ome known as Samneric. They were the last of the bigguns to stay with Ralph, but finally gave in to Jack, and even gave away Ralph's hiding spot in the end, which meant the last hope for order and society was lost. The rest of the characters were littluns, who didn't have a big part; they were usually just referred to as one big group.Everyone decides they need a chief. They take a vote and Ralph is elected because of his positive qualities. Jack is embarrassed that he did not win, but Ralph told him that his choir would be the hunters, and he could be the leader of that part of the group, and Jack was happy with that.The first decision Ralph makes is that they should make a signal fire on top of the mountain. This fire represents common sense and rescue from immorality. When they get to the top of the mountain, the littluns are already starting to complain about the beast. The beast plagues them the most because they are the least conditioned by society. No one is paying attention to the fire and it gets out of control. The first death happens here, to a littlun with the mulberry-coloured birthmark. The fire creates a scar on the island which portrays mans destruction and destructive forces.Jack starts preferring to spend all his time hunting rather than helping Ralph with rescue. He is beginning to have a fascination with killing, and conflicts are starting to arise between the two boys. Eventually Jack decides he doesn't want to follow Ralph's rules, and he breaks away from the group saying "I don't want to play your game any more." He forms his own group, "The Savages", painting their faces so they can hide behind the paint and do as they please. Jack no longer has the integrity to ward off the beast. Jack had previously broken one of the lenses in Piggy's specs, and now he stole the other one, in effect stealing fire from Ralph's group. With the loss of the fire, its beacon of hope and knowledge is no longer present...
