Why does the boys' plan for rescue fail? ️️The boys did not have a well-thought-out plan. They used too much wood for a small, controllable fire, and they never thought of a way to control the fire to keep it from getting out of hand. Most of their available fire wood was burned up, making keeping the fire going much more difficult. Although Ralph criticizes the boys for their lack of cooperation, does he bear some of the responsibility for the failures of the group to achieve its goals? Why or Why not? ️️Ralph is partially responsible for their failures. He wants the boys to work and help from a civilized society of the island, but he doesn't know how to motivate them to do so.

What kind of a boy is Simon? ️️Simon is one of Ralph's most loyal and helpful workers. Yet, when he has some free time, he goes of by himself to find a place to be quiet and to think. Society, like the boys, distrusts those who are loners. After Maurice and Roger destroy the littleuns' sand castles, Roger stalks the young boy names Henry. When he begins to throw stones, why does he just throw them near him instead of directly at him? ️️The old laws of church and school and family still hold him back. What causes the hunters, who had promised to keep the fire burning, to neglect it and allow it to go out? ️️They felt that killing the pig (short term goal of eating) was more important than keeping the fire going as a signal (long term goal to be saved). Savages can not deal with long-term goals. They only live in the present, for instant gratification of their immediate needs.
