Character development
Within chapter 1 of Lord of the Flies, William Golding reveals the character development within Ralph. Right when the boys got off the plane, the boys needed a leader, someone to help guide them and help keep the boys civilized. Ralph single-handedly stepped up and suggests that he will be the leader. This reveals that he is a natural born leader. Although he is one of the older boys, he still is a child hence him making fun of Piggy’s nickname. It shows that he still has an inner child within him, but is willing to give that up in hopes of getting him and the other boys rescued.
