What happens in Chapter 5?
-As Ralph is walking down to the assembly he has just called, he begins thinking about Piggy and his ideas, but that no one will listen to him because of the way he looks. He wishes he was as intellectual as Piggy.
-At the assembly, Ralph tells the group that they refuse to work at building shelters, they do not gather drinking water, they neglect the signal fire, and they do not even use the designated toilet area. He comes up with solutions for these issues.
-Ralph restates the importance of the signal fire and attempts to stop the group's growing fear of beasts and monsters. The littluns, in particular, are having more nightmares and visions.
-One of the littluns speaks up and claims that he has actually seen a beast. When the others press him and ask where it could hide during the daytime, he suggests that it might come up from the ocean at night.
- Jack does not enjoy the assembly and exclaims that his hunters will kill the beast. Eventually, only Ralph, Piggy, and Simon are left. In the distance, the hunters who have followed Jack dance and chant.
-Ralph tells Piggy and Simon that he might relinquish leadership of the group, but his friends reassure him that the boys need his guidance. As the group drifts off to sleep, the sound of a littlun crying echoes along the beach.
