Imagine a bunch of young boys get stranded on an island, with no parental supervision. In the book (Lord of the Flies by William Golding) the story takes place on an unnamed uninhabited tropical island in the Pacific ocean.

Ralph would stop younger kids from getting bullied and would make activities to pass the time.

Ralph wanted a more safe and civilized society which would benefit everyone in the end instead they went with Jack which caused violence that could kill them
