As the boys eat the flesh of the pig, the hunters retell and re-enact the killing. What does this reveal about their experience of the hunt?

This may represent that the hunters are becoming wild beasts, as they are not afraid to jse weapons to spill the blood of another being anymore, and they feel a sense of achievement for taking its life away.

It also symbolising that the civilised part inside the boys is slowly becoming more and more savage. They take pride in killing a living thing. |

I think the way the boys retell this story starts to bring out there inner savage and survival instincts. The hunters aren't afraid to use weapons and slice live flesh. |

Yes I agree, it shows that they are becoming more savage. I think as the story progresses this will become more and more common. |

The boys are turning savage, they are becoming hungry for blood. They are loosing their civilized side, they are becoming wild. They show no mercy, they want meat..... |

The boys get lost in retelling their story because of how much satisfaction and pride they have afterwards. They are turning more savage with an instinct to hunt after food. Becoming less of a resemblance to civilisation, they do not feel afraid of killing another animal. Even though Jack is still not completely comfortable, he makes him self sound tough and is enjoying the new experience. The hunters are unfazed by how society would think of them and are making large steps to survive on the island. |

The boys are turning savage, they are becoming hungry for blood. They are loosing their civilized side, they are becoming wild. They show no mercy, they want meat..... I think by this token we could assume that since living on the island, they have started to become a bit more "animalistic" and less civilised. This might just be the survival nature in them. Also the hunters would be very proud of their kill, as it is something they wouldn't be able to do. I agree with the showing no mercy. |

When the boys are re-telling the story of catching and killing the pig they get very caught up in it, acting it all out. They are becoming more like wild beasts and don't mind killing an animal because they now show no hesitation. They are becoming less and less civilised and feel a need to celebrate once they have taken the life of an innocent animal.

I think the way the boys retell this story starts to bring out there inner savage and survival instincts. The hunters aren't afraid to use weapons and slice live flesh. I agree with you. The way they tell the story, they are excited about spilling the blood of a living animal. This just shows how much the boys are changing from when they arrived on the island. |

Its almost like they're starting represent war in a way. Like their constant want to conquer the pigs. |

This scene reveals that the hunt was somewhat of a thrill to the boys. The way they describe surrounding the pig and slitting it's throat makes it seem like they really enjoyed the experience. In a way it also marks the start of their spiral savagrey. The primitive way they celebrate and cheer after killing the pig is almost disturbing. |

I think the way the boys retell this story starts to bring out there inner savage and survival instincts. The hunters aren't afraid to use weapons and slice live flesh. I think that it's beyond the point where they're no longer afraid of slicing live flesh because it seems that the boys really enjoyed the hunt and enjoyed taking something's life away. |
