What does it mean when roger sharpens a stick at both ends for Ralph?

The lord of the flies originally hung on a stick sharpened at both ends. One end in the earth and the other supporting the pig head. Roger intends to do this same thing to Ralph if they kill him, but replacing the pigs head with Ralphs. They dont kill Ralph :)


In Lord of the Flies What do they do with the sharpened stick?

Well, they use the first sharpened stick to put the pig's head on. They don't actually do anything with the second stick, but they planned to kill Ralph and stick him on there, just like the Lord of the Flies. Luckily for him, the naval officer came and the suspenseful chase through the woods is ended.

What does Jack do with the head of the pig in Lord of the Flies?

Why does roger sharpen a stick at both ends in lord of the flies?

The pigs head, which was offered to the beast, was mounted on a spear which had been sharpened at both ends. One point to hold the head and one point to stick into the ground. The implication is that Jack intends to behead Ralph and then mount his head on a stick as an offering to the beast.
