When Jack tried to smoke Ralph out of his hiding pace in the thicket he lit a fire. The fire quickly got out of control and soon the entire island was burning. Unintentionally this proved to be a good thing. The smoke from the fire attracted the attention of a passing naval vessel. This led to the saving of Ralph from the hunters and ultimately to the rescue of all the remaining boys.
In basic terms, there is a war on the Island, as there is an atomic war in the "adult" world. Also, Simon represents Jesus and Jack is used to represent the bad people, which occur in the adult world. Ralph represents the democratic leaders.
There are no Swallows and Amazons in Lord of the Flies. "Swallows and Amazons" is the title of a book by the author Arthur Ransome. "Lord of the Flies" is a completely different book written by William Golding, they have nothing at all in common with each other. Early in the book when Ralph tells the assembly that they are on an island, a good island, some of the boys call out, "Like Treasure Island, Swallows and Amazons and The Coral Island."

Yes , The only animals on the island are the wild pigs. They kill them for food.
The island in lord of the flies is a microcosm because the island is supposed to be a small concentrated of society as a whole, while the boys on the island are symbolic of the population of the world as a whole. Meaning that everyone in the world has the potential for evil, whether the exercise this or not.
