"We're on an island. We've been on the mountain top and seen water all round. We saw no houses, no smoke, no footprints, no boats, no people. We're on an uninhabited island with no other people on it."
Now that everyone on the island is together, Ralph separates them into different groups to complete different tasks. Tasks such as building a fire and searching for food. Once Ralph comes to realize that no one is there to help them, and that they are on there own i believe he becomes very worried and tries to come up with a plan. I think his idea of having the boys build a fire on top of the mountain so other ships could see the smoke signals is a great idea. With the boys lack of knowledge of living in the wild and the fire continuing to go out there chances of being rescued of even seen are very small. I think that Ralph is just trying to think of ideas and trying to make the others convinced he knows what he is talking about. In reality he just wants to be the one that everyone looks up to and tell them what to do. Between tasks Piggy continues to give words of advice to possibly help the situation, but to Ralph anything Piggy says means nothing. I believe that Piggy could actually offer a huge amount of help, but Ralph is to ignorant and self centered to take a chance and listen.
