what does ralph say is the most important thing in chapter 5
Jack stands and reaches for the conch so he can talk. But Ralph refuses to hand it over and Jack sits back down. Jack's actions show he still respects the rules of the boys' civilization. Ralph observes that people are becoming afraid.e points out all the things they said they'd do, but didn't: store water, build shelters, keep the signal fire going. He says the fire is the most important thing on the island. Civilization involves planning and work, not fun.
