Although the chapter ends with the boys apparently united again, there are by now serious signs that their community is beginning to break up. What are the signs? Even though Ralph still has some influence over the boys, he's losing respect amongst them because everybody is starting to favour Jack. Ralph wasn't able to stop Jack from breaking Piggy's glasses, which could show that he's starting to lose his grip over the boys. The boys also quickly forget about Ralph when they start reenacting the killing of the pig and eating its meat which causes Ralph to have to order everybody down the mountain for a meeting. Ralph having to start a meeting just to get the boys attention could be a sign that he's struggling for their respect, since he now has to try a lot harder to get them to pay attention. I believe this is a great answer as the civilised behaviour of the boys is now struggling to hold together. |
