In this novel there isn't just one controversial issue. Instead the whole book is filled with them. One of these controversial issues I've decided to write about is the bloodlust of the children. At the beginning there wasn't much brutality. Roger threw a few rocks at the liluns but besides that they were still behaving like young English boys should. That was soon to change.
As time went on Ralph and Jack became increasingly against each other. Ralph was voted leader in which jack was not happy about. Jack is appointed to the job of hunter. When the boys scan the island Jack has an opportunity to kill a pig but he hesitates. He vows that next time he will make the kill. This is the beginning of the bloodlust I feel. There wasn't an actual killing but he hints that there will be plenty of that later. Ralph try's to create order among them by having meetings with the conch. They decide to make a signal fire and have to keep it going. Jack volunteers his hunters to keep the fire ablaze. They let the fire get out of hand and one of the liluns who was playing by the fire disappears. Ralph is filled with guilt but the boys go on like nothing happened. This is another sign pointing to the total loss of control.
The hunter's bloodlust really starts to heat up after they catch their first pig. They came back covered in blood, singing and dancing. Ralph and piggy are angry because the hunters let the fire go out. Jack and his crew are so crazed about the kill that they barely listen. As soon as piggy starts talking about the problem Jack slaps him in the face and breaks one of piggy's lenses. This is big because Jack is starting to use violence publicly against piggy and some of the smaller boys. Jack and his tribe are growing in their independence. They don't do anything that Ralph asks of them. They just want to kill and dance wildly.
