In the last chapter, Ralph is frightened for his life. He is crawling around the island with a makeshift spear to use for protection, he cannot find a safe place to hide, and suddenly..... he smells smoke. If the others cannot find him, they intend to burn him out.... then kill him with their spears. Sadly, the blaze intensifies putting everyone in danger.
