Ralph realizes that they are descending into chaos and savagery, losing their sense of civilization and morality. He sees that they are becoming more primitive and violent as their situation on the island deteriorates. He fears for their safety and the slim chances of being rescued.
Simon. Ralph accuses him of going to the toilet, which makes the others boys laugh. However, we know about his faintings and hallucinations so think he might have been hiding so the other boys would not notice what was happening.
To quote directly from the book... 'They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate." I doubt that there are any homosexual inferences in Golding's choice of the word 'love.' I think that he was simply referring to the fact that each of the boys admired the other. Ralph admired Jack's self confidence and hunting skills but resented that Jack went off enjoying himself, hunting pigs, while Ralph was left virtually alone to build the much needed shelters. Jack admired Ralph's easy manner and popularity but he also resented the fact that Ralph was the leader when he felt that the position rightfully belonged to himself. The bafflement resulted simply from their inabilty to see each others viewpoints.
Ralph asserts his leadership by casting doubt on Jack. Jack is still the leader, but now the other boys have doubts about him and look to Ralph for answers.
When the "curtain flaps" in Ralph's mind, it could symbolize a moment where he is experiencing a sudden shift in his thoughts or emotions.

Ralph says that people don't help each other much .He wanted to say that people are never really what others think they are.

From what ive heard its not anymore, It could be happening secretly, eg: A teenage girl runs away from home and is kidnapped and is forced to be a slave for a private group or sold on the "black market" other than that, I dont think it is happening
When the boar charges in William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies," Ralph reacts by throwing his spear at the boar. This action demonstrates Ralph's ability to think and act quickly under pressure. It also highlights his survival instincts and his willingness to protect himself and the other boys on the island.
