1 Now we come to the most important thing.
2 The fire is the most important thing on the island.
3 The thing is--fear can't hurt you any more than a dream.
4 This made you think; because thought was a valuable thing, that got results.
5 Then they inched the grotesque dead thing up the rock and toppled it over on top.
6 Piggy paused for breath and stroked the glistening thing that lay in Ralph's hands.
7 He sought, charitable in his happiness, to include them in the thing that had happened.
8 Now the shell was no longer a thing seen but not to be touched, Ralph too became excited.
9 All three of them tried to convey the sense of the pink live thing struggling in the creepers.
10 Jack held out his hands for the conch and stood up, holding the delicate thing carefully in his sooty hands.
11 Yet now, he saw, no one had had the wit--not himself nor Jack, nor Piggy--to bring a stone and wedge the thing.
12 Ralph felt a kind of affectionate reverence for the conch, even though he had fished the thing out of the lagoon himself.
13 He capered toward Bill, and the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness.
14 The being that had blown that, had sat waiting for them on the platform with the delicate thing balanced on his knees, was set apart.
15 Jack himself shrank at this cry with a hiss of indrawn breath, and for a minute became less a hunter than a furtive thing, ape-like among the tangle of trees.
16 Clearly they were of the opinion that Jack had done the decent thing, had put himself in the right by his generous apology and Ralph, obscurely, in the wrong.
17 His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.
