1. What survival techniques or strategies are used by the boys? They do not have to be only physical.
1) Ralph:
- Blowing of the Conch - structure, rules, and authority
- Fire - hope to be rescued and back to normalcy
- Shelters - protection & a symbol of civil behaviors
2) Jack:
- Hunting - basic animal instinct within human & survival of the fittest
- Roasted Pig - temptation, which he uses to manipulate others' (stomachs and spirits)
- Beastie - a common enemy everyone hates and fears, which made Jack rise as a heroic figure among the boys
3) Piggy:
- Specs - logic, civilization, and human intelligence
4) Simon:
- Nature - a connection to the wilderness, which did not bring violence and savagery to him, but eternal peace, enlightenment, and morality from within.
5) The Others:
- Simply follow the leader (Ralph or Jack) as a guide, as well as a grown-up figure of authority and rules, to survive.
- Do what others do in order to prevent being an outcast (like Piggy) and survive in the "island society".
