Answer 12

Hi @the_princess

The answer to the 1st question is: During the meeting in chapter 5 the littlun Percival Wemys Madison was asked to tell the assembled boys about the beast. Percival began to cry and once he started he would not stop, then the rest of the littluns began to join him. Maurice distracted them by pretending to fall off the springy log, which the boys called the twister. He clowned badly and rubbed his rump but he made the littluns laugh and as a result they were eventually able to persuade Percival to speak.

The answer to the 2nd question is: Ralph was the first one to call all of the boys on the island to the beach. The others saw the conch as a symbol of power and order, and as Ralph had possession of it, he was seen as fitting to be the leader. Another thing to consider is the fact that only one other boy nominated himself to be the chief: Jack. However, Jack made a horrible first impression on the others by acting snotty, overdemeaning, and generally a jerk, making Ralph a much more suitable option.

- Hope this helps, Libby
