Chapter Summary Four
In this chapter the group of boys are sort of falling into a daily routine. The mornings are cool and have strange “mirages” that appear in the water. They like to play. The little uns’ play on the beach mostly. Making sand castles. One of the boys finds some translucent fish swimming near the beach. Another boy sees him and they get into a small fight that involves rocks. Then Jack came along and talked the boys into coming with him to kill the pig. Then Ralph saw a ship while he was on the beach. He ran up the mountain and some of the boys followed. Once they got to the top of the mountain they noticed that the fire had died. Ralph was furious, he started to get into another argument with Jack. He was cutting up the pig that the boys were now cooking over the newly lit fire. They noticed Simon wasn’t eating the pig. Everyone got mad at him and tried to make him eat it. He still didn’t and that made everyone, especially Jack, more angry. At the end of the chapter Ralph said he was going to assemble a meeting and stormed off.
