The tribe has their war paint on and assume fighting position instead of trying to talk the situation out, like civilized people. The once lovely, little British boys turn almost totally savage. Once the boys transform to complete savages, Ralph will have no one to help him. Piggy dies and moments after Piggy’s death, Jack, “began screaming wildly.
You and your hunting! We might’ve gone home- “(Golding 93). This quote is about how Jack goes off on his own, knowingly going against the rules for his short-term goal of hunting, and due to his actions, the group paid the ultimate price and missed their chance to be rescued.
