How is Ralph saved in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

At the begining of the book Ralph stands on his head to express his sheer joy at being on a desert island without any adults. Even though he soon realises that they need to keep a signal fire going to increase the chances of rescue he still thinks that they can have fun while they are waiting to be rescued. He remarks that it is a "good island." Later he begins to get frustrated that the other boys don't seem to realise what is important. He knows that they need to keep the fire going, as it is their only chance of getting rescued. He knows that they need to use the 'toilet' which they have agreed on to reduce the chances of disease. Ralph also knows that they need shelters but the others boys simply want to bathe and hunt pigs. Things become worse when the fire is allowed to go out and they miss the opportunity of getting rescued. Ralph begins to realise that Jack hates and envies him. He becomes increasing despondant as he realises that Jack's talk of hunting and feasts is more attractive to the other boys than Ralph's own constant reminders to keep the fire going and build shelters. After the death of Simon Ralph realises the state to which the boys have sunk and fears where things are heading. After Piggys death he knows the utter dispair of being totally alone and hunted. By the end of the book the fair haired boy who had stood on his head in chapter one has been replaced by a boy with "a filthy body, matted hair and an unwiped nose," who wept for the death of Piggy, the end of innocence and for the darkness in man's hearts.

Answer 2

He is fair, in looks and personality. He is tall and attractive and a natural leader. While he indulges in some of the savage acts along with the other boys and gets caught up in the existence of the beast, he sticks by the idea that they must be rescued and keep the fire going.

Answer 3

In the final chapter of the book: chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters Ralph stabbed two of Jack's hunters with his spear but it is never mentioned how badly injured they were. Ralph also participated, along with virtually every other boy on the island, in the frenzied attack on Simon, which resulted in Simon's death. So, Ralph participated in at least one killing, even though he may not have inflicted the fatal wounds to Simon.

Answer 4

Ralph was being chased by Jack and the other boys, who were wanting to kill him. As Ralph ran onto the beach he fell. When he looked up there was a naval officer, jack and the other boys came running onto the beach and froze when they saw the naval officer. The naval officer asks if the boys were having a party and how many were dead. The naval officer was disappointed in the boys to see that they had killed Piggy and Simon. :)

Answer 5

No. He gets rescued by a Naval Officer. Simon and Piggy are the ones that die.

Answer 6

yes, although not aware of it, he helped murder Simon while participating in Jack's tribal dance pledging to kill the beast

Answer 7

Ralph represents logic and reason, along with Piggy. Unfortunately, Piggy is killed and Ralph gets chased because he is regarded by the savages as something that does not belong.

Answer 8

Ralph does not die.

Answer 9

Piggy and Simon.
