Door For Him - Original Writing

As the order on the island begins to break down, Ralph tightly holds onto the idea of rescue. On the island, every responsibility is on his shoulders and will be until they leave. As he ponders his feelings, “he [loses] himself in a maze of thoughts that were rendered vague by his lack of words to express them” (76). Daydreaming about home expresses his longing for civilized life and comfort; remaining in a state of innocence. However, he has matured a great deal since the beginning of the novel. As the leader, Ralph is held accountable for the group of boys. His recognition of this idea demonstrates his maturity, but also his longing

Ralph woke up on the island and found a conch and a boy named Piggy. Piggy tells Ralph to blow into the conch and suddenly all of the other boys begin to emerge from the growth on the island. After agreeing that they are without adults the boys become concerned. Piggy says, “That’s why Ralph made a meeting. So as we can decide what to do.” (Golding, 21) A little later, the boys vote on Ralph to be chief. As chief Ralph wisely decided that there needed to be rules on the island. “We can’t have everybody talking at once. We’ll have to have ‘Hands up’ like at school.” He held the conch before his face and glanced round the mouth. “Then I’ll give him the conch.” (Golding, 33)

The folds on Ralph’s clothes were “stiff like cardboard.” Ralph noticed this because of the “new mood of comprehension.” The author implies that Ralph gained more experience based on the events that happened causing him to be more perceptive. Furthermore, Ralph discovered how poorly the boys were cooperating and how their conditions could have been better if they were all responsible. The children on the island are more focused on self-entertainment, rather than survival.

Not having been rescued yet has finally had a told on Ralph who seems to be getting more impatient as days pass by. Essentially what happens is he orders an assembly to take place where he will discuss with the group of boys how they need to follow orders how they need to do this or that in order to get rescued and at this point the boys no longer want to listen to him. They think he has "too many things" to say so they want to replace him. It was a great move for Ralph to do, remind the boys they need to take part being rescued. However, because at the beginning of when they were first on the island he had been a fun a chief they are not used to the idea of him wanting things to be done. They do not respect him anymore. They do not want to

Ralph begins to lose his power when he does things such as struggling to find a reason to hold a meeting. His silence from internal conflict begins to not be good for the boys. All of the problems the boys have are solved through the conch shell and with the exchange of ideas between the boys, but since Ralph begins to become silent, the conch becomes valueless. This begins the fall of his leadership on the island and the boys begin to start transitioning to the leadership of Jack. Jack however is not much better and makes mistakes just like Ralph.

Piggy is an intelligent, but vulnerable character who gets bullied by other boys on the island. When Ralph is telling the boys that rescuing will come shortly, Piggy reminds him, “Nobody knows where we are. We may be here a long time,”(34). Ralph and the other boys are too naive and close-minded about their predicament; they easily believed that they will be rescued soon. However, Piggy is not easily deceived; he knows that it’ll take time and hard work to escape the island. Although Piggy is physically weak, his knowledge and intelligence benefit Ralph from making poor decisions. He is different from the other boys from the island as he acts more like an adult and tries to educate them. Although Piggy is knowledgeable and wise, he’s also weak

Even though Ralph is a young teenage boy he still possesses the characteristics of a grown man. He shows us courage, responsibility, strength, hard work, and most importantly leadership. One nautical day everything changed for Ralph and his schoolmates after becoming stranded on an uninhabited island out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The boys claim they were shot down, but no one knows for sure what had happened.

When Ralph got out of the shower he went back to his room. He put on the soft, warm clothes that the uniformed man had showed them. It was the best feeling Ralph had in along time. Jack opened the door behind Ralph, he looked like a person again without the savage paint on. He sat by Ralph and they looked out the window at the burning island.
