LOTF response

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.  Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...]
"The rules!" shouted Ralph.  "You're breaking the rules!"
"Who cares?"
Ralph summoned his wits.
"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"
But Jack was shouting against him.
"Bollocks to the rules!  We're strong--we hunt!  If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down!  We'll close in and beat and beat and beat--!" (91)


     

      This passage symbolizes the loss of the old civilization these boys had. The longer they were stranded on the island, the more insane they became. The boys were losing order, authority, and organization. This passage is significant because the loss of order led up to Simon and Piggy's deaths and when Jack takes power from Ralph.

    This passage also foreshadows of when Jack became leader although he has no care for rules and society. Jack was able to make Roger torture the younger kids to be in their tribe. This is significant because it is the start of a breaking society.
