Why does Jack hesitate when he lifts his knife to kill the piglet and what does he promise will happen next time he meets a pig?
Jack hesitates because, although it is easy to say that you will kill something, as a well brought up schoolboy he has never before been faced with the prospect of plunging a knife into living flesh. The terrified squealling of the piglet and the thought of actually taking its life caused Jack to hessitate and the piglet managed to escape. Jack later said, to quote directly from the book, "I was choosing a place. Next time----!" He snatched his knife out of the sheath and slammed it into a tree trunk. Next time there would be no mercy.

Why does jack hesitate to kill the piglet in the lord of the flies?
Because he doesn't like him Its sort of a Logic and Intelligence(Piggy) vs. Bloodlust and Savaregy(Jack) thing that Golding might've thought of. Basically Jack wants to have power and be the leader. At a time when he feels that he has just proven his prowness as a hunter Ralph has reasserted his own leadships over the incident of letting the fire out. Jack has already punched Piggy, who he dislikes but also sees as an easy target and a way of getting at Ralph. Jack then refuses to give Piggy any meat as a further display of his own power. Jack killed the pig and Jack chooses who eats it, not Ralph.

Why does the piglet trapped in the creeper vines escape in lord of the flies?
Jack does not kill the piglet in chapter one because he is just a boy. He was the head boy in a choir, he probably came from a priviledged background, and had never had to kill anything before in his life. It is one thing to say "I will a pig" but it is another thing entirely to stab a squealing terrified young animal to death, to feel the knife slicing through living flesh. It is hardly surprising that in those circumstances Jack baulked and failed to stab the piglet. Because of this understandable hesitation on Jack's part the piglet's frantic struggling frees it from the creepers and it then escape.
