Blog Post #6 - The Hero of My Book

Lord of the Flies by William Golding

          The hero in this story is most definitely Ralph. After he arrives at the village, he immediately gives his opinions and his advice to help the boys escape the island. He is always helping out, showing caring, perseverance, and determination. He helps hunt pigs, lights the fires, and gets the other boys through their time on the island.
           Ralph exhibits caring, courage, bravery, perseverance, determination. All key character traits of a hero.

"I suppose," said Ralph. "if we keep on by the sea this way, we'll come out below the burnt bit and then we can climb the mountain." Lord of the Flies, Page 116

          This quote shows that Ralph has leadership, and he is guiding the boys to safety and prosperity.
