Ralph complains that the group has no longer followed the rules or kept up to standards. They go to the bathroom wherever they please and make a mess of the place. They don't build shelters or help out at all. And they let the fire go out. Ralph especially stresses the importance of never letting the fire go out. He scolds and yells at them. He also says that there will be no fires other than the one on the mountain because they waste time making the fires.
Ralph ridicules it as pointless by saying "yes and then we could build a radio and a televison." When Piggy explains that all you need is a stick to make a sundial Ralph tells Piggy to, "Shut up."
In the meeting which takes during chapter 5: Beast from the Water Ralph said, and I quote... Now I say this and make it a rule, becasue I'm chief. We won't have a fire anywhere but on the mountain. Ever." He then expanded this statement... "Because if you want a fire to cook fish or crab, you can jolly well go up the mountain."
Because Piggy knows how to blow the conch but Ralph is the one who actually blows the conch
he asked about a "beastie" and Ralph denied its existence to not make him worry or comfort him.... this is based off a summary I've heard earlier this week on the book so i vould be wrong. i am sure it's a "beastie"
