Chapter 6 summary
The boys saw a flying object at night and they hardly paid attention to it. The twins were on their duty on the mountain. They were to take turns on sleeping but they were both awake in the daylight. In the dark, the twins almost asleep when Eric called Sam. They both saw the beastie and fled the area. Ralph was the first to know about this and an assembly was called right away. During the assembly, the disagreements on the conch and the fire were brought up again. But the boys managed to discuss the main point. Everybody heard what had happened and they decided to go look for the beastie. Jack led the way since he knew the island very well. But there was one place he had never been to on the island. It was an old castle. Their direction was pointed the same way. They got to the place and Ralph was to go in because he was the leader. Jack went on with him to search but they found nothing but an empty, damaged looking building. Ralph motioned that the beastie was seen on the mountain and they had to head for it. The boys disagreed and wanted to stay there for a while to have a fort. But Ralph convinced them to continue.

Supplementary Task 3 (Ralph)
First of, Ralph is a character whom i can say is neither good nor bad because as you go through the book, he goes on changing.When he met Piggy at the beginning,he was friendly to him but as soon as Jack joined the group, he automatically changed and he started being harsh to piggy just like the rest did.He did this by not giving Piggy the conch whenever he asked for it and at the times when he gave him, he would look at him with disgust like whatever piggy said was useless.He was really unfriendly to him like when he elbowed him while Jack took of Piggy's glasses.As time went on, Ralph some how started realising how essential Piggy's ideas were no matter how Jack and other ignored it. This happen in chapter 5 when Ralph referred Piggy as being a good thinker and had brains.Ralph could always be on Jack's side but during the enssemly on the fifth chapter, Jack disobeyed most of the rules. This time, Ralph stood up and told Jack the reality about how his behavoirs were. At the end after Jack went dancing, Ralph instead stayed with piggy and the both had good conversation and this proved how friendly Ralph became to Piggy.
Supplementary Task 3: # 2
The development of the Conch. Chapter 1-6
At the beginning of the story, the conch is just an ordinary shell. Ralph blew the conch and all the other kids showed up. The conch helped them get together and choose a leader. Than the leader made up rules that sort of helped them stay organized for a while. It was decided that the boys couldn't talk without the conch, which gave more value to it. It became even more important when Ralph said that the meeting would take place where the conch was. By Chapter 3, the conch was a symbol of an important object, which kept them from breaking apart. But after a while, boys started to break the rule and not take the conch as seriously. Jack wouldn't let Piggy talk even when he had the conch. In chapter 6, in the assembly, there were a lot of interruptions by hunters and the Jack finally decided not to listen to Piggy who had the conch in his hands even after Ralph specifically told him to do so. The group broke and the boys started running around. They didn't want to listen to Ralph anymore.

In Chapter two, a new character came in the picture "Jack" who is a person who wanted to fight over the leadership of being the hunter which he wanted. Ralph on the other hand wanted to build shelter and find a way to survivor. The friction of Jack and Ralph is very little but the group of boys made a vote for whom to trust and to guide them.Fire on the Mountain Ralph calls all the boys, and tells them they are completely alone on the island, and there are no adults. A couple of rules where made up, for example"whoever holds the conch gets to speak." one of the boys who had a birthmark on his face tells the boys about what he seen which was a "beastie" that he saw somewhere on the island. The other boys are frightened and think they are going to be feast to the "beast", Jack on the other hand wishes to avoid the distraction and wanted to prove what side the boys want to be on. The hunter who would save their lives or the calm scared Ralph who wants to build shelter and stay still. In this chapter the decision of whom to go with is the main problem, would you have a leader whom he will save your life or whom he will keep you under a shelter. The odds say Ralph would lose this voting game, but it wouldn't say in chapter 2.
