Chapter 12 Summary

In chapter 12 of Lord of the Flies some events occur. Jack's tribe tried to capture and kill Ralph, but couldn't, so he captures Sam and Eric. Ralph hid in a thicket and Jack's hunters can't find him. They try poking at it but they think he is not in there. Jack's tribe could not find Ralph, so they try to get Sam and Eric to tell them where Ralph is hiding, but they did not tell them. They still cannot find Ralph, so they set the entire island on fire to try and smoke him out. A navy man sees the fire and rescues all the remaining boys. Ralph tells the sailor that he is the leader of the whole group.

My response to chapter 12 is that all of the boys turned into savages and were idiots. I am also surprised that they were rescued from the island.
