What are the connotations of a 'uniform'?
- They discover the conch (shell) and Ralph blows it in order to gather other possible survivors.
- Among these are: twins, Sam and Eric; a group of choir boys, led by a very stern Jack Merridrew; Simon, a choir boy who faints and many young children that remain nameless.
- Jack and Ralph argue over who is to be chief until Ralph is voted in due to his possession of the conch.
- Jack and the choir boys are assigned the job of hunting.
- Ralph, Jack and Simon begin an ‘expedition’ to confirm they are on an island; Piggy is banned from the trek and generally teased throughout the section, despite his clear common sense.
