Chapter 6

There was no light left save that of the stars. When they had understood what made this ghostly noise and percival was quiet again, Ralph and Simon picked him up unhandily and carried him to a shelter. Piggy hung about near for all his brave words, and the three bigger boys went together to the next shelter. They lay restlessly and noisily among the dry leaves, watching the patch of stars that was the opening towards the lagoon. Sometimes a littlun cried out from the other shelters and once a bigun spoke in the dark. Then they too fell asleep
The clamour broke out. Some of the boys wanted to go back to the beach. Some wanted to roll more rocks. The sun was bright and danger had faded with the darkness

Chapter 5

The tide was coming in and there was only a narrow strip of firm beach between the water and the white, stumbling stuff near the palm terrace. Ralph chose the firm strip as a path because he needed to think and only here could he allow his feet to move without having to watch them.

The three boys stood in the darkness,striving unsuccessfully to convey the majesty of adult life.

‘They wouldn’t quarrel ‘

‘Or break my specs-‘

‘Or talk about a beast-‘

‘if only they could

Chapter 7 summary

The boys stop to eat as they travel towards the mountain. Ralph looks at the ocean while the boys have become undisciplined. As he looks out at water he feels that the ocean is like a wall blocking any hope the boys have of escaping the island. Simon however lifts Ralph’s spirits by telling him that he will make it home.

Chapter 6 Summary

I he darkness late that night, Ralph and Simon carry a littlun back to the shelter before going to sleep. As the boys sleep, An airplanes battle fiercely above the island. None of the boys sees the explosions in the clouds because the twins Sam and Eric, who were supposed to watch the signal fire, fell asleep. During the battle, a parachutist drifts down from the sky onto the island, dead. When Sam and Eric wake up, they tend to the fire to make the flames brighter in the firelight they see a dead parachute, They rush back to the camp, wake Ralph, and tell him what they have seen. Ralph allows Jack to lead the search as the group sets out. They found a cave but not the beast

Chapter 5 Summary

As Ralph walks along the beach, he thinks about how much of life is an improvisation and about how a considerable part of one’s waking life is spent watching one’s feet. Ralph is frustrated with his hair, which is now long, mangy, and always manages to fall in front of his eyes. He decides to call a meeting to attempt to bring the group back into line. Late in the evening, he blows the conch shell, and the boys gather on the beach.
At the meeting place, Ralph grips the conch shell and the boys for their failure to uphold the group’s rules. They have not done anything required of them they refuse to work at building shelters, they do not gather drinking water, and they do not even use the designated toilet area. Piggy urges Ralph to blow the conch shell and summon the boys back to the group, but Ralph is afraid that the summons will go ignored. As another long day goes by everyone goes to bed but there”s a sound of a littlun crying echoes along the beach.

What is the relationship between online communication and physical conversation?

Online communication is basically talking to someone on social media,while physical conversation is talking to someone face to face. Normally some people talk differently when they meet face to face but when your talking online its different because most people don’t like write in full and complete sentences, they just write shorter version of words like ur(your) , lyk(like) or gud(good). i think they talk in this way because they feel its a shorter way of talking to friends rather than writing in full and complete sentences When friends, relatives or family members meet they talk in a different way to show respect to there elders or even some don’t even understand the words or slungs you say so they speak properly
