    For most of the novel, this has been true. Ralph, as a leader, should have been quicker and more able to take action in the beginning of their arrival at the island. I think that maybe if Ralph had taken action quicker, and was more firm, then things wouldn’t have spiraled out of control into this. Ralph must feel horrible, since he was elected chief at first. I know how he feels – to be a leader that failed everyone. It’s a lot of pressure since it can promote a lot of stress, and if one thing fails, who is everyone going to point their fingers at? The person who is in charge of everything and responsible for everyone, who in this case, is Ralph. I think that this will be the turning point of Ralph’s behavior. Now, in a time of crisis, he will be able to think more carefully. If I were in that position, I would as well. I can think of many creative ideas to get out of trouble.…

    Belonging is significant to everyone because it makes us who we are and it gives a certain connection towards places and people. In the two poems ‘Migrant Hostel’ and ‘St Patrick’s College’ by Peter Skrzynecki not belonging is explored which leads to the individual not expanding or deepening their understanding of themselves and the world. In the short film ‘Missing Her’ by Michael Weisler, the individual starts with themselves not belonging and by the end, they begin to find a sense of belonging which develops their understanding of themselves and their world.…
