MONDAY 19 August 2019 

The booing rose and died again as Piggy lifted the white, magic shell. 

“Which is better – to be a pack of painted Indians like you are, or to be sensible like Ralph is?” 

A great clamor rose among the savages. Piggy shouted again. 

“Which is better – to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?” 

Again the clamor and again – “Zup!” 

Ralph shouted against the noise. 

“Which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?” 

Now Jack was yelling too and Ralph could no longer make himself heard. Jack had backed right against the tribe and they were a solid mass of menace that bristled with spears.
