Compare Ralph's treatment of the littluns with Jack's.

• Ralph tries to calm their fears and give them a sense of security. Jack intimidates and frightens them.

• Ralph treats them harshly, thinking it is for their own good. Jack protects them and makes sure they have enough to eat.

• Ralph is kind and understanding. Jack fears the littluns will like Ralph better, so he tries to win them by being kinder than Ralph, although it is a false kindness.

• Neither Ralph nor Jack have much experience with younger children. They soon tire of the littluns' immaturity and ignore them.
