53A I have never seen this interpretation of Ralph, either. However, at the end of his audiobook, William Golding says that what a book is about isn’t necessarily what the author put into it or what the teacher says it is. The “right” interpretation is what the engaged reader gets from it. My students love to hear this.

At first, I put just an ei or an ie in each rebus because I thought the theme was "turn-around" (one-eighty) or "wrong direction" (West Indies) for one clue in each cross. Of course, that didn't fit the other clues. Oh, well. I am fairly new to rebus constructions, but I do enjoy the challenges.
