8-9

I called it! What did I say in one of my earlier posts? That Ralph and Jack would split into two warring factions? I think so. It did split into two sides. Jack's side went to kill a pig which they did in an admittedly weird way. Ralph's group stayed and built a fire on the beach. Jack's group is becoming exceedingly savage. I think putting the head of the pig on a stake was a bit of overkill. When I first head about the pig talking to Simon I thought something was wrong. It caught me off guard. Finally, Simon dying is just plain weird. I don't know how the Lord of the Flies is going to be worked back into the story. The savagery has hit a high point and there is no turning back. What disturbed me most was that Ralph and Piggy were joining in the dancing. Even the most sane of the group are starting to turn.
