What is the significance of the chapter title Shadows And Tall Trees in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Taken at face value the title simply refers to the lighting of the signal fire on the mountain top. It could also refer to the fact that the signal fire got out of control and set fire to a pocket of trees on the mountain side. However as symbolism is often used in Lord of the Flies the title could refer to beacon fires which were lit during war time as a warning that the enemy was approaching. This might be a veiled allusion to the fact that things were already beginning to go wrong on the island and the first cracks in their society had begun to appear.

Answer 2

It represents their unity as one tribe on the island

I think it is a symbolic reference to the coastal defenses made by Britain in preparation for the expected invasion by Germany during World War II. The huts foreshadow the coming conflict between Jack's tribe and Ralph's group. As a supposed symbol of unity they fail badly as the majority of the boys took no part in building two of the three shelters. Indeed while Ralph and Simon struggled to build the third shelter most of the other boys were bathing while Jack was off hunting, which caused a good deal of friction between him and Ralph when he returned.
