Chapter Ten

Summary
In this chapter, Piggy asserted that Simon’s death was an accident, not murder. Ralph discovered that most of the boys had gone to join Jack, and that only he, Piggy, Samneric and some littluns remained. Jack and the other boys made their “camp” at the other end of the island, and one of them was ordered to keep watch and make sure Ralph didn’t try to go to their camp. Later, Jack and some other boys went to the platform, trying to scare Piggy by pretending to be the beast. They stole his glasses so they could light fires, although Piggy thought they would try to take the conch. Piggy said that Ralph and the others should stand up to Jack, because that was the right thing to do.
