What was the original name of Lord of the Flies?
You can approach this title on a few different levels. To begin, "the Lord of the Flies" is the name of the pig's head after being impaled on a stick. This seems a natural choice of names for such a bloody object. The pig's head then, being the title and all, becomes rather important. The horrible and primitive violence of the boys is a central theme. Next, you can approach the individual meaning and aesthetic of the words "Lord of the Flies." "Lord" has a lot to do with power, and it is, of course, the desire for power that drives a lot of the boys of the island (think Jack and his "you're not the boss of me" attitude). "Flies," on the other hand, connote death and decay (think that dead squirrel you found in the backyard and all the flying insects swarming about). Put them together, and you've got death and decay tied up with power and corruption. Nice. Lastly, as if that were not enough, "The Lord of the Flies" is also the name of Beelzebub, a demon or the devil, depending on how you like your mythology. So this book is getting at some pretty big questions, and driving home a rather weighty message about inherent evil and eternal darkness.

Why does jack hesitate to kill the piglet in the lord of the flies?
Because he doesn't like him Its sort of a Logic and Intelligence(Piggy) vs. Bloodlust and Savaregy(Jack) thing that Golding might've thought of. Basically Jack wants to have power and be the leader. At a time when he feels that he has just proven his prowness as a hunter Ralph has reasserted his own leadships over the incident of letting the fire out. Jack has already punched Piggy, who he dislikes but also sees as an easy target and a way of getting at Ralph. Jack then refuses to give Piggy any meat as a further display of his own power. Jack killed the pig and Jack chooses who eats it, not Ralph.

Seeing the questioning look on the faces of Ralph and Simon Jack explains that he was choosing a spot to stab the piglet. In reality the enormity of actually plunging a knife into a squealing terrified animal caused him, quite understandably, to hesitate Jack however is ashamed that the others might think that he is weak and makes a point of stressing that next time he won't hesitate

Who asked who blew the conch in lord of the flies?
I am sure it is Jack. I will paste a bit of the story to verify this: "...a party of boys, marching approximately in step in two parallel lines and dressed in strangely eccentric clothing. Shorts, shirts, and different garments they carried in their hands; but each boy wore a square black cap with a silver badge on it." (This is the choir. I'll skip a bit) "The boy who controlled them was dressed in the sameway though his cap badge was golden. When his party was about ten yards from the platform he shouted an order and they halted, gasping, sweating, swaying in the fierce light. The boy himself came forward, vaulted on to the platform with his cloak flying, and peered into what to him was almost complete darkness. "Where's the man with the trumpet?" Ralph, sensing his sun-blindness, answered him. "There's no man with a trumpet. Only me." " So if your question is referring to that part, then yes. Undoubtedly it was Jack. As we know that the leader of the choir is Jack, and it was the leader of the choir who asked 'where the man with the trumpet-thing' was. We are told in the next couple of pages (depending on which version you have) that the lead choir-boy's name is Jack. Ciao :)
