Why did the ship fail to see the boys?
the fire on top of the mountain was out. Jack had taken the boys who were supposed to be keeping the fire alight away to hunt, meaning the fire was unattended and there was no smoke for a ship to see and hence the boys be rescued
Why is Ralph so upset the boys let the fire go out?
The fire is the boys' only hope of rescue from the island. When the boys go hunting and instead of minding the fire as Ralph instructed them to do, a ship passes by the island. Had the fire been lit, the people on the ship may have seen the signal and rescued the boys. This is why Ralph is angry; the other boys' disobediance ruined his chance of escaping the island.
How does Ralph plan to attract attention to the island?
Ralph suggests a signal fire, which the boys light on the top of the mountain. The intention is to add green branches to produce smoke to attract the attention of any ship or plane which they might see.
Does ramona singer and alex mccord smoke?
No ! We are not lucky I would like to see Ramona smoke, they would both be great at smoking though that is certain.
What does Ralph plan to do to help the boys get rescued in lord of the flies?
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.
