reuse. They use Piggy's glasses as burning glass to start the fire with the sun's rays.
Why does the boys' plan for rescue fail? - answer 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

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.
How has Jack's personality developed during his stay on the island? - answer Jack has
degenerated from a superficially civilized school boy to a near animal level. He learned to kill,

a living creature.
