∙ 15y agoDuring the second asembly the littlun with the mulberry coloured birth mark on his face raised the subject of the snake-thing. Although the boys mocked the littlun many of them felt a distinct sense of unease. Ralph boosted their morale and raised their spirits by telling them that he'd decided that they wanted to have fun and they wanted to get rescued. This simple statement shifted the boys attention away from the idea of beasts in the dark jungle and focused them instead on positive thoughts. Ralph lifted the boys spirits further when he said, "We want to be rescued; and of course we shall be rescued."
Instead of going to the other side of island to check the fire the boys want to make a fort. The boys also want to roll rocks.
Piggy
Ralph thinks that "the beast" is on the mountain top, preventing them from having the fire there, to quote directly from the book, he said... "And now that thing squats by the fire as though it didn't want us to be rescued---"

Jack want to steal Piggys specs and steal the fire.
He could provide food, and protection from the beast.
Ralph wants to build huts but jack wants to hunt he says they need meat more than they need huts
the mood is that the boys think they can do wat ever they want since they have no adults on the island.

In the novel The Lord of the Flies, there is no "governmental" structure. There are numerous young boys stranded on an island together (the oldest of which I do believe to be about fifteen) with no rules or consequences. With no structure and no rules to follow, these children do whatever they want whenever they want, thus resulting in the fall of their "society."
Ralph says, "As long as it is light we're brave enough. But then? And now that things squats by the fire as though it didn't want us to be rescued----."
democratic
No but, in chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness, Jack did ask the rest of the boys to put their hands up if they didn't want Ralph to be chief anymore. None of the boys raised their hands.
