Even though Ralph has taken on the role of becoming the leader the other boys are just going along with it.

We shan't keep the fire going. Well be like animals. We'll never be rescued”’ (Golding 99). In this quotation it is shown how important the signal fire is, if there is no signal fire there is no…
