Ralph wants the boys to carry out the decision which they reach during the meetings. He points out to Jack that although everyone agreed that they would collect water in coconut shells and build shelters, hardly any water was collected and only Simon and himself were working on the third shelter.

In chapter 5 of "Lord of the Flies," Ralph wishes for the sense of order and civilization to prevail on the island. He longs for the boys to focus on building shelters, maintaining the signal fire, and following rules, rather than getting caught up in hunting and neglecting their responsibilities.

He tells him to "sharpen a stick at both ends." This may symbolize that what was previously there (one side of law/order/good, etc. and the other side of chaos/savagery/evil, etc), has now been replaced by just the side of chaos/savagery/evil... Hence the stick being sharpened at "both ends."


Hope this helps :)

In Lord of the Flies how does the conch become a symbol of authority?

When Ralph is voted as leader the reasons he is picked are "his size, and attractive appearance; and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch." (22) its a symbol of authority because in the beginning it is agreed that when somone has the conch in their possesion they have the right to speak and because Ralph blew the conch and found it he is also seen as an authoritative figure making the conch athoritative ;)

How did the boys show savageness in the book Lord of the flies?

The boys in "Lord of the Flies" showed savageness through their descent into violence, chaos, and brutality as they abandoned societal norms and morals. They resorted to hunting each other, forming tribes based on power and fear, and indulging in destructive impulses without regard for consequences. This savageness was fueled by their fear, isolation, and loss of civilization's restraints.
