Piggy tells Ralph to blow through the shell to help find other boys. The sound of the shell led other boys onto the beach. Within the group is a boys choir which is lead by a boy named Jack. The boys make fun Piggy for his name & the way he looks. The boys think it would be a good idea to elect a leader. The choir kids vote Jack but the other kids vote Ralph. Ralph & Jack get another choir member named Simon to go explore the beach. The boys feel a bond forming while serching the beach. They reach the end of the jungle with a bunch of rocks. They then climb the up one side of the hill. From the top they can see there is no other people on the island. As they head back to the beach they find a pig stuck in the vines.
