Character Sketches



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.
