#1 The Main Characters of the novel

There are Ralph, Jack, and Piggy, Roger, Sam and Eric, Simon and other kids who are trapped in an Island. Each of them has different characteristics which made each other distinguish clearly.
Ralph, who the chief of these children group, had a smart thinking and hold fasten the rational of mind instead of the animal inside of him. He cared others and contemplated for all kids in the island. I admire Ralph for his leadership. There were many times when difficult problems occured, but Ralph tried his best not only for himself but also for kids. If I were Ralph I would try to join the tribe and just blend in even though that would make me extremely uncomfortable.
In contrast, Jack has full of ambition and violence. He also wanted authority and controlled over these kids. He was so jealous when Ralph became the chief that later he made his own tribe. I believe Jack’s greed made this whole conflict. I know that if he did not make any collide, there would be someone who would start a conflict, but since Jack did it, I’m blaming Jack. If he yield his thought and did not lose his rational mind, I believe it would not be this chaos. Furthermore, there are no people who had a great characteristic as Jack to tackle Ralph.
Piggy was I believe the most adult-like kid in the island. He helped Ralph when Ralph was scared and discouraged. However, one of the reasons he helped Ralph was for his own benefit. He was weak and was scared of Jack. Everybody except Ralph ignored him. Tell the truth, I also was annoyed with Piggy like the others sometimes. I believe the reason Ralph and Piggy was different was because of the way of acting. Ralph had charisma that controlled the kids. Piggy had a same mind with Ralph, but his cowardliness made him get ignored.
Roger was a boy whose personality turned entirely in the book . Out of this book, I did not like Roger the most felt hopeless for him. He was obedient to his leader but when his animal instinct came out, he became more brutal than Jack and he was the one who kills. I astonished of Roger. I had no solution for him.
Sam and Eric are twins. I like the twins most for their loyalty to Ralph and I was able to feel they are kids instead of animals. They were great help to Ralph and were the only kids that supported him. I felt sorry when they had to be part of tribe they were just kids that wanted be rescued.
Simon was the enigma in the book. Also, he was a coward between kids, but courageous in things that frightened other kids. He was the first one who realized their animal instincts and tries to inform it but ends sadly. Simon had potential inside him but could not express it. I thought when he came out crawling, why could not he just stand up and say “I’m Simon” before kids came attacking him?
The other kids were the general people who were easily moved by certain events. It seemed that they were representing people in general who has no specific characteristics like above characters.
