As the boys were making their way from castle rock towards the mountain, during their search for the beast, they followed a pig run. Suddenly a boar appeared and charged them. Boys leapt aside but Ralph stood his ground and threw his spear. He hit the boar in the snout and it swerves aside, crashed through the undergrowth and escaped. Ralph was elated and related to the other boys how he had hit the boar with his spear. Typically Jack had to 'top' Ralph by showing the boys a shallow but bloody rip on his arm caused by the tusks of the boar. Jack told them he had tried to stab the boar with his spear. The boys were excited by the whole incident and spontaneously began a reenactment game. Robert acted the part of the boar and Jack shouted to his hunters, "Make a ring!" The boys began to hit Robert with the butts of their spears and then they got hold of his arms and legs. To quote from the book... 'Ralph, carried away by a sudden thick excitement, grabbed Eric's spear and Jabbed at Robert with it.' A little later we are told... 'Ralph too was fighting to get near, to get a handful of that brown, vulnerable flesh. The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering.' Jack grabbed Robert's hair and pulled his head back, then pretended to cut his throat. The game ended with Robert physically hurt, extremely frightened and in tears. He complained that if they were going to kill they needed to use a real pig. "We could use a littlun," suggested Jack and all the boys laughed, assuming he was joking.
In "Lord of the Flies," the incident with the boar occurs when the boys attempt to hunt and kill the boar for food. Jack gets close to the boar but fails to kill it, which frustrates him. This incident emphasizes the boys' descent into savagery and their struggle to maintain order and civilization on the island.

The boar charges at Jack while he is hunting with the other boys. Jack manages to wound the boar with his spear, but the boar escapes and runs away. This encounter further ignites Jack's obsession with hunting and violence.
He tosses a spear at it and hits it right in the nose.
In Chapter 4 of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, Ralph is mad at Jack because the hunters were supposed to maintain the signal fire. The hunters barely hear or react to Ralph's tongue lashing, more distracted by the joy that they actually caught a pig.
Piggy is the character who forgets his telephone number in "Lord of the Flies." This incident emphasizes Piggy's reliance on adult structures and signifies the detachment from the civilized world onto the island.
In Chapter 9 of "Lord of the Flies," Simon is killed by the other boys during a frenzied dance. It is a tragic moment where the boys mistake him for the beast due to their paranoia and fear.
The make-believe boar in a mock pig hunt is typically one of the participants in the hunt who plays the role of the boar, pretending to evade capture and creating an exciting challenge for the hunters. This role-playing element adds fun and skill development to the activity.
How is Simon from lord of the flies?
