What is Jack's plan at the end of the novel to flush out Ralph so the boys can kill him in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Jack's first plan to drive Ralph out of hiding in the thicket was to send a boulder crashing down into it from Castle Rock. When that didn't work the next plan was to smoke him out by lighting a fire close to the thicket. Unfortunately the fire got out of control and set fire to the entire island.

Answer 2

When Jack and his hunters pay a brief visit to Ralph's camp Jack says... "To-night we're having a feast. We've killed a pig and we've got meat. You can come and eat with us if you like." His intention is to use the offer of meat, hunting and having fun as an incentive to the rest of the boys to join his tribe.

Answer 3

When Ralph climbed castle rock Samneric told him, and I quote... "They hate you, Ralph. they're going to do you." "They're going to hunt you tomorrow." "--and we've got to be careful and throw our spears like at a pig." "We're going to spread out in a line across the island---" "We're going forward from this end--" "We've got to give signals like this." Eric raised his hand and acheived a faint ululation by beating on his open mouth. then he glanced behind him nervously. "Like that--" "--only louder, of course." As Ralph was climbing down from castle rock he twice asked what they were going to do to him if they caught him. One of the twins answered from the top of the rock, "Roger sharpened a stick at both ends."

At the end of the novel "Lord of the Flies," Jack's plan is to set the island on fire in order to smoke out Ralph from his hiding place in the forest. By creating a ring of fire around the woods, Jack intends to force Ralph out into the open where the other boys can capture and kill him.
