You might say that Simon interpreted Ralph's daydream as a longing to be rescued when he said "You'll get back to where you came from." However as Ralph didn't discus his daydream with anyone Simon could not have known about it. Simon probably just realised that Ralph was withdrawn and worried about his rapidly approaching possible encounter with the beast at castle rock and simply wished to offer Ralph some encouragement and support.

In Lord of the Flies how does the vastness of the ocean viewed from this side of the island affect Ralph's of hope and rescue?

As Ralph looks at the ocean he becomes acutely aware of the 'reality' of his circumstance on that island. The ocean is much like a mirror, in that it forces Ralph to look at himself and his situation. He finds himself questioning some of his behavior. Ralph sees the ocean as the embodiment of doubt, hopelessness, and defeat. The ocean is the face of unexplored territory, it has none of the safety and comfort that the lagoon has offered the boys. Ralph begins to lose faith in the idea that they will be rescued, and in the hope they will survive at all


Lord of the Flies how does Ralph boost the boys' morale?

During the second asembly the littlun with the mulberry coloured birth mark on his face raised the subject of the snake-thing. Although the boys mocked the littlun many of them felt a distinct sense of unease. Ralph boosted their morale and raised their spirits by telling them that he'd decided that they wanted to have fun and they wanted to get rescued. This simple statement shifted the boys attention away from the idea of beasts in the dark jungle and focused them instead on positive thoughts. Ralph lifted the boys spirits further when he said, "We want to be rescued; and of course we shall be rescued."


What was Ralph's idea to help the rescuers in Lord of the Flies?

Why does Ralph have such a strong desire to spend the night with the savages at Castle Rock?

Ralph desires to stay with the savages at Castle Rock because he believes it is crucial for him to assert his authority and maintain control over the group. He wants to show that he is not afraid and to keep the boys focused on being rescued rather than descending into chaos. Additionally, Ralph wants to challenge the power dynamics within the group and prevent Jack from gaining complete control.

Piggy & Ralph


Why would piggy pretend that the idea to call with the shell was Ralph's?

Piggy likely pretended that the idea to call with the shell was Ralph's because he wanted to avoid confrontation or conflict with the other boys. By giving credit to Ralph, Piggy may have hoped to maintain a sense of harmony within the group and avoid being singled out or further marginalized. Additionally, Piggy may have recognized that Ralph's leadership position made his ideas more likely to be accepted by the group.
