Summarizing Chapter 7

Ralph begins to wonder about the boy's appearance(dirty,smelly,gross) as they walk to the mountain.. Simon sees Ralph staring out to sea and repeatedly reassures him that they will get home safely. It's kind of sad to read that part. Heather, I know you would go: Awww that's so sad...haha.

Jack, keeping his hunting instincts always ready and active, finds traces of a boar which they begin to hunt. Ralph manages to hit it with his spear, but the animal escapes. Another tribal dance is formed, with a boy named Robert as the pig. Unlike before, Ralph actively participates, and their acting becomes overly realistic, actually hting and hurting Rbert.

Finally, tehy move on towards the mountain, and send Simon back to tell Piggy they won't be back soon. Jack scales the mountain and reports a sighting of a moving creature, initiating a mass climb to the summit. When they see what they believe to be the Beast , they make haste to leave. Too bad this beast is just a dead guy. They were really onto something. Poor boys...
