So of course they need a person who is in charge of them to help kind of guide them into the right direction. Some people chose ralph and some chose jack. Ralph is the kind of person that wants to lay down the orders and make sure that the rest of the kids on the island aren 't messing around and being responsible. Jack on the other hand is the more hard headed guy he wants to mess around and wants to just have fun. Which one will make the best leader? What gives him power? keep reading to find out who is the best leader.
Jack is the person that changes the most throughout the story. He begins in the book as a self centred choir boy. Jack’s feelings were the same as ralph’s, to keep an organized group on the island, although we are shown a pretty much normal boy, we slowly start to see that jack can be very mean at the same time. While piggy is talking, jack exclaims, “ you’re talking too much. shut up fatty.” (goldings, 20). Jack is made the leader of the hunting tribe. He and his hunters had a hard time killing a pig because they have never experience being on an island with no guidance. The hunters finally catch the pig, the hunters including jack attack it and kill it and they stick the head on the stick to show of “ Do Not cross” kind of thing. But this is first step into jack becoming a savage living. From the beginning, we are aware that jack is extremely full of anger, this is why jack was able to believe that he didn 't have much digress as the other children such as ralph. His first two signs of violent power are the power that he has with the boys and his knife. The knife represents on how violent he is and how intimidating the knife is , he uses it to scare piggy and try to make the boys intimidated of him. Jack wouldn 't be good enough leader because he doesn 't really care if they get help or not he is okay with living there because there are no parents there to discipline him and tell him what to do and what not to do. Maybe living on the island has changed him not for the better but for the worst because he doesn 't understand how dangerous living on an island worrying about starving to death and other things too. …show more content…

Jack is a pretty good manipulator because he made all of the boys who are stuck on the island go on his team because he is saying that he’ll give them food and shelter and ect. and i think that 's why most of them went also because jack called ralph a wimp because he doesn 't wanna hunt and can make everyone turn against each other, but not good enough to be a good leader on the island. Ralph Is represented as a democracy,morality, leadership; everything that is good. Ralph 's main goal on the island is to be rescued by setting up a signal fire so if an airplane is flying by they will see the fire and immediately get help. Ralph is one of the oldest boys on the island, he is calm and rational. Ralph he represents the political tradition of the liberal democracy. In the story …show more content…
Jack is not a good enough leader because he always brings people down and doesn 't care about anyone and he is happy that there isn 't no adult supervision so that 's why he is acting the way he is. He is making everyone turn against everyone and he doesn 't care if anyone dies or is starving to death, he has no heart he is what you call cold-hearted person. After all ralph is a good leader and has a lot of power and is a very respectful young
