Chapter Two

Fire on the Mountain (Pages 30-47)

Plot
Ralph calls a meeting where the jack appionts himself and his choir, which has shrunken in size, as "hunters". A small boy with a mulberry coloured birthmark tells the group about a dream he had about a "beastie", scaring much of the group. At first they believe it could be a snake, until Ralph ensures the group that there is not beast and insists on making a fire.

So the boys leave to make a fire on top ogf the mountain, leaving piggy at the back of the precession. They come to a conclusion to use piggy's specs to light the fire and collect wood to build it. The fire doesn't cause any smoke, which is what Ralph wanted, but it spreads throughout a section of the forest {description found on page 44}. The boys later discover that the small boy with a mulberry coloured birthmark was caught in this blaze.
