This Chapter is called 'Fire and the Mountain'- why is this significantThe name of the chapter is significant because during this chapter the boys made a signal fire n the top of the mountain so ships and/or planes can see the smoke and later on, rescue them.Ralph and Jack both respond differently to the mention of the 'beastie'. Ralph tries to deal with the situation in a rational manner, being straightforward to reassure everyone that "there is no beastie". Although Jack agrees with Ralph that there is no 'beastie', he takes the situation a little further, promising to hunt and kill the beastie.These reactions show that Ralph is more focused on calming down everyone while also figuring out a way for all of them to be rescued. On the other hand Jack is just looking for something to hunt, not really caring on what else is happening at the moment.
