Quoting from the book the naval officer's impression of the various boys seems to have been... (The hunters) A semicircle of little boys, their bodies streaked with coloured clay, sharp sticks in their hands, were standing on the beach making no noise at all. (Ralph) The officer inspected the little scarecrow in front of him. the kid needed a bath, a hair-cut, a nose wipe and a good deal of ointment. (Littluns) Other boys were appearing now, tiny tots some of them, brown, with the distended bellies of small savages. (Jack) A little boy who wore the remains of an extraordinary black cap on his red hair and who carried the remains of a pair of spectacles at his waist...

In Lord of the Flies what does the naval officer see Jack as?

At the very end of the book, after Jack had accidentally set fire to the entire island in an attempt to hunt down and kill Ralph, Ralph staggered on to the beach pursued by the hunters and came face to face with a naval officer. A naval cutter and crew were hauled up on the beach. The officer asked what was going on and told Ralph that, "We saw your smoke." So the book ironically ended with the rescue of the remaining boys by a naval vessel which had been attracted by the same fire which had been lit in an attempt to kill one of those same boys.


What effort does Ralph say the boys should take to get rescued?

Ralph is able to persuade the other boys that they will be saved by sharing with them that his father is a navy captain. He tells them that the queen has a room with maps that show every island in the world.


How is Ralph saved in Lord of the Flies?

At the begining of the book Ralph stands on his head to express his sheer joy at being on a desert island without any adults. Even though he soon realises that they need to keep a signal fire going to increase the chances of rescue he still thinks that they can have fun while they are waiting to be rescued. He remarks that it is a "good island." Later he begins to get frustrated that the other boys don't seem to realise what is important. He knows that they need to keep the fire going, as it is their only chance of getting rescued. He knows that they need to use the 'toilet' which they have agreed on to reduce the chances of disease. Ralph also knows that they need shelters but the others boys simply want to bathe and hunt pigs. Things become worse when the fire is allowed to go out and they miss the opportunity of getting rescued. Ralph begins to realise that Jack hates and envies him. He becomes increasing despondant as he realises that Jack's talk of hunting and feasts is more attractive to the other boys than Ralph's own constant reminders to keep the fire going and build shelters. After the death of Simon Ralph realises the state to which the boys have sunk and fears where things are heading. After Piggys death he knows the utter dispair of being totally alone and hunted. By the end of the book the fair haired boy who had stood on his head in chapter one has been replaced by a boy with "a filthy body, matted hair and an unwiped nose," who wept for the death of Piggy, the end of innocence and for the darkness in man's hearts.

Info about the USS Yorktown?

There have been several USS Yorktowns. The previous one was sunk in World War 2 by the Japanese. The current aircraft carrier USS Yorktown was a replacement 60 years after that one sunk. There is an awesome web site by a Naval officer on the Yorktown. I have included his link for you because he covers the history and has photos on his site. He is also authoritative on the subject being a Naval Officer. See link below. Thanks for using answers com and wikianswers.
