Ralph

Ralph is the protagonist in The Lord of the Flies. In the beginning of the book he finds a conch and blows it, calling all of the boys to him and they vote for him to be the leader of their group. He tries to keep them as civilized as possible, even though there were no grown ups with them on the island. Ralph wants to do everything he can to get rescued, trying to do whatever he can to keep a fire going as a smoke signal in case a ship goes by the island or a plane flies over. Even with how long they've been on the island, Ralph continues to not fall victim to the savagery all of the other boys have fallen to.
