Quote from Lord of the Flies Page 144

"'I'm warning you. I'm going to get angry. D'you see? You're not wanted. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island! So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy, or else-'"
-Lord of the Flies Page 144
This seen sets in motion the events that will lead up to the first murder on the island. Simon realizes that the real beast on the island is inside all the boys. It is human nature that will threaten the boys, not some physical being. The encounter scares Simon to the point that he faints in the face of the pig head. The pig head tells him that the other boys do not like him, and that the island will eventually lead to the deaths of all of the boys.

Quote from Lord of the Flies Page 127

"'I'm going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too.' He blundered out of the triangle toward the drop to the white sand."
-Lord of the Flies Page 127
This quote shows the climax of the scene in which Jack leaves the original group of boys. The divisions in the boys were caused by Jack's unwillingness to be ordered around by anyone else. He wants only to answer to himself and no one else. Jack's independent tendencies lead him to quarrel with Ralph constantly, leading to his departure from the conch and Ralph. Jack believes that Ralph is a poor leader, but the others do not seem to agree. These events all lead Jack to leave the original pack of boys.

''Ralph-we need meat even if we are hunting the other thing.'"
-Lord of the Flies Page 111
Even as the group is trying to hunt the beast, many of the boys can only thing of hunting, killing, and eating pigs. The thought of meat seems to put the boys in a trance where the sole objects in their minds is killing pigs. This obsession with meat is beginning to tear the island apart. Even Ralph's mind is beginning to embrace the ideas of hunting pigs. This obsession may eventually lead to the demise of the order on the island.

Quote from Lord of the Flies Page 89

"Simon became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind's essential illness."
-Lord of the Flies Page 89
Simon attempts to explain to the other boys what is really the beast on the island. He attempts to tell them that the real beast might be themselves. The soverignty on the island has been breaking down because of the disagreements in leadership. Simon believes that the once noble endeavors of the islanders have become skewed and evil. Jack and his posse once worked for the good of the island, but became engulfed in pride.

Quote from Lord of the Flies Page 81

"'You hunters! You can laugh! But I tell you the smoke is more important than the pig, however often you kill one. Do all of you see?'..'We've got to make smoke up there-or die.'"
-Lord of the Flies page 81
This passage comes from Ralph's inspired speech to the boys after the ship has passed. This act infuriates Jack because his love of hunting is belittled. Jack believes that the only important thing to do on the island is to hunt. He gets a sort of adrenaline high from hunting. Ralph uses this speech to try and get the point across that the fire is more important than anything else anyone could do on the island.

Quote from Lord of the Flies Page 75

"Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in."
-Lord of the Flies Page 75
This chant is the first clue that the boys are becoming more and more savage. Island life is de-conditioning them from what they were taught back home in London. The boys repeat this chant in a ritual they perform to symbolize the hunt. They appear to worship the act of hunting and killing pigs. They are more interested in the pursuit of meat that they will eventually forget of being rescued and their lives in the civilized world.

Quote from Lord of the Flies Page 68

"The fire was dead...smokeless and dead; the watchers were gone. A pile of unused fuel lay ready."
-Lord of the Flies Page 68
This quote is from a very important scene in the novel. Ralph becomes infuriated when the boys he assigned to keep the fire going choose to go out and hunt. A possible rescuer floats by offshore and the signal fire is out. This event is what starts the schism between Ralph and Jack. Jack defies Ralph, saying that hunting is more important than the fire, while Ralph believes the fire to be much more important than eating meat. This division in the parties eventually leads to death and fear.
