Leadership In Lord Of The Flies

After that they elect Ralph as chief and Ralph let’s Jack have his choir and he let them do whatever they wanted to do and it was being hunters. Jack thinks he should be a leader because he can sing, but to be a leader you need to know how to lead people into the right path. Ralph didn’t say anything about wanting to be chief because he wanted the people to decide things and not be selfish and take the power all for himself. Ralph and Jack from the beginning didn't agree on who's going to be the chief because they both want to lead the group in their own separate way. Jack is trying to be a leader but the boys chose Ralph over Jack because they thought Ralph was fit to be the chief. Jack starts rebelling against Ralph and he starts saying that Ralph is a coward and isn't fit to be the chief. “Who thinks Ralph oughtn’t to be chief?” He looked expectantly at the boys ranged around, who had frozen. Under the palms there was deadly silence.“Hands up?” said Jack strongly, “whoever wants Ralph not to be chief?”The silence continued, breathless and heavy and full of shame. Slowly the red drained from Jack’s cheeks, then came back with a painful rush. He licked his lips and turned his head at an angle, so that his gaze avoided the embarrassment of linking with another’s eye. “How many think –” His voice trailed off. The hands that held the conch shook. He cleared his throat, and spoke loudly. “All right then.”He laid the conch with great care in the grass at his feet. The humiliating tears were running from the corner of each eye.“I’m not going to play any longer. Not with you.” (pg. 127) Jack leaves, but Ralph doesn't follow thinking that Jack will come back. Jack got tired of following Ralph and wants to show his true side because his nature is savagery while Ralph’s nature is civilization. The two boys can’t be in the same group because two leaders from different sides cannot work together, so Jack takes the first step by leaving

Ralph and Jack are both powerful and meaningful characters in William Golding's novel, Lord of the Flies.  Ralph is an excellent leader; responsible, and stands for all that is good.  Jack is a destructive hunter, selfish, and represents evil.  These two main characters can be compared by the actions they take as leaders, their personalities, and what they symbolize in the story.

A true leader is a person who takes initiative and does what is needed to lead a group of people. If they need to, they will make any sacrifices, take the ability to take control and charge of a group. Ralph displays initiative and leadership in the book, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding, by leading the innocent group of kids to survival.

In society, there are often people who acquire strong leadership qualities and understand what it means to be a favorable leader. Other times, there are people who have strong qualities to lead, but they do not understand how to be a favorable leader and create a safe and comfortable environment for those following them. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the characters of Ralph and Jack arise as two different leaders who bear strong characteristics and they both seek power on the island. The boys become leaders in their own ways, creating individual environments that prioritize different matters, all while trying to work towards their rescue off the island.

Leadership takes notice, responsibility, self-development, and experience. Thoughts pop up when one thinks of a leader, perhaps a captain of a team, the president, maybe even the bigger brother. These people are mostly responsible and developed, they take notice into what is happening in any situation, but the experience is where a leader and a follower have things in common in most situations. Lord of the Flies is a book where children are trapped on a deserted island and have to create their own small world. Jack is one of the chosen leaders in the book, he came with most of the children from the plane crash. They soon meet Ralph, who is another chosen leader throughout the book. So called “leaders” in the book are very important characters

Humans are a sophisticated and advanced race, one which possess the ability to affect their environment, and one another, in significant and often destructive ways. War is a catastrophic event created by humans, who upon creating it neglect to comprehend its far-reaching effects. The novel, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, places a group of prepubescent males into one of these situations. After an evacuation aircraft crash-lands, the boys are left upon a deserted island to manage and fend for themselves. As Golding details the trials and tribulations of the young men on the island, it becomes increasingly apparent that the children respect authority and require an organized leadership. The failure to manifest such a system will result in a de-evolution into savagery.

