What happens in Chapter 2 of lord of the flies?

Answer 1

Chapter two establishes that the boys are alone on a previously uninhabited island with no adults. The first signs of Ralph and Jack's differing objectives are revealed and the subject of the "snake-thing/beastie" is raised for the first time by a small boy with a mulberry-coloured birthmark. Ralph tells the boys that they should build a signal fire to attract passing ships and airplanes so that they can be rescued. Jack, who initially seemed only interested in hunting pigs, then leads the boys off to the mountain, already subtley challenging Ralph's leadership. At the end of chapter two the intended signal fire becomes an out of control inferno and the boy with the mulberry-coloured birthmark is never seen again. These events perhaps foreshadow the burning of the island in chapter 12 and the deaths of Simon and Piggy.

Answer 2

In chapter 7 Ralph becomes lost in thought while dreaming of returning home. While he is in his dreamland Simon comforts him saying he feels they will be rescued. Going back to camp, the boys find pig droppings and hunt for the pig. Finding it, the boys chase after it. Jack becomes cut on his arm from the pig, while Ralph gets his first chance at battle, stabbing the pig in the snout. They lose it, and become so into the hunt, that they pretend one of the little kids is a pig and beat on him. Insisting they follow the wounded pig, Jack leads the way to find the pig and the beast. Ralph being more civilized says they should go back and help Piggy out with the little ones. Jack mocks Ralph for his concern about Piggy. Simon volunteers to go back and be with Piggy. After they continue there search, Ralph and Roger become tired and tell Jack to continue on his own. Jack once again mocks Ralph saying he is scared. Going back to camp, Jack eventually comes back petrified claiming he saw the beast. Roger and Ralph go to see what he saw and also come back petrified. Though what they really saw was the dead parachutist who sat up from the wind and looked like an ape like figure.

Answer 3

They just have Ralph who runs into Piggy and they talk about how they came to the island on a plane. Then they find a conch in the lagoon and Ralph blows on it. This is how all the other kids show up. Then Ralph, Simon, and Jack go and travel the island to make sure that it is an island.

Lord of the Flies Chapter 3 Summary

• Time has passed, and as Chapter Three opens, we see Jack, his bare back a "mass of dark freckles and peeling sunburn." He is naked (what do you know) except for a pair of tattered shorts.
• Jack has become obsessed with killing a pig. Obsessed to the point of tracking down pig's droppings.
• Based on his sniffing the air all the time, it seems that Jack is now a lot like an animal himself, or at the least a primitive form of man.
• Jack fails to catch a pig, yet again.
• He tries to take it out on someone else, meaning Ralph and Simon, who are trying to build shelters out of leaves.
• It's not going so well, as you might have expected.
• So Ralph and Jack do what they always do together: argue. Jack thinks it's more important to kill things, while Ralph thinks it's more important to not die of exposure.
• Ralph makes the argument that everyone is still scared of the beastie.
• He says that the children are scared "As if it wasn't a good island." This is an interesting line to sticky-note along with that earlier one.
• Jack, too, admits he gets a little scared when he's in the jungle alone.
• Despite all this, Ralph is still mostly concerned with the fire.
• Jack suggests they could paint their faces. We suggest you flip back to that part about the brightly-colored bird.
• And the point of painting faces is that they could sneak up on the pigs while they're sleeping.
• Piggy lies on his stomach and stares at the water. But he does point out that Simon is the one helpful guy, whenever he's not missing, which he tends to be quite frequently.
• OK, camera swivel; now we're looking at Simon as he walks into the forest "with an air of purpose." We are told that his "bright eyes" made Ralph think he was "delightfully gay and wicked," when in fact he is not. He is also tan, barefoot, and has "a coarse mop of black hair."
• The littluns follow after him, and he helps them pick fruit too tall for them to reach before heading deeper into the jungle by himself.
• Simon comes to a place where "the creepers had woven a great mat that hung at the side of an open space in the jungle."
• He crawls inside this space (we cannot imagine why) and chills out there while evening approaches, musing non-specifically.

Answer 5

In Chapter 2 of "Lord of the Flies," the boys work together to build a signal fire in hopes of being rescued. However, their lack of organization and leadership leads to the fire getting out of control and a boy going missing during the chaos. The chapter highlights the growing tensions and struggles for power within the group.
