Relationships: LOTF Chp. 2

          Ralph and Jack seem to be creating a bond over very simple things. These two boys both have leadership traits, with Ralph having just become chief and Jack having been the head of the Choir. During this chapter as they gather wood for a fire they find themselves helping one another, sharing the “burden”, which could also stand for all the children that they will now have to watch over on this island.       
        The word “together” is used quite often in this passage and is describes just how close the two boys feel, sharing in he adventures of this island. I think that these two boys will want to become good friends, but if one becomes jealous of the other things could end badly. Also in this chapter we notice that both Jack and Piggy appreciate Ralph becoming leader as they clap for him. This shows that both admire him and want to support him and maybe even help him run the island.
