In the beginning of the story The Lord of the Flies the boys try and establish some kind of order to maintain civilized behavior. The first rule established is about the conch shell. The rule is that whoever holds the shell is the speaker and everyone else should be quiet and listen. The next rule the children set into place is to determine a person in charge and they voe for Ralph. Ralph then goes on to establish different positions such as the hunters. He appoints Jack's group as the hunters and they will provide food. Another rule is that the fire will be kept going.
It should be noted that as the boys begin to draw towards Jack's side, the rules change and many fall away. The fire goes out, the shell is destroyed, and Civilization breaks down.
