Both Ralph and Jack symbolize two different types of government leaders. Ralph shares his ideas and thoughts with the boys and whenever a task needs to be done he shares the responsibility of the task with the other boys. Not only does Jack share his ideas with the boys but he also shows them the way he wants it to be done. He takes control when showing the boys how to hunt and he dictates to the boys their orders. In the book, Jack continues to lead by example whenever he is doing something. One of the biggest ways Jack leads by example is through hunting. Unlike Ralph, who just explains to the boys what they should do like go up the mountain to watch the fire, Jack goes with them to show them how it should be done. Ralph could never bring himself to kill another living thing, but Jack can. Jack follows through with what he says he is going to do. When he first attempted to kill the pig he could not bring himself to do it. He promised the boys that “next time there would be no mercy” (29), and as he become obsessed with hunting and wanting to kill a pig, the next time he came into contact with the pig, he showed no mercy.

Jack continues to over throw Ralph when it comes to winning over the boys. Everything that Ralph tells the boys, Jack is the person that always volunteers and helps them to complete…
