Early in the chapter, Ralph is sitting on the beach, just kind of thinking. All of a sudden, he hears Simon making a prophecy. Simon keeps telling Ralph that Ralph will "get back to where you came from."
The only dance that occurs in this chapter is when the boys pretend to be hunting a boar (Robert) after they missed out on killing the real boar. What makes this one different from past ones is that they really lose sense of what they're doing and almost kill Robert. In the past they never did that.
I don't think they know what is happening, but it's clear to us. After this dance, they joke that next time they'll really kill something and that they should use a littleun. This really shows how brutal they are becoming.
