After his original jubilance over being on Coral Island and free to enjoy the pleasures of the island on which the plane has crashed without restrictions of clothing, bathing, parents and rules, Ralph realizes that the island will only be paradise for a while.

After they hold a discussion of what is on the island and what they can do, Ralph says,

With this having been said, the boys look for branches to burn and work on the building of a fire.
