Explain the scene and the mindset of the boys in this quotation. Here, struck down by the heat, the sow fell and the hunters hurled themselves at her.
This dreadful eruption from an unknown world made her frantic; she squealed and bucked and
the air was full of sweat and noise and blood and terror. Roger ran round the heap, prodding
with his spear whenever pigflesh appeared. Jack was on top of the sow, stabbing downward
with his knife. Roger found a lodgment for his point and began to push till he was leaning with
his whole weight. The spear moved forward inch by inch and the terrified squealing became a
highpitched scream. Then Jack found the throat and the hot blood spouted over his hands.
The sow collapsed under them and they were heavy and fulfilled upon her. The butterflies still
danced, preoccupied in the center of the clearing.
At last the immediacy of the kill subsided. The boys drew back, and Jack stood up,
holding out his hands.
"Look."
He giggled and flicked them while the boys laughed at his reeking palms. Then Jack
grabbed Maurice and rubbed the stuff over his cheeks. Roger began to withdraw his spear and
boys noticed it for the first time. Robert stabilized the thing in a phrase which was received
uproariously.
"Right up her !"
"Did you hear?"
"Did you hear what he said?"
"Right up her "
This time Robert and Maurice acted the two parts; and Maurice's acting of the pig's
efforts to avoid the advancing spear was so funny that the boys cried with laughter.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
