I need help writing a letter that Ralph from Lord of the Flies would write. The assignment is to write a letter by Ralph begging for help.

If you are going to write a letter the way that Ralph would write it, you should probably consider the style you would write it in. Obviously Ralph is an educated young man and has a great deal of respect for authority so he would likely write in a respectful fashion and maybe even somewhat formal.


You should also be sure to consider the things that are important to Ralph and the things that worry him about their situation that he might include in the letter. He is very concerned that the boys cannot get organized and they fail to keep the fire going, fail to build strong shelters, etc. These are all things that he might cite as reasons as to why they need to be rescued quickly.


And, depending on how much of the book you've read, you could also include some of the things that Ralph would obviously be concerned about as things get worse, the disappearance and likely death of the boy with the mulberry colored birth mark or the murder of Simon.
