Critical Scene

On page 127, Jack says, "I'm going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to come hunt when I hunt can come too." This is important to the story, because it is what starts the splitting up of the group of boys. When Jack says, "I'm going off by myself," he is disagrees with Ralph's rules. This can represent society splitting up and how poor the leadership is.

When Jack says, "He can catch his own pigs," he is referring to Ralph. Although, Ralph isn't as focused on hunting, because he is more concerned about building a fire for smoke and being rescued. Then Jack says, "Anyone who wants to come hunt when I hunt can come too." This grabs most of the biguns' attention, because eventually most of them become savages. This splitting up of the group boys shows that they don't really know how to decide on what to do and that they don't know how to make the group organized into different jobs.
