the Flies and The Simpsons both compare and contrast Bart and Ralph, how they keep everyone in control, and also how they become savages.

Piggy is made fun of throughout the whole beginning of the book but once he starts bringing upon these innovative ideas forward he starts to gain abit of confidence

Ralph is shown to have a child like personality at first; the first thing he does is strip and run into the ocean to swim, and as he looks around he is excited by the prospect of his very own undiscovered island without adults around. However, despite the childish and innocent side of his personality, Ralph is a natural leader and is quickly elected as such by the boys on
specifically, Golding displays through the character Ralph; the phases of psychological maturity. Ralph throughout his experiences on the island will progress and digress in maturity. Ralph will begin as a carefree, innocent child—happy to be away from constraints of society. However, through certain events, Ralph will grow to become a leader and choose to stay morally good, while the boys around him digress in evil.
