2. The twins are seeing Ralph for the first time before going to Castle Rock in the ways of that they are seeing Ralph in a different manner in what they are used to. Ralph usually can maintain his order but in this section Ralph kind of loses his mind and becomes angry.
3. The whole attempt of the boys going to the savages and trying to get Piggy's glasses and maintain the signal fire is bound to fail because Jack doesn't really care if they gets rescued and all Jack cares about he and his tribe surviving. Jack will do and think of anything to get make sure that they survive in any way.
4. I think that roger pushes the rock off the roof because he wants to add to the frenzy that is going on and also he would want to help Jack and the savages in the fight that is going on.
5. The destruction of the conch is symbolically significant because it means the end of the civilization that the boys tried to build and maintain at the beginning of the book. The laws and sense of government is now gone.
6. The boys want a chief be cause a chief is able to lead the boys, discipline them, and show them comfort. A chief is almost like a parent to the boys, hence why they elected Ralph. A parent show how they care for their children, but they also discipline them. A chief is supposed to set the guidelines and rules for the boys (aka- the conch), but now the conch is shattered.

- How do you plan to live out the rest of your life? Waiting to be rescued or dying out on this island with the rest of your hunters?
- What will happen to you and your hunters if chaos breaks out among the boys of YOUR tribe?
8. Dear Diary,
The boys among Jack and his group have been nothing but violent and a bunch of bloody thieves. First they commit theft by stealing Piggy's glasses, leaving him practically blind. Sure, they have a fire, but it won't do them any good with such a minuscule size - only for cooking meals. Ralph's been trying to restore order, with Piggy's and SamnEric's help, but now that the conch was broken by Jack, there's almost no hope whatsoever in trying to reestablish a structure on the island. Simon and the kid with the birth mark have already died, some of the forest within the island has already been burnt to a crisp, and there's been nothing but fighting among the two groups and their leaders.
At first, the island seemed quite pleasant and refreshing because it was a new environment to the boys and the boys still had their sense of humanity with them. Yet now, the state of the island is in utter chaos because of disagreements and violence between the two chiefs - Jack and Ralph. Jack has no plans of changing his instinctual savage ways. Ralph on the other hand, is trying to get things back to the way things were before. At this rate, the whole entire island and sense of civilization among the boys will deteriorate because there is absolutely no structure.
