    One of the questions I always throw out to my class is which boy will have a tougher time returning to "normal" life: Ralph or Jack.  I think this is a better comparison than Wilfred simply because, as pointed out, Wilfred is such a minor character (really, an odd choice for comparison I think). 

    So who do you think would have it worse?  The boy who spent time hunting down another boy, or that boy who was hunted?  Certainly a difficult adjustment would be in store for both.
