In the novel Lord of the Flies, there are various types of leaderships evident. Ralph and Jack are two of the main characters in the book, who both show a great sense of leadership on the island and towards the boys. Ralph being a democratic leadership, and Jack being a dictatorial leadership. First the fact that Ralph was a democratic leader will be discussed and proven with evidence.
In the Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, a group of British boys are stranded on an uninhabited island and try to govern themselves. The leader of the group is Ralph, the main representative of order, civilization, and productive leadership. Ralph exhibits the traits of an excellent leader throughout the novel by being kind, responsible, and determined. Because of the aforementioned traits, the boys feel safe and even hopeful about being rescued.
In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, there is limited leadership which soon converts to commotion. Golding portrays the characteristics of what a leader must have through Ralph. Ralph shows courage by speaking in front of others even when he knows they would
After reading Lord of the Flies I asked myself a question, was Ralph a good leader or not? In my opinion Ralph was a decent leader, but he could’ve been better. He was a good leader in some ways, but he wasn’t in other ways. Some readers argue that Jack would’ve been a better leader than Ralph. I think if Jack and Ralph became co leaders they would’ve succeeded more in bettering the tribe and surviving more as a group.
Ralph was elected because he he had more votes and was with Piggy when he found the conch shell. Jack is the savage one out of the group, but that is part of mankind Piggy being the most intelligent one of them all if it wasn't for Piggy they wouldn't have shelter that they’re able to stay dry and to the wind with nor would they be able to start a fire and wouldn't have found/have found the conch shell. Ralph, Piggy Jack Ralph was elected to be the leader of the group because he was the most popular one of them all Piggy wasn't the most liked he was the most intelligent one of the whole group he knew what everyone did not know or understand how to do it jack he was a savage he liked to torture stuff and he thought it was fun to do so but it was bad whenever they killed Simon and Piggy. In the novel the, Lord Of The Flies, written By William Golding Ralph represent order, Jack
Good leaders skillfully manage tense topics and situations. In Lord of the Flies, Ralph is the best leader because he is selfless, appreciative of others, and diplomatic. The first good leadership quality Ralph possesses is selflessness, he prioritizes everyone’s safety and comfort over his own desires. Jack returns to the beach from hunting to see Ralph working on the shelters with only help from Simon.
In chapter ten of Lord of the Flies Piggy is focused on due to his specs. First of all Jack makes a plan to steal his glasses in the middle of the night. Of course the children that are under Jack's ruling do not protest and go along with it. They all had a thing against Piggy because of his size, but Jack goes out of his way as much as possible to make the larger child feel terrible about himself. Secondly the boys hear noises in the night that are not like the usual sounds form the wind and animals.
In the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of civilized boys are stranded on an island with no parental authority and soon they become uncivilized. One of the first things the boys do is pick a leader. They pick a boy named Ralph because they thought he would do the best job keeping them civilized. Throughout Lord of the Flies Ralph is mentioning wanting to get rescued from the island. All of the boys on the island have become less and less civilized as time went on but Ralph seemed to be just the same as when they crashed.
As for Jack, he was looking to be the ringleader and when he is not, he decides the boys should dedicate their time to hunting food on the island. Ralph was a true leader and without him, civilization would not have been a
In the book, Lord of the Flies, there are many characters that others could consider as leaders. However, Ralph would be the person I would follow because he has many leadership skills such as setting rules for others safety, caring for others, and last but not least, he is not power hungry. Ralph is a good leader because he sets the rules for everyone. In the book, Ralph decided that he was going to make rules for everyone to follow and so they don’t lose anyone.
As a young boy who is thrown into a laborious and lonesome time without adults, Ralph announces a very dependable and insightful character in the Lord of the Flies. Ralph is confident among the boys at first, considering he’s okay with becoming the chief handling everyone. His confidence is apparent in the beginning when Ralph calls the boys together with the conch and counts the votes for chief and announces, “I’m chief then”’ (Golding, 23).
Although he is strong, Ralph also lacks leadership qualities. Ralph’s weaknesses are that he is too laidback and easygoing. In some cases punishment and authority are a must, but he does not like enforcing punishment on the boys when they disobey the rules he laid down. Every good leader needs to be able to let people know what they're doing wrong and if they keep doing it to fix it somehow.
Maybe it’s Only Us “The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of everyone man.” (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn). The book “Lord of The Flies” was published in 1954 by William Golden. Golden wanted his book to show how everyone can lose their humanity. Goldening told a story about what can happen to anyone.
Similarly, the leader, Ralph is one of the better behaved children
Large American corporations had developed mass production and marketing plans to tap into the newly-formed teenage market and harness this worldwide craze. They were helped along by technological leaps in radio and television, which made it possible for American music to penetrate foreign cultures like never before. Following the introduction of television in 1956, radio stations increasingly relied on the new 'teenage' thirst for American music. Commercial radio was increasingly aligning its programming with the American youth model, and play lists were still dominated by mostly imported American and British popular music. Radio announcers in the 1950s often used American accents to make their products appear exciting and modern - a clear