The boys don’t want to be told what to do. This is not only true in the book but is a simple fact of adolescence. For example, the American Academy of Pediatrics states that, “From time to time most children defy the wishes of their parents. This is a part of growing up and testing adult guidelines and expectations. It is one way for children to learn about and discover their own selves, express their individuality, and achieve a sense of autonomy.” (American Academy of Pediatrics) The same goes for Lord of the Flies. The reader can think of Ralph as the parent who has the best interest for his son/daughter and Jack as his/her’s disobedient troubled friend. In Lord of the Flies the boys are at a stage where the disobedient troubled friend has a significant pull compared to the knowledgeable parent. The friend’s opinion can trump the parent’s in real life and does in Lord of the Flies when in chapter 8 some boys leave Ralph for Jack. This is concerning and is one of the main conflicts in Lord of the Flies. The loss of leadership was inevitable for Ralph because the boys are at a point in their life where they cannot exercise good judgement. For example, Jack is over the moon telling Ralph and the boys about how he killed a pig. Ralph who has better judgement has to remind Jack and say, “There was a ship-” (Golding, 75) This shows that Jack and the hunters do not have a good sense of judgement because they don’t do the most

Lord of the Flies is a dystopian novel by William Golding and published in 1951, shortly after the end of World War II. The novel follows the ventures of a group of British boys stranded on an island and seeks to address the root cause of the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. In Lord of the Flies, Ralph represents order and civilized society, while Jack represents Hitler and his fascist regime. Ralph’s shortfall lies in his myopic point of view, developed by his father’s influence. His lack of foresight in his leadership role results in the neglect of critical responsibilities, poor decision-making and a weak society, which then allows for the rise of Jack’s fascist regime.

Many people consider themselves a good leader, but that is not always the case. In the book, Lord of the Flies, there are two types of “leaders”. Throughout the story, there is a clash between the two types of leaders. Ralph, the original leader, is overthrown by Jack, a savage tyrant. If Ralph was a better leader, Jack may not have taken over.Some traits of a good leader that Ralph lacks are optimism, confidence, and awareness. Ralph would have been a better leader by keeping the boys busy and focused, being open to new ideas, and enforcing his rules.

In the novel “Lord of the Flies”, written by William golding, is about a group of boys that crash land on an unknown island and have to survive. Two boys, Jack and Ralph, are shown to be leaders, both with their own ways of leading. Ralph is a better leader than jack, because he shows traits of being selfless, democratic, and fair.

What makes one country greater than another is their government. The form of government being used, and how it is being regulated can leave a grand impact on the overall status of the country. When governments fail, it is often tied to flawed leaders, and the country takes gradual steps towards savagery. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies features an example of a flawed government structure and the impact on its people. The stigmatized government structure is the initial reason why the boys in Lord of the Flies turn to savagery.

In the book “Lord of the flies” by William Golding there is a group of boys that have crash landed on this island. But, majority of the boys don’t know each other. When the boys meet they pick a leader by voting and a boy named Ralph was selected. Ralph was one of the nice kids and never mean and treated all the kids fair. When he was selected a boy name Jack was upset because he had thought that he should become leader. “Im chief then” (23). When Ralph said this Jack felt like nobody liked him only the choir boys did but he ended up being the leader of them by being in charge and making them hunters. Jack was a type of leader that did not think much he would think of one idea then go do it he never plans nothing out. But Ralph thinks

Now it’s time to discuss a few of the characters of Lord of the Flies, and why they fall into these leadership tropes. Many would contest that Ralph is a good leader. He demonstrates the ability to be charismatic. He is also well spoken, and has a good public opinion. He is able to remain calm, despite the predicament they are in, and make strong, well-rounded decisions that benefit the entire group of boys on the island. For these reasons, I believe that Ralph would have also been the most effective leader in society as well.

Being a single ruler can be tough, especially when it comes down to making rugged decisions. Many rulers do not care what its peers think but, others have companions that work together and they share their opinions and understand each side to a decision. When a ruler is just by his or her self they only comprehend their opinions and do not care what the others may think. In the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, it shows what it is like for two leaders to work together and to be separated. In the book the two leaders were Jack a ruthless dictator whom only put his focus on hunting and Ralph who went by the rules he and the tribe made and focused not just on food, but shelters and all the resources a human needs in order to survive.

The theme of leadership is uncovered by the symbol of the conch. As the connection grows between the protagonist and the conch, outer forces break the bond in attempt to take the position as leader. Ralph along with other boys in Lord of the Flies by William Golding are trapped on an island due to the crash of their airplane. With no adults on the island to discipline the boys, one must step up and take on this role. The discovery of the conch encourages Ralph to become chief, Ralph has the ability to use the conch to enforce his rules, but the unfortunate shattering of the conch breaks Ralphs hold on to leadership.
