Critical Scene

A extremely important scene in Lord Of The Flies is the scene where Simon come crawling out in the dark and the boys kill him thinking that he is the beast. I think that this is a very important scene in the book because Simon was the only one that really knew that they were the beasts and that the thing on the hill was a human. Also that once they kill Simon everyone is extremely shook up and doesn't know what they should do know. Simon being the only one to really understand everything that was going on when he dies leaves both groups at a huge loss as well.

When they kill Simon the boys were all doing their dance that they do when they killed a pig and then it just so happens that this later on becomes the dance that they do right after they killed piggy. This dance always raised an alarming kinda of feeling when these young boys start dancing around and chanting "Kill the pig, Cut it's throat." This really shows the level of insanity that then brought the boys to killing their only real deep thinker.
