Q: Why does Golding use such graphic description to show the death of the sow?
- To demonstrate Jack's savagery (The theme of savagery is clearly illustrated here.)
- To show off his descriptive abilities (While this passage certainly does this, it is not his real purpose.)
- To show what a good hunter Jack and the boys are (While this may be true, this was demonstrated earlier.)
- To show how hard it is to kill a pig (Sadly, killing a new mother is all too easy for the boys.)
