Answer 1

Ralph wants to let Jack take lead as he believes on his control and the way he leads the groups. He wanted to clean himself since he's sweaty.

conflict between Jack and Ralph deepened when Ralph expressed doubt that Jack and the boys could face the beast and this makes Jack angrily leave the group, taking other boys with him where they brutally kill a pig.

Ralph gets excited when they see the pig. This ironical as he was the one on the forefront.

After the enactment, Robert is nearly killed as the other boys got caught up in their excitement and lost sight of the limits of the game in theirdesire to kill.

The boys chant about killing the beast and cutting his throat and spill his blood. They killed a friend they knew and chant as though he was the beast, which they want to kill, but really the beast is the savagery inside of them.The boys got rilled up.

What is more horrific when Jack suggests that they use littun. Jack is silent and the other boys feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

Simon volunteers to go back to the beach alone and he wanted to go and inform Piggy where they were going.

Ralph and Roger climbed the mountain in order to have a look and saw a terrifying specter, a large, shadowy form with the shape of a giant ape that made a strange flapping sound in the wind. They hurried down the mountain to warned the group.

Ralph is described to be committed to morality and also the primary representative of order, civilization, and productive leadership. He illustrates the theme of civilization through his stupendous demonstration of characteristics of order, leadership, and power.
