Chapter 8

In Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies, Jack and Ralph have had enough of each other.  They split up and Jack goes with 4 other boys and makes his own "tribe".  He catches a giant pig and puts it's head on a stick and invites the other tribe for a feast.  Ralph has some of the older boys and all of the little kids.  He starts a fire down at the beach and tries to come up with a new method to survive.  Simon finds what everyone thought was the beast and cuts him out of his binds.

Jack and Ralph have a very interesting situation.  They are both competing for more of the big kids and tying to survive.  Jack uses trickery to get the thinks that Ralph has and Ralph is just trying to survive and help others do the same.  I am very interested to see what happens to the two groups and see who comes out on top.

Simon is a very interesting character.  I personally can't decide if I like him or not.  He is so secretive, but he seems also to be very helpful and supportive to Ralph. I am extremely interested to see what he will do with the Lord of the Flies and how that will affect his decisions.  I am also interested to see what side he will chose, and whether or not he will end up surviving.
