If you have read the book The Lord of the Flies you might remember in the very beginning there is a little boy with a birthmark who has a nightmare and then disappears. He is referenced a few times later on but never fully explained and no body is found. If you've read the book, have you heard any theories

I think I remember that.

That's the kid with the long name, right? The little kid who speaks at the end of the meeting in chapter 5?

He is merely used as an example of how things aren't being run properly. They don't keep track of everyone and when he disappears no one notices. It's basically a point Ralph makes against Jacks system and irresponsible acts by the hunters or whatever.

Yeah I'm pretty sure when they first got crazy and had that forest fire, since things got out of control he died in the fire.

I would not exactly call it sodomy; they just shoveda spear up its ***.

So you wouldn't call is sodomy, but you would call it sodomy?

And the kid just dies in the fire. Its to signify their innocence that is being lost.

I pretty sure they didn't do that to the wild boar, I thought they just put it's head on a spear.
