Why does piggy say the boys are acting like a crowd of kids in lord of the flies?

Answer 1

The retelling of their hunting exploits reinforces the feeling of unity which the hunters have. They are a group and as a group they have succeeded in imposing their will on another living creature. Retelling the story reminds them and others of their hunting prowess and the power of life and death which they hold. It makes them feel important and perhaps suggests both to them selves and to others that they are more powerful and important than non-hunters.

Answer 2

A storm was brewing, lightning was flashing across the sky and the only other light was from a flickering fire. The boys were over excited and taking part in an imitation pig hunt, dancing and chanting 'kill the beast.' They probably assumed that all the boys on the island were already present in the feast, so when Simon staggered out of jungle into the middle of the dancing boys they thought that he was the beast and killed him.

Answer 3

Jack killed at least three pigs during the course of the book. He arrived back at the mountain top with the body of a pig, when the fire had been allowed to go out, in chapter 4. Jack killed a sow in order to hold a feast on the beach and left its head as an offering to the beast in chapter 8. Finally when Ralph and Piggy went to castle rock, in chapter 11 to demand the return of Piggy's glasses, Jack arrived with two hunters carrying the paunched body of a pig.

Answer 4

Because piggy is different from the other boys. He is fat, he has glasses, he has Asthma, and he has a different way of speaking so he is different in many ways.

Answer 5

The piggy says "The boys are acting like a crowd of kids in the lord of flies" Because he likes to express his emotions sad, happy mad etc. etc
