LOTF scene

***hey, just for you grammar nazis out there, there is a run on sentence in here, and I want you to know that it is quite purposeful. Literary devices, people.***

" 'I tell you, I got the conch!'
Surprisingly, there was silence now; the tribe were curious to see what amusing thing he might have to say.
Silence and pause; but in the silence a curious air-noise[...blah blah blah...]
'I got this to say. You're acting like a crowd of kids.' [...blah blah blah...]
Now Jack was yelling too, and Ralph could no longer be heard above the noise."
(This is the scene just before Piggy dies.)


This scene is absolutely pivotal (I bolded, underlined and italicized that for a reason, folks) because it marks the point in which Jack's clan becomes like 90% animal. When they're yelling and screaming and booing and they just want him to shut up so they can continue their fun, and and all they want is to be able to hunt Ralph and kill him and put his head on a stick like they did with the Lord of the Flies, and honestly why is Piggy still saying stuff, it's not like anyone is listening they're all yelling and screaming anyway. We've seen a gradual change in personality (mood? psych setting? something?) before, but this is that final stretch that we see where they have almost nothing but pure thirst for blood.
I'm not saying this is the most pivotal , because there are some more important ones, but honestly, I most of the über-important scenes are way too gory for me to write about. But this one is the final psych change in LOTF before rescue, which influences the entire turnout of the novel.
