In Lord of the Flies how does the author describe Ralph's flight across the island?
It is described in a way of animalistic savagery, which, ironically, is what Ralph has been denying throughout the book, but is what in the end leads him to the beach, and his survival.
In Lord of the Flies why does Ralph lie about their contribution to Simon's death?
I don't think that Ralph deliberately lies. I think that Ralph is so traumatised by what he experienced that he finds it difficult to come to terms with it. Ralph does actually say to Piggy things such as you didn't see what they did and it was murder, so he isn't denying what happened, he just doesn't want to relive the experience by discussing it with Samneric and apparently they feel the same way.
When jack yells got it what does Ralph think have caused jack's excitement?
a ship
What is the difference in the way the two camps deal with Simon's death in lord in the flies?
At castle rock, Jack's camp, they saw simons death a whole different way than the other camp. They thought that simon in fact was the beast and the beast can change forms. Ralph's side thought it was murder, because that is a civilized thought, used in court cases. Ralph's side had a civilized way of thinking about it and Jack had a savage way of thinking about it to justify why he killed him.
What do all the littluns laugh about while Ralph is talking in chapter 5?
The littluns' are the younger boys aged around six years old or so, some a little older. They laugh at Ralph because they think he is funny and they are laughing at the way that he is talking in Lord of the Flies.
