Quotations from Chapter 7:
Here are a few key quotations from Chapter 7:
The boys' savage appearances
- “He would like to have a pair of scissors and cut this hair”.
- Ralph looks at the boys and realises how wild they look. Their hair is wild and their skin is dirty.
“Stop it! You’re hurting!”
- Ralph describes his attack of the wild boar once more. One of the other boys, Robert, pretends to be the wild boar and the boys all start poking him with their spears.
“Kill him! Kill him!”
- The boys are too excited about attacking Robert and are blinded by the image of their spears hitting flesh. The boys grab Robert’s hair and Jack pulls out his knife.
“Use a littleun”
- Roger says that the game would have been better if they had a real pig because the boys want to kill something, but Jack makes a joke that they could “use a littlun”.
Jack's hatred of Piggy
- “We mustn’t let anything happen to Piggy, must we?”
- Jack sneers this at Ralph as he hates his protectiveness.
"The creature"
- “The creature lifted its head, holding toward them the ruin of a face”. -Jack, Ralph and Roger do not realise that the face belongs to a dead man, they just recognise that there is a head moving. Terrified, they run down the mountain.
