In the book The Lord of the Flies
Ralph is a natural born leader who is the more reputable of the two leaders.
He is in constant competition from Jack who wants to gain control over the group of
young boys. In addition, Ralph finds himself facing the savage behavior of Jack and his
followers.
I would start out with the Rolling Stones "I
Can't Get No Satisfaction." This song relates to Ralph because when he is first trying
to get everyone organized on the island, he can not get help to build the huts or anyone
to consistently keep the fire buring.
The next song would
be Creedence Clearwater Revival "Bad
Moon Rising." The reason is that bad things start to rise
out of Jack's corner of the island as Jack becomes the self-ordained leader. In
addition, Simon gets killed at the hands of the boys after they were dancing fanatically
around the fire.
The third song would be Bob Dylan's
"Blowin in the Wind. " "The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is
blowin in the wind."
By the time the military vessel
arrives to rescue Ralph the boy is in near shock. He can not even begin to tell what
had happened.
