This is an example of how savage the boys had truly become. The turpitude that the boys possessed during this hunt shows how the evil in them had taken oven. Later, Jack told the boys that they would offer the head as a sacrifice to the beast of the island. He told them to "sharpen a stick at both ends...as he stood up, holding the dripping sow's head in his hands... and jammed the soft throat down on the pointed end of the stick" (Golding, 126). The ability of Jack to perform this atrocious act shows his complete digression from propriety to absolute
He also saved his skeleton and put in his closet and had cut off his biceps and was put in his freezer to eat at a later time. In September of 1990 he did the same thing to David Thomas who was only 23 years old. A few months later in February of 1991 it was 19 year old Curtis Straughter, whose skull was also kept. In April of 1991 his victim was 19 year old Errol Linsey. He was drugged like all the rest and was promised money for posing nude like some of the others.
Showing violent action to demonstrate humor such as food fight, or spitting food at people represents slapstick hilarity at its finest. The scene also includes low comedy from the joke made at Bluto for being a pig and the energetic horseplay of the food fight. Another classic scene in Animal House is when Dean Wormer calls some of the students from the Delta fraternity into his office to read off their grade point averages. In this scene the element of low comedy is noticeably present. The classic line, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life,” is manifested here, along with Blutos sight gag of having pencils up his nose after receiving his GPA of 0.0.
Since it occurred during the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl migration became significant due to the riskiness in relocation because of such high unemployment rates. So, in the context of very low internal migrations in America at this time, the Dust Bowl Migration really stands out. However, apart from the fame, the migration was misnamed because most of the people migrating weren’t victims of the dust; instead they were victims of drought and depression. Despite of the critical distance, 200,000-400,000 farmers- out of the 3 million- from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri traveled as families to California. The push factors of their homeland- no arable land for crops, contaminated water, and no money- caused the farmers and their families to leave .Then California’s pull factors, such as harvest labor job opportunities, attracted these refugees of depression.
Hunting gives Jack an adrenaline rush which he very much enjoys. He talks about the experience of killing a pig during one of their assemblies: “‘There was lashing of blood,” said Jack, laughing and shuddering”(69). Jack starts enjoying these violent acts of killing and falls deeper into savagery. He takes his group down this dark and violent path even further. Robert and Roger talk about Jack going to beat up one of their tribe members, “‘He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up.’”(159).

At night the Jem and Scout hear scraping and believe that it may be Boo Radley out seeking his revenge. They would imagine him scratching on the screen and picking it apart with his fingers. "Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained -- if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time." (Lee’s pg.13) As the story progresses the children discover little trinkets in a tree by the Radley
