Ralph is concerned with completing assigned tasks, following rules, keeping the signal fire burning, and limiting fire to the appropriate area.

At home things were decided by adults... overseen and organized. Not keeping the rules would have been met with punishment.

“We’re all drifting and things are going rotten. At home there was always a grown-up. Please, sir, please, miss; and then you got an answer. How I wish!”
