What causes the conflict at this point in the book is what
causes many of the conflicts between Ralph and Jack. They have different views of what
their little society needs in order to survive.
Ralph is
worried about the signal fire and the fact that it is near where the beast supposedly
lives. He really thinks that they need the fire so as to be rescued. Jack offers his
hunters as guards but Ralph does not respect them. He thinks that they are just
irresponsible kids who are playing around and not serious about the important
things.
This leads Jack to get angry. He thinks that his
hunters are the most important part of the society and he thinks that Ralph should give
them more respect and do more of what Jack wants him to do.
