Lord of the Flies key Passage #1. p. 31

In this key passage, it feels like you are hunting with the boys. Thus showing us, that Golding is using imagery, to make the it feel like you are in the book with them hunting. You can start to see how Jack is starting to become less civilized. When Jack pauses to cut the piglets throat, it's like there is a struggle between what civilized brain wants him to do, and what his instincts tell him to do. As jack is walking a head of the other boys he takes out his knife from the sheath and slammed it into the tree, showing that Jack is angry. Jack is angry because he is criticized because he did  not stick the piglet. This also shows us that Jack has some resentment  toward Ralph. As told in third person, this passage make you feel at home with the characters, it's all most as if you are the characters. Something else that could be noticed is the way the author uses some of the words that other people would most likely use differently. Such as the word hiatus.  Golding used both words pause and hiatus. With hiatus meaning the same as pause, you can tell the one strong literary element is the Dialect in which Golding uses to describes the characters and their action.
