Best Answer

In the novel 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding, Jack feels frustrated and thwarted because he was unable to hunt down and kill a pig. After trying a second time, and failing again, he feels much worse. He feels foolish, feeble and unmanly and probably thinks everyone is watching to see how well he does. When he returns empty-handed he feels very angry at himself, at the pig that got away and at anyone else in the nearby vicinity. His anger will overspill onto those nearest him. Ralph unfortunately draws attention to the fact, and also praises Simon at the same time, for his friendship, helpfulness and loyalty in building the shelters. Jack may feel a slur here on his behavior, and may feel wounded by an unspoken comparison to Simon.
