I was just playing with the little-uns you see. They are the best at playing boar. If they get hurt, what that matter. It's not like do anything useful anyway. We tried to get Ralph to play with us, but he was too busy sulking in the corner. He said that our boar-game is dangerous and someone could get hurt. Pfft! He's starting to sound more like Piggy every day.
After a while, we see that it's beginning to get dark. I wanted to keep playin' but Ralph says that we should head near the fire, for safety. I told him we reckon’ not. But he states firmly that we should. I say that I want to go hunting, but Ralph says that that’s even more dangerous than staying here and playing. Mmmph! That jerk, always being bossy and grown-up-y. I decided that

Just to, you know, keep everyone in line. But it was scary to find out that my stories, were true. But I won't let that stop me! I will hunt down that beast even if it takes me forever. And like that pig, I will tear it from limb to limb. Anyone who tries to stop me will end up like the pig …show more content…
Instead, I have to walk down this boring lagoon. During that time was when I found the two bottles. I was sitting on a rock beside the water when the waves started crashing and two bottles with something inside of them bumped up onto the sand. I jumped up, at first scared. The bottles seemed to look like a monster for a second.
When my eyesight focused I jumped up again with realization and picked up the bottles. They seem to have paper and pens in them. Excited, I immediately started to run to the rest of the kids that were roaming around the fire.
"Looky here!" I shouted. Everyone stopped whatever they were doing to watch me. "A pen and paper in them bottles washed up on shore!"
Ralph, who was playing with the little ones before, rushed to me and grabbed the bottles out of my hand.
“This is perfect” Ralph shouted, “We can send out a message to the grown-ups so they could find us!”
I quickly snatched away the bottles from him. “I found them first!” I quarreled, “They're mine.
He said that “I'm the leader so they’re now mine” He grabbed them back and begin to examine them. “We write letters and send them out so others could find us,” he said.
“Fine,” I said, “There's one for you but what about the other one?” He said that since we're two leaders, we should be the ones to write the
Smoke!' ' By the bathing pool!' The boys began to babble. Only Piggy could have the intellectual daring to suggest moving the fire from the mountain." (129)
Ralph: (Looking at his feet) If only they could send us something grownup…a sign or
When Jack slaps Piggy and purposely breaks his glasses, Ralph calls it "A dirty trick." (p. 76) This shows Jack's selfishness and his failure to respect other people, while at the same time Ralph's concern is understand others. Ralph manages to treat each boy equally with his own form of control while Jack treats the boys, especially Piggy lower. After hunting, the group sits down to eat and Jack gives everyone a share except for Piggy. When Piggy asks for some, Jack says, "You didn't hunt." (p. 78) Neither Ralph or many of the littluns hunted but they still got their portion of meat. This was only being directed to Piggy. Jack's behavior towards Piggy shows that he is unable to understand other people. A good leader would have taken care of all his/her group. Ralph understands that he must treat everyone equal or he will not be respected and is a better leader than Jack because of this knowledge.
I continued searching the living room, on the couch above the cup holder I also located a large orange bottle with a green leafy substance located in it. I also located some more straws that had been cut, along with a small baggy with spades on it. Along with these items I also located money orders that were in $500.00 increments. Next to the money orders I located an envelope that had been written on. The writing was made into what appeared to be a chart that had different increments on it. One of the increments written on the top was
And another thing, we ought to have more rules”-(42). After having Piggy show him the right things to do, Ralph decides there should be more rules , and a signal in case of rescue. Ralph’s increased morale is an outcome on Piggy’s impact on him. When Piggy was being chased by the boys dressed as savages, he told Ralph he thought he was going to have asthma. Ralph mocks him by saying, "Sucks to your ass-mar!"-(141).
“ LET ME GO, CHRISTOPHER. MOM DAD!!” Those were my exact words when they caught me…
Ralph laughed, and the other boys laughed with him. The small boy twisted further into himself.
In the novel there are many decisions that Ralph makes that are for the better of the group. Some examples of these choices Ralph made are made specific spots for the boys to use the restroom, building the shelters, and many more. One quotation that is used in the novel that shows Ralph’s concern for the group is when he states, “You let the fire go out.” (page 69) This quote was directed toward Jack when he was supposed to be watching the fire; but instead, Jack decided that he wanted to go
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. Somehow everyone survives the plane crash except for the pilot which means the youngsters were without any adult supervision. Ralph’s childishness was soon to show as he runs around cheering with his clothes off. In the book Ralph is distinguished as a handsome fair looking boy with blond hair and gold looking
I found out what your ‘drug-stores’ were. He turned to us and spoke rapidly. He and this Wolfsheim bought up a lot of side-street
“Namine, Kairi are you here?” He called coming up to the service counter. I looked around the room, it was filled with bizarre and unusual products in jars and
Crumples of papers were strewn on the floor. Jayden let out a deep sigh, whilst laying his head on the sepia, wooden table. He gathered the papers that had been thrown on the floor and went through each of them, before settling on one.
“Can I have one?” he said. I was confused, then I realized, he saw me take it.
The hunt was a failure...I've failed to kill a pig once again. That's it! It won't happen again I swear it! Next time I see a pig its throat will stain my knife with its blood and my hunters and I will be true hunters. I care none for those making shelter and helping others, they are just too weak to hunt so they have to stay back. Why should I help the weak when all they do is get in the way? Ralph can shut his mouth about the matter of me helping and not getting a kill, I should be the one ordering him and criticizing him not the other way. I'm stronger, more powerful, and i'm bigger, who is he to boss me around when he is nothing compared to me. Though swimming in the lagoon with him was fun, it doesn't settle the fact that I am better and
The other 2 kids snickered and started to make funny faces at me. I wasn’t going to let them get to me, but of course, I couldn’t hold my anger in.
