In Lord of The Flies, during the first few chapters the boys tend to find ways to survive by making rules, and showing respect to the leader of the group, Ralph. As soon as they get the idea of owning the island they lose hope of rescue and this makes them lose control of themselves.

Piggy's glasses. They start to collect a bunch of branches and putting them in a pile. Then start the fire with the glasses, all of the boys go down the mountain but the boy with the mulberry birthmark. Remembering the boy because of his birthmark they notice he is not with them.
