Lord of the Flies Ralph Description

          Ralph is the most civilized boy on the island. He keeps his sense of morality intact throughout the entire ordeal on the island. Early on, he attempts to bring the boys together under a structured rule where they can hopefully get rescued. He makes plans and tries to maintain order, but in the end the other boys become savage beast, leaving poor Ralph to fend for himself.

           Ralph maintains his manner of organization, at least in the beginning. It starts with the conch that calls the boys together for a meeting. From the meetings Ralph starts many opportunities. He  starts a signal fire to be seen by ships and designates shifts to keep it burning. He also delegates the hunters, a group to obtain food. He overall maintains control and helps the boys as long as they listen to him.

          Along with the previous paragraph, Ralph is a leader. He helps the "littluns" survive peacefully for many days. As soon as the plane crashed, Ralph assumed leadership and heading the group of boys in the right direction. It looked as if they would be rescued. The first sign of his failed leadership only came when jack became to interested in the hunting of the pig.
