Answer 3

Ralph's loyalties didn't change over the course of the book. He started off being a pleasant but rather distant boy who was slightly withdrawn. He essentially remained that way over the course of the book. On the surface he semed in control and capable, within he was plagued by doubts, homesick and had difficulty expressing himself. Piggy wanted to be his friend but Ralph, though generally polite, kept his distance. Simon seemed to hero worship him and Ralph tolerated and even liked the younger boy but he wasn't really his friend. Ralph himself was a little envious of Jack's casual authority. He would have liked Jack to have been his friend. Ralph's only real loyalty was to himself and his drive to get rescued and return home, to these things he remained loyal to the end.

Answer 4

The reader learns that Ralph takes his position of leader seriously and is prepared to accept the responsibility, as leader, of going alone to castle rock even though he, and the rest of the boys, believe it must be the location of the beast's lair.
