Ralph is one of main characters who has a strong leadership in the book. He is once a leader of all boys, blowing a conch, gathering scattered boys. The most emphatic thing that he always says is fire of signal because he thinks it's the only way to be rescued. But as several littluns and Roger start to obey Jack, they realize hunting is more important than making a fire. With the difference of thoughts, all boys in the island join Jack's group except only Ralph at last.
