1. One of the most important events that took place in chapter was Ralph found a conch shell on the island that they were stranded on. This is important to the story because this is how he gets the other survivors to the beach for a meeting. Once all the get to the beach Ralph is chosen to be a leader. This is important because some of the boys didn't want him to be leader but he was the chosen one. He, Jack and Simon went out to look around when they spotted a pig. Jack was chosen to be the head of hunting but he was reluctant to kill it, so the pig got away. Jack then vowed that he would never let another pig away again.
