Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Ralph is like a Golden Eagle - handsome, intelligent, and a leader!. He tries to maintain order and to lead the others until they are rescued!. Even after Jack forms a rival tribe, and leaves Ralph alone to fend for himself, he maintains courage and strength!. He is like a Rose Bush - beautiful (in looks and in spirit), while having thorns for protection (his will to survive and to help the others survive)!. Those thorns also represent his mistake of following the other boys when he joins in the eventual killing of Simon!. Blue - the color of royalty - to demonstrate his strength and leadership!. #12 - his age in the story!. His shape would be a wave (~~~~) heading for shore (rescue) but not a simple, straight path!. Representing his trials and mistakes and learning throughout the story, but eventually getting rescued!. He is a diamond in the rough! He is the Earth - Ralph represents a safe, motherly figure - he cares for the boys, suggests they build shelter, he is the moral and intellectual home!. When the other boys revert to a savage behavior, Ralph maintains his own identity, and when the rescue ship shows up the other boys revert back to Ralph's more civil way of behaving (they lose their savagery)!. I hope this helps!. Good luck with your assignment!Www@QuestionHome@Com Are you doing a Mandala!?
