Why does Ralph call a meeting in Chapter 5?

I assume from your tag that you are talking about the meeting that Ralph calls in Chapter 5.  I have edited this to show that.


The reason that Ralph calls a meeting in this chapter is because he is unhappy with the way things are going on the island.  In specific terms, he is upset about how they missed the possiblity of getting rescued in the previous chapter (because the hunters let the fire go out).


More generally, he is unhappy that the boys do not seem to care about keeping things orderly and organized.  He wants them to be more serious about being a bit civilized.
