Ralph+Wiggum



__Elisabeth Nygård Floa__


 * Ralph is an 8 year old boy in 2nd grade at Springfield elementary school. He goes in the same class as Lisa Simpson. He is known as the tubby and the short little boy, who often comes with simple and stupid comments. He is kind of underdeveloped, socially weak and is incapable to learn anything. He lives in his own world, with his imaginary friends and simply doesn’t know any better. He is often bullied by the other kids in Springfield. **
 * Ralph Wiggum is mostly known for always putting his finger in his nose, and putting things like, glue, paint and earthworms in his mouth. He’s the son of Clancy Wiggum, the police chief in Springfield. They have a good relationship, and Clancy seems to adore his son. Ralph has a big imagination and is a cheerful boy, but however there is something tragic about him. He is the odd one of the children and nobody really wants to be with him. He once fell in love with Lisa, but when she rejects him in front of the other children, Ralph is left humiliated and devastated.**
 * He is always a bit naïve and stupid, but in some of the episodes he surprises everybody when he says things that may not be so stupid after all. It’s been said that maybe he’s just misunderstood, and inside is very clever. Like in the episode “E. pluribus Wiggum”, he is by a mistake voted as the president of Springfield. In the episode he surprises everybody, when he makes a speech about what he will fight for in Springfield. But after all, he ends his speech by putting his finger in his nose and says, “I’m Ralph Wiggum and I have been a good boy”. The episodes also shows that he has several talents, like tap dance, and he also played George Washington in a school play where he played the role so good that he brought the audience to tears.**
 * Ralph Wiggum is an important character in “The Simpson’s”, and has gotten a lot of fans. It’s actually been made a song about him of the well known American band, The Bloodhound Gang. The song is quotes that Ralph has said in “The Simpson’s”. He is also one of the characters that really put a smile on your face, and “the Simpson’s” really wouldn’t be so funny without him. Ralph is good-hearted and generally well-meaning boy, and he is not mean or cruel to anybody in Springfield. But they all know that he’s not the smartest boy, and can sometimes be a bit cruel to him. Like when the teacher says to him in class,” The children are right to laugh at you, Ralph”.**
