The relationship between the symbol of food and my character would be the idea that in the beginning Ralph wasn't big on the idea of hunting as much as Jack was, but later in the story he goes hunting with Jack and brings the "savage" out of him. Ralph was always under the idea of making his job the signal fires and the shelters
"The fire’s the most important thing. Without the fire we can’t be rescued. I’d like to put on war-paint and be a savage. But we must keep the fire burning. The fire’s the most important thing on the island."

"Piggy and Ralph, under the threat of the sky, found themselves eager to take a place in this demented but partly secure society." (Page 152)

Ralph's position is similar to in the real world when there are two kinds of leaders. The type that many support as good leadership but is a smaller community≥ and the other being a leader who has a lot of supporters but might no be "good" leadership.

Throughout the novel, clothing is used as a way to show the audience the boys leaving their old lives behind. When they take off their clothes, tear them up, or put them in the fire, it is meant to symbolize them leaving their old lives behind.

"To put on a grey shirt once more was strangely pleasing." (Page 14)
This shows that clothing was like a way to connect to the outside world. On the island cloths were not needed, but on the outside world cloths represent a lot about a person.

In chapter 3, Ralph and Jack bonded when in water.

"They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate. All the warm salt water of the bathing pool and the shouting and splashing  and laughing were the only just sufficient to bring them together." P55

In chapter 9 Ralph and Piggy got closer when in water as well.

"Ralph came to the surface and squirted a jet of water at him (Piggy). 'Mind my specs,' said Piggy. 'If I get water on the glass I got to get out and clean 'em.' Ralph squirted again and missed. He laughed at Piggy, expecting him to retire meekly as usual and in pained silence. Instead, Piggy beat the water with his hands." P147

One of Ralph's main obstacles on the island is Jack because he constantly wants to become chief over Ralph, and he forms his own tribe which splits the groups of boys apart.

"Ralph went crimson. "You said you were hunters. That was your job." Jack ignored him."Who wants to join my tribe and have fun."' (Page 150)

How Ralph changes throughout the story would be the fact that he went from someone who was in charge and hopeful to someone who feels as though he failed himself. He also turned very depressed throughout the story as he realized that there wasn't any hope, because Jack had all the power and wasn't worried about getting off the island.

"Things are breaking up. I don’t understand why. We began well; we were happy." (

On the day Ralph joined Jack and his hunters on a hunting trip he got immersed into hunting and almost hurt Robert.

"Ralph entered into play and everybody laughed...Ralph too was fighting to get near. to get a handful of that brown, vulnerable flesh. The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering...'Just a game,' said Ralph uneasily. ' I got jolly badly hurt at rugger once.' P114-115

Ralph's goals on the island were to have everyone stay together, build huts, have the signal fire, and have food.
"There was a ship. Out there. You said you would keep the fire going and you let it out!" He took a step towards Jack who turned and faced him. "They might've seen us. We could've gone home--" (pg 70)

Ralph's role on the island is chief and is appointed by a voting of the other boys on the island

"Jack started to protest but the clamor changed from the general wish for a chief to an election by acclaim of Ralph himself." (Page 22)
