Ralph is the leader of the boys on the island. He built the most of the hut, and tries and come up with ideas for their survival on the island. I predict that Ralph will be able to survive well in the wilderness because of his ablility to think about life in the long run on the island and the boys' survival, unlike the other savage kids. Jack is very savage and wild. Because of his more instinctual behavior, he will be happy and may endure on the island in the beginning, but when like gets difficult and rough, he will most likely become frightened and get into trouble. Simon is the kindest of all the boys. He respects everyone and is one of the only ones who actually works and builds the hut. Simon, I predict, will carry on well on account of the fact that if he is in trouble, the boys will want to help him because he helped and cared for them. Maurice seems to have a strong conscience; he still messes with the "littluns", though. I do not predict positive results for Maurice, because although he may feel guilt, it does not change the fact that he bothered the littluns, and even kicked sand into one of their faces. Piggy is the smartest and rational of all the boys. He has the most common sense, but is not respected because of his weight. I predict that Piggy will stay alive on the island because of his common sense and intellect, despite being unwelcomed by the other boys. Finally, the twins, "Samneric", remain close with Ralph, and are always together. As long as they stay with their leader, Ralph, they will be okay due to them following instructions and sticking together.

I liked what you had to say, my only question is from this statement: "Jack is very savage and wild. Because of his more instinctual behavior, he will be happy and may endure on the island in the beginning,but when like gets difficult and rough, he will most likely become frightened and get into trouble."
I understand that when times get tough he will start acting unlike himself, but the way its worded it sounds like him in particualar is going to act unusally. Wouldn't he be one of the last ones to resent the primitive environment because he's a more savage type character.
