Ralph ran because Jack had just thrown a spear at him with the intended purpose of killing him. The spear had tore the skin and flesh over Ralph's ribs. That spear was followed by two more which narrowly missed and the entire tribe were advancing towards him. Knowing that the death of Piggy had now removed all last vestiges of restraint Ralph simply ran in order to save his life.

In chapter 7: Shadows and Tall Trees the boys are making there way from castle rock towards the mountain. When they pause for a while Ralph drifts into a daydream about a cottage he once stayed in on the edge of the moor. He remembered the wild ponies which used to come to the garden wall and could visualise laying in a shed in the garden and watching snow falling. Ralph recalled having cornflakes with sugar and cream in bed and the shelf full of familiar books next to the bed. At night his dreams of home were sometimes invaded my unpleasant nightmare images, a bus was one theme, which had their roots in his anxiety over the direction in which Jack was influencing the boys on the island.Also in "The Shell and the Glasses" Ralph was dreaming about a bus coming nearr and nearer

"Lord of the Flies" is a book expressing a metaphor of how chaotic society is and can be when authority is ignored. Ralph is one of the boys who remains civilized in the book, and his main fear is of what the boys are going to turn into and do without authority. He knows chaos will corrupt the society of the boys on the island and he fears this.
In "Lord of the Flies," Ralph is initially supported by Piggy and Simon in trying to maintain order and build shelters. Later on, some of the boys also side with Ralph, such as Sam and Eric, who continue to support him despite pressure to join Jack's group. Ultimately, other boys are swayed by Jack's charisma and turn against Ralph.
At the end of Chapter 6 in "Lord of the Flies," the choice of the boys to hunt and kill a sow foreshadows a darker, more violent turn as they descend further into savagery and lose their connection to civilization. This act marks a shift towards primal instincts and power struggles within the group that will have dire consequences later in the novel.

In the novel Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, Ralph symbolizes orderly, law-governed society. From the first chapter of the novel when Ralph discovers, identifies and retrieves the conch, his character remains closely associated with the conch, which he uses to call the meetings on the platform and which also confers authority on the boys to speak in turn at the meetings. Ralph becomes the boys' elected leader, a role which requires him to make the laws. He also attempts to maintain order and enforce the rules. As the story progresses, however, Ralph loses authority and eventually gives up trying to enforce rules. As Jack's power rises and Ralph's declines, orderly society is replaced by savagery and chaos.
They turn into flies and eat themselves. They think they taste yummy.
Lord of the flies is about a group of kids stranded on an island and they are rying to get rescued when all of a sudden one of the younger boys thinks they saw a monster then the whole book is about the boys trying to get rescued and trying to find and kill the monster and stay alive.... 2 people die and one is missing im not gonna ruin it though
In "Lord of the Flies," the island descends into chaos and violence primarily due to the rise of savagery and the breakdown of civilization among the boys. Ralph loses control over the group as they become more influenced by their primal instincts and fear, leading to conflict and the ultimate tragic events on the island.
Roger's description of his appearance is in chapter 4, he is the first boy to turn savage, "but the shock of black hair down his nape and low his forehead" Though earlier in the book he is described as the "dark boy"
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 adolesence 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. This description includes two phrases which have some bearing on the end of the novel. "He might make a boxer" perhaps foreshadows the fcat the Ralph is prepared to fight until the bitter end for what he believs to be right. Likeways unlike Jack, who's eyes could turn to anger, Ralph's "mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil." This foreshadows again that Ralph refused to become a savage and give himself over to the darkness or devil, within.
Jack uses his manipulation skills to turn the boys against Ralph by appealing to their primal instincts and offering them power and freedom from rules. By creating a sense of fear and chaos, Jack is able to undermine Ralph's leadership and eventually overthrow his authority.
