Chapter 8 scene

Piggy looked up the high mountain miserably. “Are you sure

we are safe down here?”
“How the hell should I know?” said Ralph. Jack was
crouching and drawing circlular pattern in the sand.
“We saw the beast, it has big teeth and black eyes, it was
enormous.” said Ralph.
“What are we going to do?” asked Piggy.
“I don’t know.” replied the Ralph.
“I am sure we can’t fight a thing that size, even Jack
couldn’t.” said Ralph.
Then Jack jumped into the conversation. “What about my
hunters armed with sticks?”
However, feeling Ralph ignored him, Jack jerked away
angrily.
Then Jack started to blow the conch ceaselessly, interrupting
them.
Ralph stood up and said “Talk, talk, talk.” He snatched the
conch from Jack.
“This meeting, I called it, because a lot of things.” Ralph gave
Jack the conch and sat down.
“Although we saw the beast, we don’t know it. Ralph said my
hunters are useless. ”
“I never said that.” Ralph denied.
But Jack’s voice went on “He is like Piggy. He is not a proper
chief. He is coward himself.”
Jack turned to the hunters “He is not a hunter. He’d never
have got us meat. He just gives orders.”
“Who wanted it?, Who called the meeting?” shouted Ralph.
Jack turned red in the face filled with anger and shouted.
“Who thinks Ralph ought not to be chief? Raise your hands.”
The silence went on and Jack’s voice tailed off. But he cleared
his throat, and spoke loudly with tears. “All right then, I am
not going to play any longer, Not with you.”
Most of the boys were looking down. Jack cleared his throat
again.
“I am not going to be part of Ralph’s lot. I am going off by
myself.”
Jack looked back at Ralph and cried out. He left the platform
along the beach and divided into the forest.
Piggy was indignant. Ralph told him “He will come back
when the sun goes down.”
