CHAPTER 8 in Lord of the Flies is one of the most confusing chapters in the novel.

The three events to choose from:

1. The meeting at the beginning of the chapter when Jack runs away to start his own tribe.
2. The scene where Jack and his hunters create the sacrificial pig head/ “Lord of the Flies”.
3. The scene when the Lord of the Flies talks to and threatens Simon.

COMMENTARY: [3rd & 5th Sentences: Here is where you explain why the concrete details you have chosen prove your claim. Explain your reasoning. Why does this quote or specific detail prove your major claim about who is responsible for Simon’s murder?]
