Ralph insists that a signal fire must be made so that when his father comes to rescue them on a ship, the men on board will see the smoke and know where to find them. Also, burning things is fun.

Why does Ralph refuse to paint faces in lord of the flies?

Ralph refuses to paint faces in "Lord of the Flies" because he believes it is unnecessary and a waste of time. He values practical tasks that will help them be rescued rather than focusing on superficial appearances like the boys who paint their faces. Additionally, Ralph sees painting faces as a regression to savagery and a symbol of their descent into chaos on the island.


When Ralph says the boys have 2 goal's what are they?

I can't remember that Ralph ever mentioned any "goals." However during the meeting in chapter two Ralph does say "We want to have fun. And we want to be rescued." A couple of paragraphs later he says, "There's another thing. We can help then to find us.... we must make a fire." So I guess those are the two goals, to light a signal fire, keep it going, and get rescued.


How and why do the boys make fire?

The boys build a fire after Ralph tells them that they need a signal fire in order to help them to get rescued. They build the fire on the top of the mountain where it will be most clearly visible to any passing ships or airplanes. The boys use wood from a pocket of jungle growing near to the summit. The fire is eventually lit by Ralph, using Piggy's spectacles as a buring glass to focus the heat of the sun.
