While he did temporarily lose some of his civility during the killing of Simon, Ralph prides himself with being a civil person. However, at the end of the novel, while running from the boys, Ralph loses all of his civility. While Ralph is running from the boys who are trying to kill him, he has to think and act like a wild pig to try to escape the boys.

Therefore, this lesson is the most significant lesson Ralph learned in this…

In the afternoon, the entire school is called to the auditorium, and are presented with an unscripted, straight-from-the-heart presentation from the staff. This year, the theme was “Home”. A former Wahconah graduate who entered the marines gave a speech about the value of home to him and the results of a staff interview as to “Why Wahconah is Home to Me” was presented, among other things. While there were…
