"Lord of the Flies" Chapter 5 Question

“He found himself understanding the wearisome of life, where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one’s waking life was spent looking at one’s feet.” - Ralph

The quote basically means that the boringness if life is when you make a new decision, take a new path. You have to keep looking down at your foot so you don't fall and make sure you stay on the same path, the right path. I agree with the quote, because nobody, no human can keep walking and not falling without looking down at the path. Also when you are doing something, sometimes you have to review what are you doing to stay on track to reach your goal not wasting time on useless things. So before we start doing something, we'll have to overview what are we doing, what's our goal, the steps to reach the goal. When we are doing something, we have to stay with our steps and goal, even if something happens unexpectedly, our goal should stay the same. For Ralph, he is now in a pretty bad situation, people are turning on him, not listening to him. So now he can't just give up on his leadership, he'll have to stick with his goal, like I said above, even if anything unexpectedly happens, we have to stick with our goal, which for him is now maintaining order, stopping the arguments and finding a way to work together. I wish Ralph will stay with his goal and not give up!
