chapter 5 summary

Ralph called an emergency meeting to talk about the current problem. This is the latest meeting so far. It is already after dark. At last, Ralph is respecting Piggy now and views his as the same. Ralph expresses his thoughts,worries and fears about what was happening to the group. The shelters were finished by himself and Simon; the assigned place for bathroom use near a certain area of rocks is no longer used and the children go just about anywhere even near the fruit trees they eat from. He reiterates that the signal fire must stay lit and that fire shall burn only on the mountains, noting again Piggy's earlier statement when part of the island had been burnt due to their mistakes. The signal fire is higher in rank than the hunting and killing of pigs. Many of the children laugh at him,not taking what he said seriously.
