3. Ralph, Piggy and Samneric decide to go to Jack`s tribe to ask him for the glass`s back;
reminding them of the importance of the signal fire. Samneric express a real fear of
approaching the other boys who have now become complete savages. Jack's tribe is
an enemy to Ralph's little group; Roger throws stones at the twins to scare them.
Jack emerges from the forest where he had been hunting and tells Ralph to go back
to his end of the island. When Ralph calls him a bloody thief for stealing Piggy's
glasses, he also calls him a beast and a swine they fight briefly with their spears
before Piggy reminds Ralph to focus on their agenda. The savages laugh derisively at
Ralph's impassioned speech about the necessity of a signal fire. Then Jack orders his
tribe to grab Samneric and tie them up and this brings a fistfight between Ralph and
Jack. Again, Piggy interrupts and, holding the conch, attempts a speech as well.
While Piggy admonishes the boys for becoming savages, Roger releases a great rock
in Piggy's direction causing him to die. The conch explodes into pieces. Jack screams
in victory at Ralph and then throws his spear at him. The spear wounds Ralph and he
then escapes for his life. Samneric remain tied up in the hands of the savages, and
soon they will be tortured by Roger.

6. - In fact, the conch is the only tool of authority or action left to them,
but it's an ineffectual one after the children turn into savages and the
only ones stay by Ralph Piggy and Samenric.
- The conch symbolizes not only the power to speak during meetings
but also the power of speech itself, an ability that separates humans
from animals.
- The savages' reactions to Ralph's and Piggy's speeches are all non-
verbal: jeering, laughing, booing, and a general clamor.
- Till the moment of his death. Piggy literally holds on to civilization
(the conch). His civilized argument based on "what's right" ignores
the savage’s rule of dominance by the strong.

7. -They represent totally civilized and socialized persons. As identical
twins, they have always been a group. They represent the well-
intentioned members of general public who play by the rules of
whoever is in charge. They are easily intimidated by Jack and abandon
their fire-tending duties at his command.
-After the horror of Simon's death, in which they participate, they fear
for their own lives because they have remained loyal to Ralph. As
Ralph's group plans to approach Jack's tribe, Samneric want to paint
themselves like tribe members, hoping for mercy through assimilation.
When the twins are captured by the tribe, Samneric "protested out of
the heart of civilization" but abandon their loyalty to that civilization to
avoid punishment. Their return to civilization will be fairly easy
because they look only to appease whoever is in charge.

8. - Roger represents the sadist, the individual who enjoys hurting others.
His evil motives are different from Jack's, who enjoys the hunt.
- Roger just likes to hurt people. He is, in some ways, more evil than
even Jack. All his life, Roger has been conditioned to mask his impulses.
- The "irresponsible authority" of Jack's offers him the chance to release
his innate cruelty. Roger is the torturer who plays a key role in all
dictatorships, and plays the role of a killer.
- Once he joins Jack's tribe, he kills Piggy with one great rock, which was
not intended to miss.
