"He's like Piggy. He say things like Piggy. He isn't a proper chief."
The sight of the "beastie" calls for an automatic meeting to warn the others, but this time it is not callled by Ralph, but Jack. He suggests to the group that they should choose him as there leader and not Ralph. Even though they still want Ralph to be there leader, they follow Jack on his journey to find the "beastie". Leaving Ralph behind, he is soon cheered up by the ideas of Piggy. Piggy suggests that they make a fire in hope of getting rescued, and Ralph greatly loves the idea. On Jack's journey they come across another pig, which they kill and then use the head as the symbol of "lord of the flies", which they set upon the beach. Simon comes upon the pig head and continue to stares at it, till it starts speaking to him which sets him into a seizure. I believe that people are siding more with Jack as there "chief", because he is the one they see as their protector and food provider,and they don't want to loose that. Also i think that now Ralph better understands and accepts Piggy, knowing what great ideas he can offer. When they cut off the pig head and put it on the beach, it shows the real savage side not only of Jack, but of all his hunters. I also believe that Simon not only feel into a seizure because of what he was looking at, but because he is becoming weak and less cared for.
