What are the characteristics that Ralph has in chapter 1 in Lord of the Flies?

At first, Ralph just wants to have fun like all the other boys. Free from adult supervision, he sees a great opportunity to have a good time. But after the initial rush of excitement has worn off, he realizes that there's work to be done. Ralph's a very sensible, level-headed young man and knows that the boys need to knuckle down and do the hard practical work necessary to survive on this remote desert island.
To that end, Ralph tries to establish some semblance of order. He doesn't want to be in charge, but when he finds the role of leader thrust upon him, he takes his new responsibilities very seriously indeed. He sets about allocating various vital tasks to the other boys such as hunting and building shelters. Unfortunately, most of the other boys are too busy having fun to do what they're supposed to, and only Simon helps Ralph with the task of building huts on the beach. It's only the first chapter, yet already signs of a breach between Ralph and the other boys are starting to emerge.
