The smoke would be very helpful in case there are any ships out at sea. Smoke would let the people on the ship know that there are people on the island. On the other hand, shelter is important in order to keep wild creatures away like the beast they all speak about. However, I still think that the fire is more important for heat and a possible rescue.

It would provide a safe place for them to sleep and provide shelter from the "beastie" In the chapter it says, "'They talk and scream. The littluns. Even some of the others. As if—' 'As if it wasn’t a good island.'" They are scared and need a place of shelter to at least have some sense of saftey. Also they already have food they have access to, they don't need meat.]]> 2022-05-25 19:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2199842568 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2201111860 i think that the shelter is more important to make a basic hut or shelter and it wouldnt take the boys that long to build. They need that shelter incase a storm comes and so they arent getting bug bites and diseases from them. helps keep them warm and dry. They could even have a fire in the shelter but the fire is so quick and eassy to build and start. They were wanting to have a fire going as a SOS but they should be worried about how they are going to survive on the island if they dont get rescused or not for ahwile at least. Get comfortavle while you can.

Shelter is more important because they need to stay safe from storms, animals, bugs, and the other dangers on the island. Shelter also provides a feeling of comfort. This could help the younger children feel more secure and safe. However, fire is very important too because it can send a signal and help the boys get rescued. But because they've been on the island for so long already, I believe they need to first focus on making shelters, then they can find time for the fire. - Madison B.]]> 2022-11-18 20:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2390428574 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2427587354 I have gone back and forth on which I feel is most important. Why couldn't they space out some fires to draw more attention but also while the huts are being built by Ralph and Simon the fires could also act as some sort of shelter, it would keep wild animals away, bugs, but also provide warmth and the sense of security.

I think at this point they know that they're on the island for the long run, and to protect themselves they need shelter. I think that lighting a fire occasionally is good, but they need to ration as much firewood as possible.

This is because the fire is the boys' only means of signaling for rescue and being rescued is their top priority. Ralph emphasizes the importance of the fire when he says, "There’s another thing. We can help them to find us. If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire." Additionally, the fire could be used to cook or gather around when it gets cold. In contrast, while the huts provide shelter and a sense of home, they are not as immediately necessary for the boys' survival as the fire is.

I think it is more important because it would keep them warm if they are cold. They can use it for light and to cook food. The fire can also be used to signal to anyone that they are there. Fire can keep everyone at night safe because it would keep live animals away as well.

Making a fire is way more easier then making a hut and can be done in a smaller amount of time. ]]> 2023-03-20 05:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2523001138 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2527710802 Building fires in my opinion is more important than building huts. Without heat at night to keep them warm then they could die. You don't need huts to survive on an island. Huts are nice but not as important as fire. Air planes can see the fire smoke and hopefully stop. They can also cook food in the fire. - Kary T]]> 2023-03-22 19:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2527710802 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2539029378 I feel like building the fire is more important because shouldn't get to get too cold at night because they could die but at the same time they could use the fire as light to build the huts, so they could multi task. - kayla k ]]> 2023-03-30 23:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2539029378 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2540472904 Building shelter is more important than hunting, as most people will only starve after several days without food. Shelter will also allow people to be more organized, and even utilize primitive tools. Ovens can also be made for stones, and sand. Fishing is also likely to be a good source of food, and building shelters near a source of fresh water is also a good idea, as fresh water is needed far sooner after being stranded than food.

It is important for them to get rescued but if they have no shelter to survive then there will be no one to rescue. "You feel as though you are not hunting but -- being hunted." If there truly is a beastie in the forest they need to protect themselves from it. If they are constantly running around in the open and alone then eventually the snake thing will start picking them off one by one.]]> 2023-04-12 18:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2552004905 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2576014882 I believe that the most important job is to build the huts. They need shelter, especially since they have no idea when they will get rescued. I know that having a fire is nice, but a hut will keep you just as warm and put a shelter over your head in case of bad weather. The beastie is scaring them, and if there is one out there coming down to hunt them, they can't just hide behind a fire. So, I believe that building huts is more convenient. -Kendall L ]]> 2023-05-03 01:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2576014882 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2577824883 I think the most important job is shelter.

They still have plenty of fuel for the fire and if it does go out while they are building the huts, they will be able to relight it when the time comes. They are scared of the beastie, and they do not know what exactly they are trying to look for. Because they do not know what to look for, they are mainly scared of everything unfamiliar.

If they don't have a place to keep themselves dry and protected from the weather then this is when things start to fall apart. They have to keep themselves protected from the elements and the storms that they know will come. Also, being able to keep everyone together at night in a protected area will keep them safe from the beast. It is less likely that it will hurt someone in a group then if they are off by themselves at night. ]]> 2023-05-04 20:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2578820891 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2578907141 Although both fire and shelter are crucial for long-term survival, I believe that keeping the fire burning is of paramount importance. The fire serves multiple purposes, such as cooking food, purifying water, deterring predators, providing warmth, and most importantly, signaling for rescue. In contrast, shelter primarily shields the boys from the wind and rain. While protection from the elements is important, it takes a backseat to the immediate need for a rescue signal. Without a fire, the chances of being rescued diminish greatly. Therefore, maintaining the fire should be given higher priority over building huts.

While fire serves many uses such as cooking and warmth, a shelter would give them protection from weather and predators.

Without the fire they can not cook the pig that Jack might kill. The fire might also help them be rescued. If they only focused on building the huts and not the fire then they may not get rescued. They are both important, but I think the fire is more so.]]> 2023-05-12 18:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2589079516 https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2591792082 Between keeping the fire going and building a shelter, the fire is the most important thing. While a shelter is a must have, the fire is what will help them get rescued. If they built the shelters first, then who is to say that someone might have passed by the island but assumed there was no one on it because there was no smoke? Shelter protects the boys from wild animals and weather, as well as giving the younger ones a place where they can feel safe from this mysterious "beastie." However, something similar could be created just from a cave or beneath a hill. The fire, on the other hand, can be used to attract planes and boats searching for these boys. Without the fire, they will not get spotted and as a result, might not be rescued. ]]> 2023-05-15 18:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_divittorio/vjb8xrbxvklsmypu/wish/2591792082
