Why do Ralph and piggy go to castle rock?
Ralph wants to get Piggy's specs back and Piggy wanted to kill Jack there and then.
What feast does Piggy supply for Ralph and the fire builders?
Piggy and the twins come to Ralph with a feast of properly ripened fruit.
What are Jack and his hunters looking for when they invade the shelter of Ralph Piggy and Samneric and how does this symbolize a dissapearance of order and clear sightedness?
They raid the shelters to steal Piggy's glasses, in order to light a cooking fire. The removal of the means to light a signal fire from Ralph's democratic group by Jacks 'tribe' symbolises the extinguishing of the clear sighted goal of returning to the civilised world and the supremacy of savagery over law and order.
What was Ralph's reaction when Piggy suggested letting the signal fire go out?
In Chapter 10, Piggy suggests that they let the fire go out at night and relight it every morning because he concludes that the smoke will not be visible at night. At this point, Ralph is frustrated that Jack has started his own tribe. Ralph is also discouraged that only he and Piggy seem intent on keeping the fire going. Upon hearing Piggy's suggestion, Ralph agrees to let the fire go out. However, Ralph thinks it would be ideal to have the fire going all the time. The fire also gives Ralph a sense of security, especially at night: Ralph stood up, feeling curiously defenseless with the darkness pressing in.
What is the significance of the title the Shell and the Glasses?
"In this chapter, Piggy's glasses are stolen by Jack . The Glasses are of great importance since it is only by them that fire can be created. At first , Ralph and Samneric think that Jack's raiding party came for the Conch but in reality , they came for the Glasses."
