Ralph daydreams about his home because he is homesick. Right from the start of the book Ralph had an unshakable belief that his father would come and rescue him. Ralph is uncomfortable with life on the island, he hates having long hair and dirty clothes, he longs for the simple comforts of a bath, a toothbrush, a warm bed and familiar books to read. Ralph fears the direction in which the boys, under the influence of Jack, are heading and returning home is his only hope of escaping the inevitable results of the boys' downward spiral.
