Roger throws rocks at Henry in Chapter 4 of "Lord of the Flies," on page 62 (Penguin Books edition, 2006).
Roger throws rocks to hit Henry because he enjoys the sense of power and control that it gives him over someone else. This aggressive behavior also reflects the growing savagery and descent into cruelty that many of the boys on the island experience as they become more detached from society's rules and norms.
Roger throws stones at a littlun named Henry but deliberately misses him. This act shows the gradual decline of civility and empathy among the boys on the island in "Lord of the Flies."
Roger throws rocks at the little kids to assert his power and dominance over them. This behavior demonstrates the deterioration of societal norms and the emergence of violence among the boys on the island as they descend into savagery. It also foreshadows the dark and destructive tendencies within human nature when removed from the constraints of civilization.
Roger's hesitation to throw stones directly at Henry suggests that he still possesses some level of restraint or societal conditioning preventing him from causing direct harm. By throwing stones near Henry, he understands the power he wields without fully crossing the line to intentional violence. It foreshadows Roger's increasing cruelty and brutality as the story progresses.
Maurice and Roger throw rocks at the castles the boys are building, destroying their hard work and causing frustration among the group. This destructive behavior underscores the growing tensions and breakdown of order among the boys on the island.
In my edition of the book it happens on page 67 of chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair.
For all of his life Roger, like other boys, has been told by adults not to do certain things, such as throwing stones at people and things. So despite his genuine desire to throw stones at Henry, with the intention of hitting and hurting the littlun, the years of 'conditioning' caused him to subconsciously throw wide of the target. Later in the book Roger overcame his 'conditioning' and allowed his true nature to blossom, with fatal results for Piggy.
Henry is a minor character in "Lord of the Flies," depicted as one of the littluns on the island. One way to describe him is through the perspective of the boys' diminishing innocence and growing savagery: "Henry looked around, ran back a few paces, and tried to swim. His qualities are innocence and hope. The boys throw stones showing their wicked stream."
