What is an important quote that Ralph says in chapter 2 of Lord of the Flies?

In
chapter two,calls an assembly and addresses the group of boys regarding their current situation.
As the elected chief, Ralph confirms that they are on an uninhabited island and makes a rule
concerning the use of the conch. After explaining how they will proceed to use the conch, he
assures everyone that they are on a good island and will have enough food to survive.
Unfortunately, the littlun with a mulberry-colored birthmark mentions the existence of a beastie
and Ralph is forced to quell the groups anxiety and excitement. Ralph then comments on the
importance of being rescued and tells the boys that it is imperative that they create a signal
fire.

The boys end up racing to the top of the mountain, where they
successfully start a fire using 's glasses. Unfortunately, the fire is too large and quickly
spreads to the nearby forest. After the fire goes out,and Piggy begin to argue and Ralph
intervenes. He proceeds to hold the conch and says,

"Weve got to have special people for looking after the fire. Any day there may be
a ship out there...and if we have a signal going theyll come and take us off. And another thing.
We ought to have more rules. Where the conch is, thats a meeting. The same up here as down
there" (Golding, 58).

Ralph's comment illustrates
his dedication to cultivating an organized, civil society on the uninhabited tropical island.
Ralph also recognizes the importance of being rescued and creating rules to develop a structured
community. After Ralph addresses the group, he puts Jack and his hunters in charge of
maintaining the signal fire. As the novel progresses, Ralph's number one priority concerns
maintaining the signal fire in hopes of being rescued.
