The importance of having no adults on the island in Lord Of the Flies is to show that they can do whatever they want. There are no rules of what you can or cannot do. Also it shows that there is no order. The kids are the ones who have to govern themselves, and you now how kids get when one of the has more control then the other. They try and take it from them.

What does Ralph think is most important on the island?
I don't think that there was any one thing that pleased Ralph most, except perhaps the absence of adults. Ralph seemed equally captivated by everything, the fact that he was on an island, that it was a tropical island, the reef, the platform, the bathing pool, the mountain, the pockets of flowers and trees, everything was 'good' it was a 'good island.' Initially Ralph viewed the entire experience as a positive experience, an opportunity to have fun while he waited for the inevitable rescuers to find him and the other boys.
