    First, Ralph changes in the way he thinks from the beginning to the end of the book. When Ralph arrives on the island his state of mind is more excited about the adventure of the island. He also likes the idea of not having grown-ups and the boys can make their own rules about things. Ralph has an idea that they all catch onto quickly when he says, “Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things.”(Golding 22). He then starts to realize what happens when nobody wants to follow the rules and do whatever they want. Ralph says that, “The fire’s the most important thing. Without the fire we can’t be rescued.” (Golding 199). His idea and mindset until the end is keeping the fire going. Ralph knows at the end that it wasn’t all fun and games…

    Another thing that causes tension between the two boys are rules. Ralph believes there should be rules to keep everyone in order and make living on the island seem civilized. In chapter five during a fight between the boys, Ralph yells at Jack saying, “ you're breaking the rules!” and Jack responds with, “who cares” (Golding pg 91). These quotes prove that Ralph and Jack have tension between each other because they want two different things in life. Ralph wants to live with law and order and Jack just wants to fool around and have fun, because of this No one wants to help Ralph build shelters because they think it is boring and want to follow Jacks ways and have fun.…

    Ralph tries to talk sense into him, but as a result of the little boy not knowing any better Ralph does not succeed. The “older boys” are unaffected by this event, simply due to the fact that they know better than to think there is a Beast inhabiting the island. In the middle of the story the Beast represents savageness and primitive human instincts. Simon witnesses the savage murder of a pig and mutilation of it from a spot in a hidden grove and starts hallucinating and talking with the pig head who is portrayed as the Lord of the Flies/Beast: “‘Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill!’ said the head. ‘You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you?” (Golding 143). One key part in the evidence is when the Beast points out that it is a part of the boys and not “something you could hunt and kill”. This is contrary to what was thought before when there was thought to be a flesh and blood beast stalking the boys every move. Since before this Simon has been witness to the vicious killing of a sow by a group of boys this really points to the idea that the Beast represents the savageness of human…

    Albeit Ralph represents the most respectable method of leadership for the group's needs, Ralph’s fixation on being rescued does not allow him to fulfill everyone else's needs and clouds his judgment in certain situations. The fear of this beast created by themselves has peaked and Ralph seeks to settle this once and for all. Little does he care that their only source of light is the moonlight above them and sharpened sticks are their only form of self-defense; “What was the use of three of them, handicapped by the darkness and carrying only sticks?” (132). This is an awful decision Ralph makes due to his desperate, frantic effort to regain power. Furthermore, he believes that his only method of getting rescued is to be in control and to have power on the island. As a matter of fact, Ralph believes that if Jack remains the powerful figure on the island, their hopes of rescue are non-existent. Hence, causing him to make and a poor decision to hunt the beast in the dark. As a result of this dreadfully composed expedition, the boys mistake something for a beast and heighten the sense of fear on the island. Effectively, Ralph prioritizing his own needs, rescue, in front of everyone else’s, causes him to make a poor decision. Afterwards, Ralph realizes the importance of a fire which has multiple benefits and decides to construct one in the most productive and effective manner.…

    When the boys are shocked by the sight of the dead parachutist on the mountain, Ralph manages to handle the situation with both sense and caution. He is always working vigorously to keep the boys’ focus on the hope of being rescued. Not only that, but he also took the lead alone when investigating the castle rock, even though he is fearful of the “beast”. Unfortunately, Ralph’s role of chief is short lived. As the boys lose more and more control of themselves, Ralph loses more and more control of the happenings on the island. As the boys grow more savage, Ralph eventually finds himself caught up in their frenzy and ultimately takes part in Simon’s death. Although he did kill someone, even if it was an accident, the way he dealt with it proves again that he is in control of himself and that the goodness in him will overcome. Rather than boasting about it, he and Piggy try to distance themselves from what happened as much as…
