Best Answer

Ralph yearns to be back at home, he wants to be clean and to sleep in a bed. Ralph longs for a hot, soapy, bath, for clean clothes, a haircut, a toothbrush and for his old and familiar books. What Ralph really longs for is to be rescued and to get away from the island. He is deeply homesick and any attractions which the island once held for him have long since been replaced by the uncomfortable realities of living there..
