Final Journal Chapter 12 Questions

     I was expecting a much more brutal ending. One where Ralph manages to kill everyone attempting to hunt him. Perhaps one where Jack and Ralph finally fight one on one. In the end, they get rescued, which is what primarily occurred. I suppose that Ralph cried in the end because he realized how much he had accomplished. Especially as such a young age. He fought for his survival and earned it. I despise Jack the most mainly because he was the hardheaded one of the group who only cared about power in the island. I know for a fact that if I were in an island with him, I wouldn't want to be anywhere around him or even look at him. I would recommend this novel to a friend because it carries a strong message, in my opinion. I remember reading it in 7th grade and getting the feeling of realization on human nature. The fact that anyone can turn into a savage if separated from society for too long.
