In the beginning of the novel, The Lord of the Flies, Ralph has a carefree attitude, and is excited by the idea of adventure. By chapter 5, he is more serious, and begins to feel the burden of the responsibility he has taken on.

In chapter one: the Sound of the Shell Ralph is described initially as the boy with fair hair. Later in the chapter a more detailed description of Ralph appears, and I quote.... He was old enough, twelve years and a few months, to have lost the prominent tummy of childhood; and yet not old enough for adolescence to have made him awkward. You could see now that he might make a boxer, as far as width and heaviness of shoulders went, but there was a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil. Ralph was so overjoyed at finding himself on a tropical island that he stood on his head to express the deep pleasure that he seemed unable to express in words. Ralph quickly shed his clothes to fully experience the reality of the island, to feel the sand and sun against his skin. The only shadow over his pleasure was the uninvited and unwanted presence of Piggy, who kept pestering him with meaningless prattle and questions. While Piggy was excessively talkative and bent on imposing his company on Ralph. Ralph in contrast seemed cool, uncommunicative and reserved, but polite. He obviously didn't want Piggy's company but his good manners seemed to prevent him from simply telling the fat boy to go away.
