Focus 11

In Chapter 11, Ralph has to be fully trusted by Piggy because of Piggy's loss of sight. He proves his ultimate devotion and loyalty to Piggy as he says, "you kneel down and wait till I come back."  This promise to Piggy shows Ralph self imposed responsibility to him, as well as his confidence that he can get himself and Piggy out of this situation alive.  In telling Piggy this white lie; Ralph shows that he still has a heart and a connection to friendship and loyalty, two very civil ideas. 

In my favorite part of the chapter, personally, when Ralph and Jack fight; Ralph demonstrates that he actually has some grit and can get dirty.  As Ralph screams at Jack and charges him, "You're a beast and a swine and a bloody, bloody thief!" The battle cry solidifies that the tribe can't be reunited as it was before. The two sides are done with each other. Ralph was trying to make the visit become a reunion and trying to keep some form of connection with Jack's group.   But, he ends losing all his tribe members to Jack and is now fending for himself.
