Lotf 2&3

The boys find themselves summoning themselves to meetings with the sound of the conch she'll, this still represents order that they are trying to keep. They try to discuss to eachother that their was a pig, and that they could kill it to eat. The conch she'll is then used to decide who gets to talk in these meetings. This can go wrong as they might not be able to wait for eachother's turns. They have to take care of eachother; and they aren't old enough to take care of themselves. I feel like they almost feel like keeping order will make it so they are rescued earlier. The beast is also introduced in this section, and it represent the inner savage that all the boys are afraid of. It only makes sense that the younger boys are more afraid of it seeing as they have to rely on the older boys to take care of them. When civilization is broken down; what's keeping the beast from being released on anyone. Jack chases a pig through the jungle but the pig escapes once again. The boys then begin to build huts to try to house them for their survival. Ralph and Simon are the only ones who build the Huts. This shows that no one else will take responsibility to build them; they are making it easier to escape from their civil sides. And while all the other boys are playing in the water; it shows that that's the only way they can cope with the stress. It makes it easier to think that a means of surviving is as simple as a day on the beach.
