Ralph
He is a fair haired boy. His hair is brown. He is short
and muscular. Ralph is twelve years old. When he crashes he is
wearing a shirt, pants, stockings, and a sweater. Ralph takes off his
stockings and sweater and as the book progresses his clothing gets
more torn and rattier.
Ralph is a natural born leader. He is charismatic and
can gain the trust of the boys quite easy. He knows what needs to
be done in order for them to survive and possibly get rescued. He has
a rivalry with another boy named Jack who is a lot like Ralph but not
as charismatic. He is not the only brains behind the operation so he
doesn't think of the little things or how to get to the big things
that he wants. He is the protagonist.
Piggy
Piggy is a short boy. He is quite plump and he got the
name piggy from his home because of his weight and he told Ralph
about it as long as he promised not to tell anybody. Even though
Ralph promised not to tell anybody his nickname, not too much later
in the book he told people the nickname. In the book you don't find
out piggy's real name.
Piggy is more of the brains behind the operation. He
thinks out the details. Piggy is not charismatic in the least bit.
Nobody takes piggy seriously so nobody listens to him. Everybody is
rude to him and they never care about what he has to say. When he has
an idea most of the time he tells it to Ralph because he is the more
charismatic of the two. His role is the thinker.
