Lord of the Flies - Who I think would make the best leader on the island: :: English Literature

Lord of the Flies - Who I think would make the best attracter on the island Ralph, Piggy or Jack?The Novel that this piece of writing is based upon is named Lord ofthe Flies. The author of the book is William Golding who wrote manyother books including Close accommodate and Fire down below. This essayis on my opinion of who would be the best leader on the island out ofRalph, Piggy and Jack. I will base my opinions on my assumption ofwhat makes a good leader and my general feelings of their actions,reactions and appearance.

Another aspect Iwill have to consider is the first impressions made on the charactersand how Golding provoked these.What makes a good leader is someone who does not take sides in badsituations, someone who is organised, they can be independent,confident, good ideas, a quick thinker, non-judgmental, works surfaceunder pressure, reliable, takes charge and can see good and bad inpeople. All these points are good because people following the leadersdo not want to be under pressure because the leader can not takecertain circumstances, followers also do not a leader who is notconfident because then they have to be more positive. Also if theleader does not give their followers praise then they will becomedoubtful about their leader.Piggy is described by Golding asThe naked crooks of his knees were plump andhe was shorter than the fair boy (Ralph) and precise fatPiggy wears spectacles and this seems to make people disrespect him.

Ralphand Jacks argument is on pages 51-52. The argument is about Jackshunting because he has not helped with the making of the shelters soRalph is mad. An example of the Adult nature is straight after theargument when Ralph says Youve noticed havent you?Jack coif down his spear and squattedNoticed what?Well. Theyre frightened.This behaviour is very well showed because they forget about the
