What are somethings Ralph begins to discover about himself?

I think that even as early as chapter two Ralph began to realise that everything wasn't simply going to be a matter of light a signal fire and have fun while they waited to get rescued. He was confronted at the second meeting by the reluctance of many of the other boys to accept his statement that there was no beast, even though logic indicated that the beast was just the overactive imaginings of a frightened child. There was also the admission of incompetence which he had to make when it came to lighting the fire, followed soon after by the realisation that the littlun who had first mentioned the snake-thing had probably been killed when the fire went out of control. Certainly by chapter three Ralph was dismissive about the plans made at the meetings when he was faced with the reality of building shelters with only the help of Simon. There are numerous incidences throughout the book which chronicle Ralph's growing disillusionment with the task of leadership and the reluctance on the part of the other boys to follow the rules which they themselves have agreed on.
