Lord of the Flies was written by William Golding and published in 1954. The shape of the assembly area resembled a triangle, but a rather rough triangle. There was a large log from a felled palm tree for Ralph to sit on as he faced the boys. There was one log on the right side and 4 smaller logs on the left.
The following conversation takes place between Ralph and Jack, at the meeting in chapter 6: Beast from Air, and explains why Ralph was concerned, I quote..."Let's be moving," said Jack restlessly, "we're wasting time.""No we're not. What about the littluns?""Sucks to the littluns!""Someone's got to look after them.""Nobody has so far.""There was no need! Now there is. Piggy'll look after them."Until this point the boys had no reason to suppose that there was anything more dangerous on the island that pigs. Ralph had therefore felt that the littluns could be largely left to their own devices. With the report from Samneric that they had actually seen, and been chased by, a real beast with claws, teeth and wings, Ralph felt that there was now a genuine reason why the littluns should be 'protected.'
Ralph does not "speak" through the conch he blows it and makes a sort of booming trumpet noise. Piggy tells him, "I knew a boy who had one of those, on his garden wall it was, and he could make a sound with it by blowing into it." However, during one of the first meetings, Ralph was having trouble keeping control over the other boys. He decided that who ever has the conch in their possession will be the only one who can speak. Jack agrees with his decision, and it helps keep the meetings under control.
