Chapter 4 - Painted Faces and Long Hair

** 1. Explain the significance of this chapter's title. In what ways do the events in the chapter connect with the boys losing their connection to civilization and society while moving more towards a primitive savager ? ** ** The title shows how the boys are becoming more uncivilized. They become more savage in the way they look and act. Their hair is getting longer, they are wearing less clothes, and painting there faces. Without adult supervision they feel more free and wild, and that they can do things they could not do in a civilized society ** **2. In this chapter, we are introduced to some of the other older boys: Roger and Maurice. As they hurry to go swimming, they kick over some of the littluns' sandcastles and then Maurice hurries away. Compare that to Roger later throwing stones around one of the littluns, Henry, but never actually. Why does Maurice hurry away? And why does Roger aim for Henry but does not actually hit him? **

Maurice and Roger torment the littluns. Maurice runs away after he kicks one of littuns sand castles because of how he is used to the rules and authority and is afraid of getting in trouble when he does something that is frowned upon in society. Roger throws rocks around Henry because he wants to torment him and scare him. They are starting to stray from rules and authority. **3. Jack is slipping into native hunter mode more and more deeply. As a result he camouflages his face with "paint". What effect did the "mask" have on him. **

**4. What evidence in the text shows you that Piggy is being seen as an outcast more? **
 * Jack is starting to become more and more of a hunter. His ways of a hunter are starting to become more obvious because of how he made a mask to go hunting. The mask puts him into a deep hunting trans that makes him want to hunt, even though he has no time to do so. **

One reason that Piggy is seen as an outcast more is that he is called fatty more and more. Another reason is that Jack punched him in the stomach and knocked his glasses off and didn't even say sorry to him after that occurred. People reject his ideas as an initial reaction and call him names. Piggy is obviously becoming more of an outcast due to those factors.

**5. Do you think that Jack is being sincere with his apology or do you **
 * believe that it is a "verbal trick" as Ralph thinks. Why? **


 * I honestly believe that Jack’s apology was just a verbal trick as Ralph thinks. I say that because of how nonchalantly he said it which gives away the fact that he probably didn’t mean it. He also did not apologize to Piggy after his violent outburst on him which is also a giveaway the fact that it wasn’t a sincere apology. Finally, I don’t believe that it was a sincere apology because of how he probably apologized so the group will not turn on him. **
