At the begining of the chapter, while Ralph and Piggy are bathing in the pool Ralph asked "Where's everybody?" Ralph specifically refers to Samneric and Bill, which would indicate that he believed that there were at least five boys in his group, including himself. Piggy pointed beyond the platform and replied "That's where they have gone. Jack's party." So in fact all that actually remained of Ralph's group were Ralph and Piggy. By the morning after the party, and the killing of Simon, Samneric had rejoined Ralph's group.
After they had finished building the fire near to the shelters Ralph looked around and to quote from the book... Then for the first time he saw how few biguns there were and understood why the work had been so hard. Then Ralph asked "Where's Maurice?" and a little later asked "Where's Bill and Roger?" Piggy replied "I expect they've gone. I expect they won't play either."

Piggy is the voice of reason in chapter 2 because he insists that they make a fire so they can be rescued. Also in this chapter they use his glasses to light the fire.
yes.
piggy, in chapter 2
At the end of Chapter 2 (P47), the author mentions "the drum-roll". What kind of figure of speech is it? State its symbolic or foreshadowing function.??CAN SOMEONE HELP ME??!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The first littlun goes missing in Chapter 2 of "Lord of the Flies." His disappearance foreshadows the darker events to come on the island.

Piggy is the one who names the blossoms candle buds in "Lord of the Flies." He does so in Chapter 2 of the novel.
By Piggy's glasses and the sun reflecting off them
All of the boys climb the mountain and build a huge fire.
The first littleun to go missing is a shy little boy with a birthmark on his face who was the first to claim that he saw a "beastie." He went missing in chapter 2 when the boys lit their first fire. Piggy noticed that the boy was gone and everyone feared that he could have accidentally fallen in the fire. They quickly forget about the boy. And we are never to find out what happened to him. Hope that helped :)
The boys in Lord of the Flies are from England, to quote Jack, in chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain... "After all, we're not savages. We're English; and the English are best at everything."
One example of repetition in Lord of the Flies chapter 2 is the mention of the "scar" left on the island by the crashed plane. Another example is the boys continuously mentioning the need for a leader and discussing the idea of using a conch shell as a symbol of authority.
Piggy is the voice of reason in chapter 2 because he insists that they make a fire so they can be rescued. Also in this chapter they use his glasses to light the fire.
In Chapter 2 of "Lord of the Flies," Jack still maintains his appearance as a proper choirboy. However, as the novel progresses, his appearance becomes more disheveled and savage-like due to his descent into savagery. By the end of the book, Jack's appearance is drastically different from how it was in Chapter 2, reflecting his transformation into a primitive and savage leader.
In chapter 2 of Lord of the Flies, the boys start the fire by using Piggy's glasses to focus the sun's rays onto dry leaves and twigs. This method allows them to create a flame and start the fire for a signal to potential rescuers.
In "Lord of the Flies," Piggy's glasses are taken in chapter 2, on page 40 in the 1999 Penguin Books edition. The boys take Piggy's glasses to start a fire.
