Some of what Ralph feels is pride, he has always wanted to
be a leader and in Chapter 2 he makes some decisions as the leader, telling Jack that
they will need to hunt but he will decide when that happens. He also starts to flesh
out the rules about who speaks when, he acts as an organizer and works out the dispute
from Piggy about how to work towards being found rather than just worrying about
surviving.
Then, when their fire rages out of control
because no one controls the size of it and one boy appears to have been burned to death,
Ralph is ashamed of the fact that he obviously wasn't a good enough leader to hold
things together and now his lack of leadership has led to a boy's
death.
