In Chapter 10, Piggy suggests that they let the fire go out at night and relight it every morning because he concludes that the smoke will not be visible at night. At this point, Ralph is frustrated that Jack has started his own tribe. Ralph is also discouraged that only he and Piggy seem intent on keeping the fire going. Upon hearing Piggy's suggestion, Ralph agrees to let the fire go out. However, Ralph thinks it would be ideal to have the fire going all the time. The fire also gives Ralph a sense of security, especially at night: Ralph stood up, feeling curiously defenseless with the darkness pressing in.

Why would the blinkers on a 95 Chevy Lumina suddenly stop working and how would you go about fixing it?

1) Replace flasher unit OR 2) Clean turn signal contacts with WD40 Had same problem. No turn signals but hazards work. Online research suggested most probably flasher needs replaced or bad contacts in turn signal switch. Mine started working out of the blue - I think contacts were a little gunky. Someone with similar problems suggested blasting the inside of the turn signal switch with WD40 to clean any gunk and corrosion from the contacts.


What is the issue with piggy and ralphs plan?

Piggy and Ralph's plan to build a signal fire is flawed because they don't prioritize maintaining it properly. They struggle to keep the fire going, resulting in missed opportunities for rescue. Additionally, their lack of supervision allows the fire to spiral out of control and contribute to a disastrous outcome.


What is a carrier reinsertion oscillator?

A carrier reinsertion oscillator is an electronic circuit used in a radio receiver that is designed to receive single side band carried suppressed radio transmissions. As suggested by the name, in a single side band carried suppressed signal, the carrier signal is suppressed (not transmitted) to save power and/or bandwidth. Before the single side band carried suppressed signal can be decoded to extract the original audio signal, the carrier must first be reinserted. This must be done accurately, otherwise the recovered audio signal will be unintelligible.
