Chapter 7: Shadows and Tall Trees

In this chapter it is obvious that the boys are becoming more uncivilized and savage. When the boys went to go look for the beast they all became distracted and went after a pig instead. Also they were becoming so enthralled with killing the pig that when they reenacted it they didn't notice that they were hurting one of the boys. Even Ralph and Piggy, who were more civilized, got caught up in the moment. This is an example of how the boys are becoming more savage-like and are hurting each other without even realizing it. In conclusion, I think that this will result in one of the boys getting seriously hurt or killed when they are playing another "game".
