Chapter 8/9

I think the most disturbing part in the book was the sacrificing of the pig.

The savages, ( the Hunters), tried to do their dance on a sow but she ran away to a clearing where they found her. There blood was spilled/ It was a victory for the boys, not so much for the pig though. Their demonic behavior only worsened. They De-gutted the pig. Then they cut off the head and piked it and left the head just "standing" there.

The guts of the pig were left on the rock near where Jack De-gutted her. They left the head there for the gift for a darkness.

A thick cloud of flies hovered over the head of the Lord of the Flies.Dancing butterflies fluttered happily after, and during this blood bath. They left the pig's head there for the "beast". The hunters took the rest of the pig for a big feast for themselves.

I believe that every single one of the boys were responsible for the death of Simon, even the people who weren't exactly involved in the killing. First I think Simon is responsible for his own death, in a way, because if he had gone earlier like the Lord of the Flies told him to maybe what had happened would have occurred. I also think that Ralph and Piggy were responsible for his death too. Since they saw that it was Simon that was being killed, they could have done something to maybe delay the process, or even stop it. Jack and the boys are most definitely responsible for poor Simon's death. They all saw who they were killing but Jack had already roused them, and once they were in killing mode they couldn't be stopped.

Those are the people who are responsible for Simon's death. If power wasn't such a major conflict there would be less tension, less paranoia, and one less death. The beast definitely was not killed. It only grew stronger and more dangerous after the murder of Simon, because the beast was the bad side of human nature. Evil. Evil hung in the air of the Island as Simon's limp body drifted out to sea.
