Capter 7

Shadows and tall trees
The exciting boar hunt
Simon
Lately things are starting to cool down, but Jack is turning very hostile towards the littluns. Ralph’s authority is being challenged by everybody, because Jack stands up to him everyone fells tough enough to face Ralph. That afternoon, the hunters find pig scat, and Jack suggests they hunt the pig while they continue to search for the beast. Jack feels it’s important to protect the littluns. Ralph decides to accompany Jack in the hunt. Ralph, who has never been on a hunt before, quickly gets caught up in the excitement of the chase. He flings the spear at the boar injuring it, but it still got away. Although the boar escapes, the boys remain in frenzy in the aftermath of the hunt. Excited, they reenact the chase among themselves with a boy named Robert playing the boar. They lose themselves in the fun that they actually hurt Robert. Robert suggested they use a real boar, instead jack says they should use a littluns.
