The boys begin exploring the island. Ralph leads a pack of three around the island. It is clear that Ralph has emerged as the alpha-male of the group because all of the other boys seem to listen to him and do what he tells them to do. At first, Jack the choirboy seems very confrontational. He seems to take an aggressive stance against Ralph after Ralph has called all of the boys with the conch shell. This aggressive attitude eventually gives way to a submissive attitude when Jack goes along with what Ralph says. The other boy Simon is a very odd character. At first he seems quite melodramatic, but a little later in the novel he seems like a very quiet character who speaks only when spoken too. Piggy also begins to change as the story goes on. He seems withdrawn in the first few pages of the novel, but later in the novel, he seems to be outspoken and assertive.
