∙ 10y agoI've already read the book, and i believe that the fire at the top of the mountain kept him civilized, and the fact that he was the "leader" of the group, but also his eeling that they were gonna get rescued. Thats what I think.

Ralph decides that someone with more experience should either guide or control them; thus leading to the idea that Piggy could. Piggy was no chief even though he was older than the others. Ralph's own ability is weakening everyday. He concludes that if he were to blow the conch, and none of the boys were to show up, all sanity will be gone and they will be savages.
Golding subtly portrays Jack's group as the heathen by, starting with the death of Simon, showing that they base everything they do upon their own needs or desires. they show no interest in how violent they are being, or even in the needs of others. all the tribe members do what they do because of the chief, and the chief does all he does for either food, survival, or revenge on Ralph.

Ralph thinks the most important things that need adressing are being rescued and keeping up the fire.
Piggy predictys that Ralph will be going back home but he knows that he will not. He felt he was going to die on the island.
Some things that make Ralph a desirable leader are that he's bigger than Jack, and he appears fit and powerful. He also calls the meeting and has possession of the conch, which makes him appear to be a leader and in control of things.

The top rank of the BFP is the Chief. The Technical Staff are under the Chief. The Chief decides who all needs to be on the Technical Staff and what their duties will be.
Piggy. We know from the beginning of the novel that he WA bullied at school ("as long as they don't call me what they used to.."). At the end, he does get what he wanted. as Ralph weeps "for the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy"
On the island the only items of any importance to Ralph would be the conch and the signal fire. Indeed in chapter 5: Beast from Water Ralph actually states, "The fire is the most important thing on the island." But the things that really matter to Ralph are things which he years for back at home. He longs for a hot, soapy, bath, for clean clothes, a haircut, tootbrush and for his old and familiar books. The thing that is of most importance to Ralph is to return home.

He needs to realize that the girl just wanted to be friend, that there are many girls in the sea for him, and that he needs to move on.
