Piggy confides his hope that the boys on this island won't call him Piggy as they did back home. On the beach, Ralph investigates a large platform of pink granite overlooking a long pool that had formed in the beach. After demonstrating his swimming skills, Ralph spies a conch, which Piggy identifies as a valuable shell that can be blown as a trumpet.
Piggy urges Ralph to blow into the shell, using it to summon any other survivors to the beach. Soon boys between ages 6 and 12 come streaming out of the jungle onto the beach, assembling on the platform near Ralph. Last to arrive are Jack and the choirboys. Despite the tropical heat and their own exertions in following the conch blasts, the boys from the choir still wear their black caps and long black cloaks and are clearly overheated when they reach the platform. The assembled boys discuss their situation and vote on a chief, choosing Ralph over Jack.
At this moment, Jack could be a good leader, but not as good as Ralph because Jack could only control his choir, not the whole boys group, and everyone seems to like and support Ralph more than Jack. Why do they make one leader and not a council of three?
How could that be a problem later? Ralph has the Conch, what does Jack have? How is that effective? What does the Conch symbolize? What does the knife symbolize? The conch symbolizes appealing, assertiveness and intelligence while the knife symbolizes the monopolization, dictation and an unsafe feeling. What excites them on the expedition? What do they do on the way to the top?
What about this expedition makes it less than innocent kid stuff? However, the way to the top is a little bit hard for them because the tracks are small and covered with creepers and before they got to the top, they had to heave a big rock down to make their way. Usually, innocent kid stuff are not this dangerous and and have many grown ups to make sure they are allright, these kids do all the stuffs alone, without any help from any adults and they seem smarter and more independent than their ages.

Ralph and Piggy argue a little about the smoking fire, and then they set off along the beach with Sam and Eric—leading Piggy, who's practically blind now.
When they get there, the boys in Jack's group are "painted out of recognition. Piggy screams, afraid to be left by himself when he can't see. This is going well. Once Ralph calls Jack a dirty thief, the boys begin to fight, swinging at each other with their spears. But Golding is careful to tell us that they use their spears "as sabers," not jabbing at each other with the "lethal points," possibly because everyone is still a little bit traumatized over Simon's death.
Piggy tries to defuse the sitch by telling Ralph to remember what they came for—the fire, the specs. And then Ralph says something interesting: he tells Jack, "You aren't playing the game—" and then he cuts himself off. He sure isn't. It is all about the roles of character. Explanation: In the beginning of the book, Ralph and Piggy meet and become friends.
