Chp. 4 Lord of the Flies

In the chapter Painted Faces And Long Hair the kids are getting bored of the island and don't know what else to do to entertain them. Most of the time the littluns are crying for their mommies. One day everybody was down in the bathing pool diving and just resting in the water, when Ralph started screaming "Smoke,Smoke". Everybody gets alerted and they run up to the mountain to see if the fire is still going. They find that the fire has died out because Jack's crew went hunting instead. Ralph doesn't know what to do because the only hope of getting rescued has vanished.
Jack gets there later on with his crew really happy and screaming because they finally caught the pig they were trying to hunt for days. His Faces were painted so when they saw the pig the pig wouldn't see them and they would camouflage with the background. Ralph starts screaming at Jack for not keeping the fire going and letting the ship go away. Jack gets so frustrated with Ralph and then Piggy starts to go at it too. All of a sudden Jack start punching and smacking Piggy and breaks his glasses. Ralph doesn't do anything about it.Then Jack apologizes to Ralph and they all start roasting the pig.

"Look! We've killed a pig--we stole up on them--we got in a circle--"

"Piggy's glasses flew off and tinkled on the rocks.Piggy cried out in terror:"My specs""

This relates to symbolism because the pig and Piggy's glasses are both objects that play an important role in this novel. The pig because Jack is so obsessed in hunting it down that he forgets about the fire and the ship goes away without knowing that they are there. The specs are important because they help light the fire.
