What does Ralph accomplish that he is quite proud of?

Answer 1

Piggy believes that Ralph is a good leader because he trusts Ralph to remain civilized unlike his opponent, Jack. Piggy also suports Ralph out of a feeling of self preservation because as he says about Jack, "He can't hurt you: but if you stand out of the way he'd hurt the next thing. And that's me."

Answer 2

At the first meeting when the boys decide to hold an election there are only two candidates, "Him with the shell, him with the Trumpet-thing," also known as Ralph and Jack, the leader of the choir. The choir all raise their hands with "dreary obedience" for Jack while "Every hand outiside the choir except Piggy's was raised immediately," for Ralph, then Piggy too grudgingly raised his hand. The narrator points out that Piggy had shown the most intelligence while Jack, as leader of the choir was the obvious choice and yet... "There was a stillness about Ralph... there was his size, and attractive appearance (compared with Jack's face which was "crumpled, freckled and ugly without silliness") and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch. The being that had blown that, had sat waiting for them on the platform with the delicate thing balanced on his knees, was set apart."

Answer 3

Ralph was the first one to call all of the boys on the island to the beach. The others saw the conch as a symbol of power and order, and as Ralph had possession of it, he was seen as fitting to be the leader. Another thing to consider is the fact that only one other boy nominated himself to be the chief: Jack. However, Jack made a horrible first impression on the others by acting snotty, overdemeaning, and generally a jerk, making Ralph a much more suitable option.

Answer 4

Becouse he represented common sence, he didn't lose his humanity like Jack did.

Edit: *Because *sense
