Interview with Ralph

Me: When you crashed on the island, were you scared, did you think you were going to get off the island right away or did you think you might not get off the island?

Ralph:

When I first got on the island, I didn't know where I was or how big the island was, all I could think about was when my dad would come rescue us. At first I thought that my dad would know where we were and be able to rescue us right away. As the days went by, I started to wondering how we were going to survive until he comes. We needed shelter from the rain, food to eat and a leader to lead us and make us feel safe until we got home.

Me: Why do you think they chose you to be leader?

Ralph: Maybe they thought it was because of the shell or maybe because I was the one who blew the conch and got everyone together and I was the one who started to talk about what we needed to do to survive until we would be rescued off the island.

 

Me: Why do you think Jack wouldn't be a good leader?

Ralph: Is all Jack cared about was hunting and killing pigs. He never cared about anyones feelings or thoughts, especially the little ones fears. If Jack was leader we would have food but we would never be rescued because he was once supposed to keep the signal fire smoking but instead he discide to do what he wanted to do, and when the signal fire was out, a ship passed by and if it was going we probably would have been rescued. 

Me: Why were you so mad when Jack went to go hunting instead of keeping the signal fire going?

Ralph: I was so mad at Jack that day, I told him to make sure the fire was going at all times and he instead went hunting because he felt like it eventhough being rescued is the most important thing. He never thought about anyone else only him self and what he wanted to do. Hunting is important and even I felt the thrill of what it's like to hunt a pig but we need to also think of what is REALLY important, being rescued.
