piggy placed it in Ralph’s hand and the littluns, seeing the familiar sym-bol, started to come back.

Chapter 9
"The circle became a horseshoe. A thing was crawling out of the forest. It came darkly, uncertainly. The shrill screaming that rose before the beast was like a pain. The beast stumbled into the horseshoe." This quote is significant because it shows how the boys are losing all sanity, and will kill whatever they see. It shows how the characterization of the boys is changing

# data[].attributes.body
i'm warning you . I'm going to get angry D'you see? Your not wanted. Understand ?   We are going to have fun on this island!  So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy, or else---"

This quote is significant because it shows us how Simon is losing himself while talking to the Pig's head on a stick(Lord of the flies). Also it foreshadows that there is something bad on the horizon coming seeing as the lord of the flies says "or else" in what felt like a psychotic tone.

# data[].attributes.body
In Chapter 8 I chose "At last Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood – and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition." this quote is significant because it describes the context in detail which is very important in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
"Just for some meat" "And for hunting" said Ralph, wisely, "And for pretending to be a tribe, and putting war-paint on." This shows the anger that Ralph feels towards Jack because he feels like he split the group up for no reason.

"Kill the beast. Cut his throat. Spill his blood." Chapter 9
This quote shows the chant they use when they are going to kill a pig in the story. It shows them that they have become savages the more time they spend there.

# data[].attributes.body
"The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed. The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folded over its face." This quote shows conflict with nature vs man. Also implies that the beast may be a human

“The fire’s the most important thing. Without the fire we can’t be res-
cued. I’d like to put on war-paint and be a savage. But we must keep the fire burning. The fire’s the most important thing on the island, because,
because—” (Chapter 8)  This quote is significant because is symbolizes loss in order. At this point in the story we can see that all civility is lost.

"the usual brightness was gone from his eyes and he walked with a sort of glum determination like an old man" This quote is refering to Simon  and how after he saw the LOTF he wasn't  the same. This is significnant because it could relate to loss of innocence.

"There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast... Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill!... You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you?" This quote shows how the beast is part of them and not something they can just kill.This symbolizes the beast.

# data[].attributes.body
(chapter 9)

"Kill the beast. Cut his throat. Spill his blood"

This quote shows how they over time have turned into savage people. Now they have their chant for when they kill a pigs which, shows how they are worried about just hunting.

"Simon was crying out something about a dead man on a hill. The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed. The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out against the abominable noise something about a body on the hill. The beast struggled forward, broke the ring and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water. At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore."
This qoute is significant because  it shows how savagery and violence has blinded the boys.They do not hear Simon or reconginze Simon  they kill and attack him because they think hes the beast. This also shows a little bit of irony because simon came to tell them that the beast was harmless and is nothing but a parachute.

This quote is significant because it shows how Simon saw a dead body and was really affected by it and still wanted to relieve the others fears of the beast.

The group of boys looked at the white shell with affectionate respect. Piggy placed it in Ralph’s hand and the littluns, seeing the familiar symbol, started to come back." This is significant because the boys are fighting over leadership. This also gives a representation of the symbol of the conch shell.

Chapter 8.
"They agreed passionately out of the depths of their tormented private lives.” This is showing how the characters can relate to each other. They all agreed passionately and this shows how they can all relate their tormented private lives with each other.. The boys have some relations to each other although they do not show it very much.

“I’m going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too.”

This quote is significant because it shows a conflict between Ralph and Jack. This is also significant because the group of boys separate because Jack and Ralph have two different objectives which is to hunt or get rescued so they know must choose who to follow.

From chapter 8 I chose "At last Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood – and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition. " This quote from chapter 8 is very significant because it discusses the importance of the characteristics in the story my providing clear details in the text.

"This head is for the beast it a gift. "This quote for chapter 8 is essential because its showing the savagery and the evil inside the souls of the boys, specifically the hunters enlarging.

“Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!”
Now out of the terror rose another desire, thick, urgent, blind.
“Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!”

This quote is significant because it demonstrates the devolution of the  boys over time. Initially the boys were worried about hunting and even jack an his hunters had hidden fears of hunting and killing the beast. At this point in the story they've taken on this much less innocent and more vile mob mentality as they chant about killing the beast. Even more savage than ever as they seem to be killing the beast less for safety and more for sport now by chanting "cut his throat! spill his blood!". This adds to the theme of loss of innocence and characterizations of the boys being savages.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter 9, it states “Kill the Beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!”. This indicates the boys have gave savagery over time and became vicious hunters. They are in survival mode and feel as if the “beast” should die.
