I don't know which chapter you are referring to but towards the end of chapter five: Beast From Water, as the twilight meeting broke up many of the boys ran off to dance and chant on the beach. Piggy advised Ralph to blow the conch and told him "You got to be tough now. Make 'em do what you want." Ralph replied cautiously, as if he had been considering the possible outcomes of his actions, "If I blow the conch and they don't come back; then we've had it..." But as Piggy remarked "If you don't blow, we'll soon be animals anyway." It is obvious from this conversation that Ralph has already partially lost control of the boys and he fears that any attempt to impose order on them will antagonise them and drive them further away. Piggy feels that it is worth the risk, as the drifting away of the other boys is inevitable anyway unless something is done to prevent it.

At the beginning of the novel, Ralph is optimistic and has a sense of order and responsibility as he is excited about being on the island and leading the group of boys. By the end of chapter 6, Ralph starts to feel the weight of leadership and the challenges of maintaining order as conflicts arise among the boys. He becomes more frustrated and realizes the seriousness of their situation as they struggle to maintain a signal fire and overcome their differences.


What happened in the second chapter of Lord of the Flies?

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.
