In the beginning of this chapter, we get a basic overiew of what happens in the spare time that the boys have. It explains what the older boys do and also what the "littluns" do. It seems like the young boys help each other out and get comfort from being around each other. They all miss their homes and when they get sad, they cry and go next to each other for comfort. It seems like they have each other's support, unlike the older boys.
Also, I never really knew much about Roger as a character before this chapter. He was being very mean to the little boys by knocking down their sand castles and throwing sand in their eyes. I don't unerstand why he was being so mean.
It was such a bad coincidence that in the couple of hours that the fore was out was when they saw a ship. I could not believe that Jack and his group let the fire go out. I think Ralph and Jack are starting to not like each other as much as they did before. Also, we saw some violence from Jack when he punched Piggy in the stomach and in the face. Jack also kept talking abou when they killed the pig and about the blood. It really seems like he is going a little bit insane.
I noticed a couple of times where Simon was being somewht nice to Piggy. One was when he picked up his glasses for him when Jack knocked them off, and once when Simon gave Piggy some of his food. Though these are small acts of kindness, they are pretty much the only ones I've seen toward Piggy throughout the course of the book so far.
