The boys arrive to the island and realize there is no adults there, so they have to look after themselves. Jack reminds
Ralph of the pig they found trapped in the vines in the jungle,
and Ralph agrees that they will need hunters to kill animals for
meat. Ralph says that, at meetings, the conch shell will be
used to determine which boy has the right to speak. Whoever holds
the conch shell will speak, and the others will listens
until they receive the shell in their turn. Piggy yells about the fact that no one knows they have
crashed on the island and that they could be stuck there for a long
time. A long period is too harrowing
for many of the boys, and the entire group becomes silent and scared. One
of the younger children, claims that he saw a “beast” or monster
the night before. The older boys try to reassure the group that there
is no monster. The boys collect a lot of dead wood and use the lenses
from Piggy’s glasses to focus the sunlight and set the wood on fire. The same boy who told them about the beast, said that is was playing over by the fire and now its missing.
