Chapter 3 Summary

Jack is obsessed with hunting pigs although he has yet to catch one. Ralph and Simon work on the huts. Everyone else plays. Jack has become savage in his quest for blood. Ralph and Jack argue. Jack is letting his obsession with hunting the pig get to him. All he can think about is killing the pig and it is causing conflict with everyone. Simon wanders off, helps the littluns get fruit, and continues to an isolated location. Ralph is the only one who is focused on building the huts. This causes conflict with everyone because Ralph is getting fed up with all the boys only wanting to play or hunt.
