he decides whether evil prevails over good or otherwise. In the novel, Lord of the Flies, Golding writes about a group of British military boys who are marooned in a strange island and they decide on how to get rescue.

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding the different views and beliefs of Ralph and Jack and the need for power in both boys’ segregates the group and

Ralph is one of the only boys that can sort out his needs and wants. For example, Ralph values rescue over the hunting and killing of pigs. As Jack talks about hunting on the island, Ralph comments,

The most prominent theme of Lord of the Flies is the struggle of how easily it is to counteract the rules constructed by mankind, resulting in chaos. Throughout the book, the conflict is pronounced by the friction between Ralph, who epitomizes civilization, and Jack who epitomizes savagery. The two contradicting principles indicate how the boys view authority. Ralph uses his influence to provide rules, preserve the good of the boys, and

A good leader is someone who cares about everyone. They are loyal, and listens to everyone’s ideas. They are smart, strong, and can make tough decisions. A good leader could fight, but a better leader can choose not to. In the Lord of the Flies, a novel by William Golding, is about a boy named Ralph who wanted to get rescued and made leadership choices based on that, but another boy named Jack who prevented rescue by splitting the group up and turning survival into a game. Ralph and Jack were meant to be in the same novel because Golding wanted to show how the wrong leadership can go wrong, and on what leader you follow can be an effect on how you survive.

The quote “They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling, unable to communicate.” (Golding, 56) symbolizes an abundance about the situation between Ralph and Jack. In this case, the continents represent the constant leadership of Ralph and Jack because even though continents can shift and change they are always there to fall back on, not unlike the two boys. To clarify, since the beginning of the novel Ralph and Jack have been the leaders that the group of boys rely on.

In the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, there are two characters that stand out from the rest in comparison to the other characters. Like actual people, they have their similarities and differences, but this intends for the reader reasons to like either one of the other. Ralph and Jack are used in argument to represent either nature or nurture with Ralph representing nurture and Jack representing the latter. However, this does not signify that they represent one and not share any characteristics with the other. Even though Jack seems to be relying on primal instincts as the story goes on, he still shows signs of being influenced by knowledge he has gained in the duration of his life.

Since the beginning, Ralph’s main goal is to be rescued as soon as possible while trying to set up a form of democracy. On the contrary, Jack prefers to hunt and be in charge like a dictator. Although Jack is convinced that his actions are right, the readers can detect how sick he is becoming as the book progresses. Jack is hungry for authority which leads him to try to eliminate anyone who questions it including Ralph. When Ralph confronts the tribe and asks, “which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up” (page 180), Roger murders Piggy and the conch is broken . Instead of checking on Piggy, Jack makes the statement that, “there isn’t a tribe for you anymore! the conch is gone--” (page 181). The conch represents order and peace and with it broken, the civilization that Ralph was trying to build becomes nonexistent, replacing that is a group of savage boys. When Ralph meets the twins in the forest, they tell him “they’re going to hunt you tomorrow” (page 188) showing that Jack is no longer thinking of the consequences of his actions. During a time where the boys must work together, they broke off and some becomes savages. Jack embodies true wickedness, showing that he is capable of dire acts without the presence of a supernatural force. His actions are his

Which of chapter of lord of the flies is the greatest? The gory adjectives and use of well-written descriptions have their appeal. But these tasteless digressions distract us from asking the real question—are governments systems flawed, or is it the officials in charge? Golding shows the misuse of government power through the various governmental systems used by the characters. In the beginning of the book, during an unnamed war, a plane full of young boys is shot down, crashing on a deserted island. However, many of the boys survive, finding themselves alone without any parental or adult supervision. Two of the older boys, Jack and Ralph, take leadership roles, both with their own sense of control, Jack with a totalitarian regime and Ralph

The conflict between Ralph and Jack shows how lack of civilization can result to savagery. Ralph states, “We need shelters” contrasting to Jack who says, “We need meat” (Golding, p.42). The lack of civilization in Jack shows because he thinks hunting is more important than shelters although he has yet to catch a pig, while on the other hand Ralph thinks it’s more important to build shelter for a sense of home and protection from the rain and the beastie that all the littluns are afraid of. “Let him be chief with the trumpet-thing”(Golding, p. 15). This quote states that Ralph should be in charge because he has the conch, and Jack gets upset since he is not voted chief but then Ralph puts him charge of the choir boys who later on become the hunters. Ralph creates civilization when he is given power to become the chief on the island, and he has the power with or without the conch. Later in the novel when Ralph realizes he doesn’t like being dirty and “disliked perpetually flicking the tangled hair put of his eyes,” it shows that Ralph is used the civilization he had before and wants to return to that civilization (Golding, p.66). Then Jack becomes an example of savagery when he shows up to the fire in chapter 8, “stark naked save for the paint and a belt” (Golding, p.125). Ralph and his followers show the civilized and orderly side of the island, but on the contrary, Jack and his tribe show the savagery of man and barbaric side of the island.

In Lord of the Flies several conflicts transpire throughout the story. However, Golding presents Man vs. Man as the most powerful conflict. In particular, the two main characters that constantly fight against each other are Ralph and Jack. Being named chief, Ralph’s superiority to the group of boys, Jack does not agree with. In comparison to Ralph, Jack’s argument of his leadership and strength, gives him more power than Ralph. Nonetheless, Ralph decided it was time to take control and not let Jack attempt to rule over him.

Great leaders always value civilization and safety over any aspect of a civilized society. Lord of the Flies is a novel by William Golding. It is about a group of British school boys becoming deserted on an uninhabited island. After numerous deaths because of some of the boys’ savagery, they are finally saved by a British naval officer who saw the island burning down. As shown, a fire is vital for rescue; Ralph’s main objective is to get rescued and keep the rescue fire going while to others it is not. While the boys are on the island, they will need shelter to stay safe from possible weather extremities and possibly dangerous animals. Therefore, Ralph is the better leader for the boys rather than Jack.
