What are the boys, particularly Ralph, weeping for at the end? At the end, Ralph weeps and cries and mourns. It says in the book on page 202 that, “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy”. He is weeping because all he has ever know and loved is gone and replaced my savages and killers. |

He is weeping because all he has ever know and loved is gone and replaced my savages and killers. Ralph lost all the ones he cared for on the island. The fact that he lost Piggy, could resemble the fact that he has also lost some of his intelligence and knowledge. Piggy provided Ralph with knowledge and scientific evidence but was also a friend to Ralph, and that ps what Ralph is most upset about. |

I think that the fact that he was also a part of Simons killing would have made him cry. Now that they are leaving the island, he has the chance to forget about most of his experiences there but he will never forget about Simon and what the boys did to him. |

At the end of the novel when they are rescued Ralph weeps and cries becuase he has lost everyone that he had cared for on the island. Also the killing of simon may of made him cry bit now because he is leaving the island he does not need to be worried about being followed and killed by savages, so the crying could be a sigh of relief aswell |

He is weeping because all he has ever know and loved is gone and replaced my savages and killers. I think as he sees someone from a more civilised place, he realises that him along with all the other boys, had really turned into cold hearted savages, and even killed lovely people along the way. |

The boys, particularly Ralph, are weeping because they realise that all they have ever known when growing up in Britain has been replaced by savagery and when they are about to be rescued, they are also about to kill someone. They realise they will never be the same again after this experience. They also cry in relief too because they they are going back to the adult world and where they can be looked after and don't have to fend for their lives or try to escape being killed.

I think he is weeping because everyone the cared for is gone and he now has nothing. I agree that loosing piggy and simon, shows a part of ralph which is now gone as well |

What are the boys, particularly Ralph, weeping for at the end? At the end of the novel Ralph breaks down crying because he lost everyone he cared about on the island. The others probably wept at the sight of a real adult, something they had been both longing for and dreading. |

I agree with this and think that all these emotions were triggered in the boys by the sight of a real adult. |

Ralph breaks down as all the boys on the island had turned against him. The only two who would have stuck by him and been killed by Jack's group. Jack's group would have broken down at the sight of an adult upon them.

All the boys begin to weep as they see an alive adult on the island and after all theyve been through they will be going off back to Britain like it never happened. |
