The boys only had one plan for rescue, which was to keep a signal fire burning on the mountain top. Jack made the offer that his "hunters" would accept the responsibility of keeping the fire lit. Unfortunately, on the day that Ralph spotted a passing ship, Jack had decided that he need all of his hunters to effectively hunt a pig. As a result the fire was left untended and it went out. The ship passed by and the boys remained unrescued.

∙ 12y agobecause of the signal fire. Jack and his hunters were meant to keep the signal fire going but because Jack was hypnotised by the desire to hunt, he takes his hunters and retreats into the jungle to hunt a pig. When he is successful they return to the beach and realise that they let the fire out, and that a ship had passed but had not seen them because there was no signal fire

Why doesn't Ralph call back the boys who follow Jack in Lord of the Flies?
Ralph is worried that if he blows the conch and the boys fail to return it will spell the end of all hope of maintaining rules and common sense on the island. He feels that if they ignore the conch even once then they will ignore it permanently. By not blowing the conch Ralph hopes to avoid that situation. He feels that perhaps he can blow it the next day, in more normal circumstances, and that probably the boys will still obey the call.

What is the signifiance of chapter 2 title in Lord of the Flies?
If you read the end of the chapter, A gift for darkness, its the scene where we see Simon speaking to the pigs head, who calls himself, the Lord of the flies. In this scene, the Lord of the Flies says, "There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And Im the beast." He also says, "Fancy thinking that the beast was something you could hunt and kill."I am well aware that the word Beelezebob, meaning Satan, is the Hebrew word for, the Lord of the Flies. The beast is obviously Satan, the pigs head, speaking in Simons thoughts. The actual title however, signifies that the children on the island are the flies, and their lord is Satan, particulary the ones that Jack converted. The Beast sates, "Do you see, you're not wanted. We are going to have fun on this island. So don't try it or else we shall do you." WE being Satan and his flies, the FLIES being Jack, Roger Maurice, etc. Satan also stated that Simon would indeed be killed and that he would meet him down below. This particular scene in the book reminded me of when Jesus was speaking with Satan in the garden, and how Satan said that Jesus's plan would fail, 'so don't bother trying it.' Jesus was sacrificed just as Simon was, except Jesus was sacrificed by the will of god, and Simon was killed by the will of Satan.So, to put it blantly, the title signifies Satan being in control, because this time, it is not man he overpowers, which he sometimes does, but it is children that he is in control of. As we well know, Satan is a deciever. "Im the reason why things are what they are.," said the Lord of the Flies. Children are represented as flies in this book because children are often easy to decieve and they are so very well decieved, that they end up going bloodthirsty and Simon dies because of it. The reason for the line, "Don try to escape, don't you dare try it... or we shall kill you" is that Satan could not take control over Simon, and he tried to convince him not to escape, he could not decieve Simon because Simon was good hearted and special. When Ralph intervened with Satans plan to try and escape, Jack and his tribe, the flieschased after Ralph and attempted to kill him... until the pilot showed up.Happy four twenty.

Lord of the Flies in chapter 5 what problem does Ralph address at the assembly?
In chapter 5: Beast from Water Ralph tries to put a stop to some things which he feels are going wrong with the boys' society on the island. He reminded the boys that they all agreed to use certain rocks, which were swept clean by the sea, as a toilet but chastised them because some of them were using the area of the fruits as a toilet, which was unhygienic. He also told the boys off for allowing the fire to go out, reminding them that it was their only hope of being rescued. Ralph is essentially frustrated with them all because they fail to grasp the importance of carrying through their own decisions, for allowing temporary and unimportant issues to stand in the way of what really mattered. He rules that in future there should be only one fire, the one on the mountain top, hoping that by forcing the boys to use it for their cooking he will ensure that it remains lit. Ralph tries to convince the boys that the beast does not exist but Percival's revelation that the beast comes from the sea and the fact that the meeting is held when it is going dark work against Ralph. A subsequent vote confirms the boys continued belief in ghosts and beasts and the meeting descends into chaos.
