Rules---Rules---Rules

In chapter 5, when Jack and Ralph argue, Ralph says, "The rules are all we've got!"  How important are rules in society?  What rules are needed in this microcosm if the boys are to survive?  Why?  (The deadline to post a response to this question is midnight Thursday, April 26, 2012.)

Rules are very important to society because rules help organize so that things wont be so chaos. We have rules so society can feel safe and so that people cant just do what they feel they can do because they think they can. Rules needed in this microcosm for the boys to survive are to have some type of government. they need someone to tell them what has to go on and to be done. they need some type of punishments for those who don't follow the rules. Rules and punishments will he needed for them to survive.

Rules are very important in society. Without rules the world would be out of control. On this island they need rules if they are wanted to survive and get rescued. In my opinion rules they need for this island is no more playing around and joking. All boys have to help out with everything. Also they have to get along and no arguing. If they stop joking around maybe they will get rescued faster. If they start helping someone can watch the fire or something while someone else is busy with something else. If they stop arguing and get along it will be easier for them to work together.

Rules are very important, if society didn't have rules it would be a mess and mass confusion, if the boys want to be rescued they must follow the rules, like keeping a smoke, having food, and freash water to drink.

without rules people would do what they want when they want when this happens there becomes problems and confusion. When someone breaks a rule there should be a punishment because without punishment rules are pointless.
