What happens after Piggy's death in Lord of the Flies?
After the death of Piggy Jack screamed at Ralph that there wasn't a tribe for him any more and that the conch was gone, then he hurled his spear at Ralph with the full intention of killing him. Ralph could see the rest of Jack's tribe gathering, ready to charge him so he ran, avoiding the spears which they threw at him. Afterwards Ralph punched the pig's skull from the stick on which it was mounted, in the jungle clearing, and took the stick to use as a weapon. He returned in the evening to castle rock and spoke to Samneric who were on guard. They gave him some meat and told him that Jack planned to hunt him the next day. The following moring, having found Ralph's plans by torturing the twins, Jack had a boulder rolled into the thicket where Ralph was hiding. When this failed to drive Ralph out or kill him Jack lit a fire hoping to smoke Ralph out. The fire quickly got out of control. Ralph made a run for it through the smoke filled jungle and eventually ended up on the beach, near the shelters, where a naval officer was standing. A passing naval vessel had seen the smoke caused by Jack setting the entire island alight, and had come to investigate.
