Ralph's first decision, after being elected leader, was to confirm that Jack was still in charge of the choir. His second decision was to allow Jack to choose what he wanted the choir's role to be, Jack said, 'Hunters.' Ralph's third decision was to light a signal fire on the top of the mountain. Lighting a fire was a very important decision and was the only realistic action which the boys could take to increase the possibility of their being rescued. The fire and all it represented became the cornerstone of Ralph's future policies and encapsulated all he stood for. Ralph first two decision were made in a gesture of friendship and consolation towards Jack. While that might have seemed a good idea at the time those two decision were probably the worse decisions that Ralph ever made in his life and they came back to haunt him. By giving Jack power it didn't console him at all, it merely fed his desire for more power. Ralph gave Jack a ready made audience of followers for his alternative society. He also gave them the excuse to hunt and kill pigs, allowing Jack and his followers to avoid constructive jobs in favour of enjoying themselves and indulging in violent and savage activities.
