What is the final straw in Ralph and jacks relationship?
their problems lead them to hate each other and jack trying to take the leadership of Ralph
Why does Ralph feel that things have changed for the worse?
Ralph thinks things have changed for the worst because they have to start killing and eating each other to survive. btw ik this answer is 100% right
What do Ralph and Jack feel as they look at each other in the pool?
To quote directly from the book... 'They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate." I doubt that there are any homosexual inferences in Golding's choice of the word 'love.' I think that he was simply referring to the fact that each of the boys admired the other. Ralph admired Jack's self confidence and hunting skills but resented that Jack went off enjoying himself, hunting pigs, while Ralph was left virtually alone to build the much needed shelters. Jack admired Ralph's easy manner and popularity but he also resented the fact that Ralph was the leader when he felt that the position rightfully belonged to himself. The bafflement resulted simply from their inabilty to see each others viewpoints.
Lord of the flies what effect does their time in the bathing pool have on Ralph and Jack?
They become closer friends afterwards
How do you know that most the boys are strangers to each other before the crash?
At the start of the book Piggy asked Ralph what his name was so it was obvious they didn't know each other. Once Ralph had blown the conch and boys had started to arrive at the platform Piggy asked them for their names, evidence that they were strangers to him. When the choir, led by Jack, arrived Piggy made introductions, which indicated that the boys in the choir didn't know any of the other boys. At the end of the meeting when Ralph, Simon and Jack were heading off to climb the mountain Ralph told Piggy that his job was to collect names. If he'd known the other boys he'd have already known their names.
