Ralph--Beginning

When we first meet Ralph, Piggy confides in him that the only thing he cares about is that Ralph "doesn't" tell the others about his nickname.  

Watch the following clip.  What can you conclude about (1) what Ralph will do and (2) how Ralph thinks of Piggy?  Compare this with the section of Ralph at the end.  What has he learned about his feelings for Piggy?  

Read Golding's text and then see how the movie portrays Ralph.
