Lord of the Flies
At this point in the novel, Ralph isn't left with a lot of options. Piggy's glasses are gone, and he needs them to see. Jack is running helter-skelter, but he might still be made to see reason. Ralph is speaking to the boys they were and hoping for what we might see as a miracle.... but the island isn't really a game, and he still has hopes of being rescued.
