Chapter 4 notes

- society ingreasingly looks like a government / political state - littluns = population, older boys =
government

- The arguments between the boys are based on civilization and savagery / violence - Ralph and
Simon and other kind boys want a more peaceful place to live in , Jack wants violence tribes etc.

- Ralph and the kind ones believe power to be used for everyones good and safety , Jack only
wants to reward those standing up to it

- Struggle for power becomes bigger and more abusive between jack and ralph ( first time they
actually conflict [ about the fire ]

- Fire is a symbol of civilization, when it goes out its like the beginning of a downfall [ the ship has
sailed for a civilization ]

- Jack + hunters start completely descending into savagery as they kill the pig , like beasts

- Painting of faces and long hair - the title indicate the transformation into wild animals

- Bullying of the littluns is in proportion to the downfall of the island - ie as more and more bullying
occurs the more and more savage the society becomes [ part of it obv ]

- A lot of hidden hatred is now being physically taken out [ morrice and roger ] [ jack vs piggy ]

- Ralph is confused and starts doubting his role as a leader, questions why jack started behaving
like this

- A line is starting to appear between the boys, as if a revolution is about to come between two
parties.
