The boys hunt for Ralph as an order of Jack.
Ralph Skan is 13 years old (birthdate: August 12, 1998).
In Chapter 12 of Lord of the Flies, Ralph hides, wondering about his wounds. He thinks he sees Bill in the distance, but realizes that it is not actually Bill anymore. He concludes that Jack will never leave him alone. Ralph can see the Lord of the Flies, now a skull with the skin and meat eaten away.He crawls to the lookout near Castle Rock and calls to Sam and Eric.They tell him that Roger has sharpened a stick at both ends. Ralph crawls away to a slope where he can safely sleep.
To quote directly about Ralph from the book... Lying there in the darkness, he knew he was an outcast. "'Cos I had some sense." As he later said to Samneric, "What have I done? I liked him-- and wanted us to be rescued--" And "But I've done nothing... I only wanted to keep up a fire!"
