Ralph, a natural leader, calls a meeting after exploring
the island. He first gives the boys some information concerning the island. He tells
them that the island is indeed deserted, but contains on it all they need to survive.
Therefore, they should remain calm and eventually they will be
rescued.
Ralph also explains to the boys that some basic
rules must be set in order to maintain order and peace among themselves. The first rule
he makes is that only the boy holding the conch will be allowed to speak at meetings.
This rule is important because it will ensure that meetings stay orderly and everyone
gets to be heard. It prevents the meetings from becoming chaotic and prevents the boys
from talking out of turn. It is a civilized approach to communicating with each other
and Ralph is a strong believer is staying civilized while on the
island.
