Who helps Ralph with the hut building?
Everybody helped with the construction of the first hut. But then the enthusiasm died down and it was only Ralph and Simon that would build the shelters. Simon also wandered off for long periods of time in the forest. Piggy never helped because he had asthma, which the boys called "ass-mar". The littluns just played and swam all day. Jack and his Hunters were too busy hunting or watching the signal fire.
In lord of the flies how many huts have the boys manage to build?
3the first one they all build the second one a group of themthen the third one only Simon & Ralph
What are the reasons Ralph thinks it is really important to build a fire?
The major point in To Build a Fire is the struggle of man vs. nature.
What 2 groups with differing goals are emerging?
When the conflict between Ralph and Jack gets bigger, the boys devide in two groups: Jack's and Ralph's group. the first one is more savage than the other. Ralph's group is only made up of Ralph, Simon, Piggy, Samneric and some of the little ones.
What do the huts symbolize in the Lord of the Flies?
The shelters provide the practical purpose of offering shelter from the weather. They also provide a substitute for home, a place where the boys can gather together in the hours of darkness to seek comfort from being close to other people. They provide an escape from the darkness and unknown which lies outside their walls. Symbolically the huts represent the failure of the boys society. Collectively the boys decided that they needed huts, collectively they agreed to put in the work to build them and then they all went off to bathe and play and left Ralph and Simon to get on with the work.
