Very angrily Piggy explains to the laughing boys the awful truths after they lit a huge bonfire:
"Cooked fruit, that's what we'll have to eat, and roast pork. And that's nothing to laugh about!"
"That little 'un that had a mark on his-face- where is-he now? I tell you I don't see him." The boy is now missing, or dead

The fire rages out of control: in the aftermath, Piggy admonishes the group for the lack of foresight and reveals some awful truths. What are they? Piggy is very upset by the time their fire has burned out and ends up drawing to the other boy's attention the large fire that is out of control in the forest on the other side of the mountain. He explains the truth to the boys, how they have set fire to the whole island and that they will have cooked fruit and roast pork which is nothing to laugh about. He then proceeds to explain the worst fact of all, the small boy who had spoken earlier about 'the beastie' was missing and no one had noticed thanks to Ralph's lack of leadership in counting the group. This eventually distresses the group as they come to terms with possibly losing one of the small children. |

It seems that again Piggy is the only one that has a realistic view of what the fire has done. How are they going to survive if the island is burnt? Cooked pork will eventually go off and if all the pigs are cooked then they will run out very quickly. Piggy is the only one smart enough to realise that this isn't a laughing matter. |

Piggy is the only one smart enough to realise that this isn't a laughing matter. this is also a moment where people actually start listening to Piggy and realise he has something to say. they see that he has a point. The severity of the issue of the lost little boy makes people see that they should listen to Piggy |

Piggy is very angry that the group let the fire get out of control and that now the group will have coooked fruits and roast pork to eat, which is nothing to laugh about. He also says that the little boy from before that was talking about the beast was missing, he says that the boy could either be missing or dead.

There are some things exclaimed by Piggy once everyone has begun to realise that the fire has gone out of control. Not only is the island being burnt, but the things on the island which are in fact going to prove useful later on are indeed burning in the fire like the fruit and pigs which could have been used for food. What is worse is that the little boy who proclaimed to have seen the beastie has seemly all of the sudden disappeared, and presumably gone back down to the beach, right where the huge fire is. |

The fire rages out of control: in the aftermath, Piggy admonishes the group for the lack of foresight and reveals some awful truths. What are they? after the initial fire burns out the boys attention is directed to the bigger fire that is starting to arise on the other side of the mountain. this angers piggy and he tells them that they will set the whole island on fire which will cook all the fruits and pigs on the island which isn't something to laugh about and he points out that the little boy that was telling them about the snake, the "beastie", on the island has disappeared and is not with the group which disorientates the group of boys. |

Piggy tells the boys that the out of control fire will burn up the island and all they will have to eat is cooked fruit and roast pork. He also says that the little boy with the birthmark on his face is missing. This questions Ralph's authority.

Piggy dismisses the group as acting like a pack of kids, running up the mountain as soon as Ralph said the word fire. While all the boys jump and cheer when the fire gets out of control Piggy is dismayed, pointing out that if the whole island burns, they'll have nothing to way but burnt fruit and cooked pork. At the close of the chapter Piggy is the one to realise that the small boy with the birthmark on his cheek isn't among them and has probably perished in the fire. |

Piggy definitely surprises the group when he scolds them, because his words are true. Piggy was the one to listen to the young boy in the beginning, and now this young boy's life if in danger because no one listened to Piggy. |

Piggy definitely surprises the group when he scolds them, because his words are true. It's shocking to think that by 'snake', the boys were thinking about the fire, and how it moves like a snake. Piggy was the one to listen to the young boy in the beginning, and by no one believing him and disregarding him, they've lost lives and valuable resources by their recklessness. Piggy definitely makes the group think about their actions when he asks where the boy with the birthmark is but saying making excuses says "perhaps he went back to the, the-" pg. 60 even though they all know what happened to him. |

"That little 'un that had a mark on his-face- where is-he now? I tell you I don't see him." The boy is now missing, or dead I'm sorry but when piggy talks about the pig and the fruit being cooked, I think I would have laughed too. I think he probably should have rephrased it because he made it sound like the food was still edible so the drama couldn't sink in. |

I think what Piggy means by "cooked fruit and roast pork" is that all of the food that was in the fire would've been burnt to ashes, which is a huge waste of resources and could lead to the boys running out of food later on. I agree that it was Ralph's fault for the small boys not being counted properly, but it's interesting how everybody, even Ralph, was keen to place the blame on Piggy for not counting them properly. |
