At the end of chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell Jack understandably hesitated at the prospect of plunging his sheath knife into the flesh of a terrified, squealing piglet. The piglet escaped. Jack was embarrassed by his failure to kill the piglet and vowed that next time he would do it. The first presumed death was of the littlun with the mulberry coloured birth mark on his face, his death was entirely due to negligence and seemed to cause some shame and guilt on the part of the boys. Eventually Jack and his hunters hunted and killed a pig. Later still, when Jack and his hunters killed a sow, Jack 'flinked' his hunters with the sow's blood and rubbed his blood covered hands on Maurice's cheeks. All the boys simply found it amusing and exciting to kill a pig. After the death of Simon Ralph was filled with remorse. Piggy tried to lay part of the blame on Simon himself and the twins tried to pretend it had never happened. Jack however simply shrugged the episode off as something of little or no importance. Similarly, although Jack hadn't authorised the killing of Piggy, he claimed responsibility and then deliberately tried to kill Ralph. At the end of the book killing by negligence and then killing for food had evolved, via killing for excitement, through killing by mistake and killing almost casually, to deliberate premeditated hunting of Ralph with the full intention of killing him and mounting his head on a stake.

The paradox in the boys' attitude towards the beast in "Lord of the Flies" is that they fear and believe in the beast while simultaneously creating and feeding into the idea of its existence through their own actions.

Why do cute girls have attitude towards cute guys?

because they know that if they want something e.g a drink, they'll just ask the boy and if he refuses (because of doing it all the time), the girl will just dump him. well that's what girls with attitude do. girls who think they look nice - and someone else fancy's them(a boy obiously!), then they try to be the 'big ones' and have attitude towards them because in order for them to be their girlfriend, they have to do something in for return. And that's why they have attitude against ''cute boys.'' if you have any questions, please don't ask me because i need to do my A-levels tomorrow and i need sleep!!!!!! thanks for reading, it might not be as clear because i was half asleep when i wrote this.
