How do the boys plan to be rescued?
The boys light the island on fire to drive Ralph out of the forest. Marines/army people see it and go to the shore where Ralph runs into one. He thinks they are crazy boys playing a game, but Ralph just breaks down and cries, along with the others. Crying for the innocence they lost on the island.
What is ironic about the fire the tribe creates to flush out Ralph?
It's so thickly coated with irony, Ralph's plan throughout the entire book is to keep a fire going to be rescued, Jack could care less. Also, Jack wanted to flush out the island with fire just to finish Ralph off, when instead it brings rescue to Ralph.
In Chapter 12 what are the two methods that the boys use to get Ralph out of the hiding spot?
Once Jack is certain that Ralph is hiding in the thicket he puts two different plans into effect. Firstly a boulder is levered from the top of castle rock and sent crashing into the thicket. When this fails to kill Ralph or drive him out of hiding Jack puts his second plan into effect. He lights a fire, hoping to smoke Ralph out of hiding, and unintentionally sets the entire island on fire.
What does jack plan to steal from Ralph?
Well in chapter 10 Jack and his tribe of savages invade Ralph's tribe (made of up Ralph, Sam and Eric, Piggy, and one/two littluns) in order to steal Piggy's glasses, which is overall the power to start a fire on the island. Jack might have mentioned this plan in chapter 9 so I'm hoping this is the right answer to your question.
Why do the boys plan on raiding Ralph's camp in chapter 8?
The boys raided Ralph's camp in Ch. 8 because they needed fire. While they were there, they also attempted to do a bit of "recruiting" to further weaken Ralph's clan.
