285 Words2 Pages
In the novel, Ralph represents leadership and civilization. Ralph represents each and every human being trying to lead their lives, although other factors (other characters in the book) are involved. Ralph represents order and the hope of being rescued. An example of Ralph’s leadership can be found in chapter 1. "Shut up," said Ralph absently. He lifted the conch. "Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things."(22) He automatically feels there should be a chief, which shows that he wants an organized system. He wanted a count of everyone on the island. “I told you to. I told you to get a list of names!” (46) Being on the island, Ralph tries everything he can to make the island as much like home as possible, and wants to initiate routines.
