Quotations from Chapter 8
Here are a few key quotations from Chapter 8:

- Just “boys armed with sticks”.
Jack leaves
- “Slowly the red drained from Jack's cheeks, then came back with a painful rush”.
- Jack puts down the conch and tells the boys that, if they want meat, they can hunt with him. Then he walks away.
Piggy's intellect
- “Only Piggy could have the intellectual daring to suggest moving the fire from the mountain”.
Jack's hopes for leadership
- “I'm going to get more of the biguns away from the conch and all that. We'll kill a pig and give a feast”.
