What does jack plan to steal from Ralph?

Well in chapter 10 Jack and his tribe of savages invade Ralph's tribe (made of up Ralph, Sam and Eric, Piggy, and one/two littluns) in order to steal Piggy's glasses, which is overall the power to start a fire on the island. Jack might have mentioned this plan in chapter 9 so I'm hoping this is the right answer to your question.


Did Jack and some of his savages came to the shelters on the beach and steal the conch in the Lord of the Flies?

Yes, in "Lord of the Flies," Jack and some of his followers attack Ralph and Piggy at the shelters, resulting in Piggy's death and the theft of the conch. This symbolizes the complete breakdown of order and civilization on the island.


Do you think Piggy is fully aware of how far from civilzed behavior Jack and his followers have degenerated?

In a word, no. Piggy is an outsider who acts, talks and thinks differently from the other boys. His big speech on the causeway leading to Castle Rock proved just how out of touch he was. He talked down to Jack's tribe, as if he were an elderly school teacher chastising a group of unruly schoolboys. The boys were indeed just unruly schoolboys but in their eyes they were a tribe of savages and anyone with any degree of understanding would have realised that they wouldn't appreciate being talked down to, especially by a fat kid who they had a low opinion of anyway. Piggy also told the boys that it would be better to be in Ralph's group rather than become a gang of painted savages, when it was blatantly obvious that they had already made the choice to become savages. Piggy's total lack of understanding of the other boys served only to annoy and irritate them rather than persuade them to be sensible, as was his obvious intent. Piggy essentially signed both his own and Ralph's death warrants by virtue of his insensitivity and lack of understanding.
