William Golding likely made Ralph the way he is in "Lord of the Flies" to symbolize civilization, order, and leadership. By juxtaposing Ralph's character with the other boys on the island, Golding emphasizes the struggle between the human desire for order and the inherent savagery within us all. Ralph's character serves as a representation of the boys' longing for structure and rules in a chaotic and unpredictable environment.

How does golding describe Ralph's flight across the island?
It is described in a way of animalistic savagery, which, ironically, is what Ralph has been denying throughout the book, but is what in the end leads him to the beach, and his survival.
What strange thing does Ralph notice?
This scene is extremely significant, because it reveals Ralph's struggle to maintain his focus on what he deems is the most important act on the island--maintaining the signal fire. He knows that he has to gather the boys to make their way from Castle Rock to the mountain where Samneric spotted the beast, but for a moment, Ralph completely loses his focus and grip on his priorities. He sees the enthusiasm of the boys pushing the rocks all around him, and Ralph's train of thought completely slips away. Golding uses the simile "like a bat's wing" to describe the way that Ralph's thought process completely shut down, even if momentarily. He and his leadership faltered, and he could not remember the importance of the smoke signal. Golding's simile is an apt one for the scene, as he described the cave and the pink rocks being streaked with guano, like icing earlier; his diction also seems like a play on words, as if to suggest that Ralph is going 'batty.'
How is Piggy different from Ralph?

Why the author choose boys as the character of Lord of the Flies?
I think that he chose boys for a number of different reason, which might include... Golding deliberately chose the names of Ralph and Jack, which were also the names of two of the main characters in the book "Coral Island." They were also boys and by using characters with the same names in a similar situation Golding was inviting comparisons. At the time people were used to schoolboys behaving in a certain way, as they had done in the Billy Bunter series and similar books so Golding lent shock value to his novel by having schoolboys acting in a way which people of the time found unsettling, violent and unexpected. Adults also tend to be set in their ways whereas Golding, by using boys, allowed his character's to have unformed characters which could then develop over the course of the novel. The young are more amenable to change but they are also susceptible to fears of the unknown and wildly uninformed ideas. Adults would have establish a routine, allocated tasks and done things in a 'sensible' manner. Adults would not have fallen prey to the self induced fear of an imagined beast and without that element the novel would have lost much of its impact.
