Ralph notices that the boys are not doing their assigned jobs and they are just out playing in the water and on the beach. Simon and Jack tell ralph that it is his job to take control over the boys and its his job to get them back on track doing their assigned jobs, He decides to leave it and do nothing. I believe Ralph is gettin fed up with controlling the younger ones, which may lead to the group turning on each other. |

Ralph appears to be becoming disillusioned with the organisation on the island. How is this shown? (p.64)f Ralph mentions how the boys are all off playing in the water and on the beaches, not doing their assigned jobs. He doesn't seem to have much control over them, as they appear to only do their tasks for five minutes before wandering off. When mentioning this to Simon and Jack, they tell him that he's the chief and it's his job to get them back on task, but he chooses not to. I agree with this, Ralph seems to be neglecting his position as leader and doesn't really exercise any authority over the other boys. This may be because he doesn't want to upset or anger any of the others. |

Ralph appears to be becoming disillusioned with the organisation on the island. How is this shown? (p.64) Ralph is beginning to notice how the boys are not focused and determined to complete their given tasks. He asks the boys to help him build shelters, but they only work for five minutes before wandering off to do their own thing. This is very frustrating to Ralph as he is left with only simon to help him to build shelters for everyone. He tries to keep the boys from slacking off, but it doesn't work very well And the boys still leave. |

Ralph mentions to Jack and Simon that it is becoming increasingy difficult to keep the boys in order, as they do their job for 5 minutes and then become sidetracked. They tell Ralph that he is the chief, and if h wants to fix the job he will have to do it himself, which he decides not to. Ralph is not acknowledging the fact that he needs to step up, he needs to lead the boys the way children need to be led, he needs to come to their level. |

Ralph seems to be very fed up and annoyed with the organization of the island and it's people. We can see when Ralph speaks about the hopelessness of the huts and the amount of time that most people are putting in, he is not confident of the future. He misses the first days when they landed because he had nothing to worry about and could go exploring. Now he has to suffer as being chief to support the other boys' lives. He is also aware of how the beastie is still thought of in the younger boys' minds, which is discomforting for Ralph. The organisation is so poor, that anysign of rescue or order in the group is barely seen. Without being organized or motivated, the boys will find it hard to make any advancements.

Ralph appears to be becoming disillusioned with the organisation on the island. How is this shown? (p.64) Ralph is starting to realise that life on the island isn't as organised as he'd hoped it to be. He mentions that none of the boys, apart from Simon, would help him build shelters because they became disinterested in work only five minutes after they'd started. He's also starting to become irritated from this lack of help, which could show that he's starting to realise that things aren't going to be good for the boys if they don't work on the shelters. |

Simon and Jack tell ralph that it is his job to take control over the boys and its his job to get them back on track doing their assigned jobs, He decides to leave it and do nothing. Also, the boys talk about doing things in the meetings, and they are excited and enthusiastic, but when the meetings end they don't try to help. |

Ralph appears to be becoming disillusioned with the organisation on the island. How is this shown? (p.64) Ralph seems to be loosing his control over the boys and this is shown when they aren't doing their assigned jobs. They boys will work for 5 minutes, then go off and find something more fun and enjoyable to do instead and Ralph can't seem to motivate them to do what he wants. |
