What do Jack and Maurice and Roger take from Ralphs group after attacking Ralph and Piggy in lord of the flies?
They took Piggy´s glasses, but didn´t take the conch. The conch is only a symbol of authority and has power only when the society agrees that it does. For Jack, the shell is, now, only a shell. The glasses, however, give him real power because he is the only one with the ability to start a fire. "He was a chief now, in truth." (Pg. 168)
Who is more mature in Lord of the Flies piggy or Ralph and give an example from the text?
Piggy is the more mature character on the island in Lord of the Flies. Throughout the story, while Ralph loses his civilized attitude as the story goes on (like when he goes hunting with the hunters and attacks another boy), Piggy remains the voice of logic and reason on the island. "Ralph was already clambering over the first smashed swathes of the scar. A long way ahead of him was crating and laughter. "Piggy watched him in disgust. " 'Like a crowd of kids-' "He sighed, bent, and laced up his shoes. The noise of the errant assembly faded up the mountain. Then, with the martyred expression of a parent who has to deep up with the senseless ebullience of the children, he picked up the conch, turned toward the forest, and began to pick his way over the tumbled scar." (pg 38) This quote shows how Ralph acted immaturely, while Piggy keeps his head and adult-like attitude.
What could Ralph have done differently in the lord of the flies?
Nothing and that is the point of the novel. All of the boys, Ralph included, eventually give in to their innate savagery through time as they gradually lose the influence of the old society of morals and regulations and descend into corruption and savagery innate in human nature without the restraint of society. Ralph did simply everything he could given the deteriorating situation, trying to implement law and civility into the boys but his efforts were lost in the frenzy of the innate savagery emerging from themselves. As we see towards the end of the novel, even Ralph forgets the importance and hope of the fire signal and participates in a hunt and is involved in the murder of Simon. They were helpless to themselves.
