Where does Ralph decide to hide? What does this hiding place symbolize? Initially, Ralph decides to hide in thicket and then a mat underneath a tangle of creepers where no sunlight could get to. Both of these places were surrounded by undergrowth and creepers which could represent the arms of civilisation and the rules of society holding and sheltering him from the savageness of Jack and the tribe. Ralph is protected by the canopy of the forest which represents the difference between being able to grow and be civilised and descending into savagery. |

He also chooses a place where he cannot be easily found and where he can be untouched by the savage nature of the boys. The thicket and tangle of creepers both provide him shelter and protection from natural problems or Jack and his hunters. |

Ralph decided to hide in a thicket and undergrowth, where it would be difficult to find him. He may have felt safe and away from all the savagery, as if the civilisation is protecting him. |

I like the way you have symbolised the creepers and undergrowth with the rules of society and civilisation. I agree with you and I think it is a very good point made. |

Ralph is protected by the canopy of the forest which represents the difference between being able to grow and be civilised and descending into savagery. He is surrounded by life and is using it to blend and receive protection from it. The location reminds me of where Simon used to go. Ralph is using the place now to survive rather than admire it. If the other boys had know more about the jungle, they could have made better plans to find Ralph. |

Ralph feels safe here, as these creepers protect him, unlike the barren landscape at Castle Rock. |

I think that Ralph hiding within nature kind of symbolises that Simon is protecting him, as Simon represented goodness and he was the one that appreciated nature. |

Where does Ralph decide to hide? What does this hiding place symbolize? Ralph decides to hide in this place s it is a place that has been not been touched by the savage boys. A shelter from the uncivilized island surrounding him. This could represents the little civilization left on the island. Protecting him from the other boys that have so quickly descended into savagery. He is alone hidden by the thicket, safe in his own more civilized company. |

I like your idea here Linda, Simon does represent that sense of protection and goodness. Maybe Ralph will now understand why Simon enjoyed his own company in the jungle. |
