What happened in Chapter 2??
-Ralph declares that, at meetings, the conch shell will be used to determine which boy has the right to speak
-Piggy yells about the fact that no one knows they have crashed on the island and that they could be stuck there for a long time.
-One of the younger children, a small boy with a mulberry-colored mark on his face, claims that he saw a snakelike “beastie” or monster the night before.The older boys say that the little boy's vision was only a nightmare.
-Ralph proposes that the group build a large signal fire on top of the island's central mountain.-They manage to get a large fire going, but it quickly dies down.
-In their frenzied, disorganized efforts to rekindle the fire, the boys set a swath of trees ablaze. Enraged at the group's reckless disorganization, Piggy tells them furiously that one of the littlest boys—the same boy who told them about the snake-beast—was playing over by the fire and now is missing. The boys are crestfallen and shocked, and Ralph is struck with shame. They pretend that nothing has happened.
