So purpose of the fire was to send a signal to anyone on a boat or ship to come rescue the boys. However, later on in the story, someone sets the jungle on fire to kill Ralph. So, the fire was originally intended for good but then was used to do evil.

As for the drum roll, I think it represents chaos and future troubles they will encounter because they have "fallen apart as a society." There is a lot of discord among the boys.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

What is a major difference between modern audience and audiences during shakespear time
myrzilka [38]
During Shakespeare time which was in the 16th century aka 1500’s was that there was a “social class” type of audience sequence where the queen would sit in the “best seat” so everyone could see her. There would be a gentleman’s room only for men to have a good view. The normal or more underclass people would sit on the floor leaning against the stage. Basically everything depended on your royalty in some type of way. Modern day today it all depends on how much your ticket cost to see where you sit
