As Jack defied him, all he could say was “I’m the chief” or “I have the conch”. By doing so, it shows that he didn’t do all he could to keep everyone in check. As a leader, Ralph gained trust from many of the boys, including Piggy. Piggy, who was the most intellectual, seemed to get into everyone’s way. With his good intentions and smart thoughts, it made the other biguns feel inferior.
Ralph shows useful human qualities as a leader by having attention to boys' society. He knows the boys need stability and order if they are to survive on the island. Jack does not treat the boys with dignity and importance as Ralph does. Ralph understands that the boy like for example Piggy, have to be given respect. He creates rules and a simple form of government to achieve this order of being accepted.
They were very important to Huck’s moral growth. They conned and stole from many innocent people, and made Huck a part of it. Although Huck was involved in some of their scams, he knew that what they were doing was wrong. He went along with them so he and Jim would not get in trouble, this showed that Huck did care for Jim and wanted to protect him. As he watched them do terrible things, he grew from their negative influence.
We can see that he has gained power through this as he uses the ability to get others to do what you want them to do. Jack is a dictator type of leadership, he values his respect from everyone.The dictator in Jack becomes leading in his personality, during when the boys have seen the beast in sight. The boys panic when they tell everyone, but Jack uses his rhetoric words to blame it on Raplh. He argues back that ‘ he’d never got us meat’ which emphasises that his hunting skills could make for an effective leader.If jack was becoming a dictator leader, it would mean that the people would follow his orders without a question meaning that there are less arguments. His importance has lead to him ordering his hunters to forget about the beast so that they wouldn’t have any nightmares.
Jack becomes successful in gaining power because he rules by fear and with intimidation and brute force. Even the army of hunters fear Jack when he “beat Wilfred”(176) for no apparent reason. Although Jack’s irrational decisions appease the little ones, his actions hurt the boys’ chance of rescue. As time passes on the island, Jack’s own bloodlust prioritizes itself before the need to be rescued. In order to protect the little ones from the beast, he makes an offering “for the beast.”(151), creating the basis of a religion.
Basically, Twain is saying that you can either tell the truth or lie, but as long as you know the trick, you’re in control. In this chapter, Mr. Wilson is given the nickname ‘Pudd’nhead’ because of what he said about the dog: “’I wish I owned half of that dog.’ ‘Why?’ somebody asked. ‘Because I would kill my half’” (Twain). He wasn’t telling the truth, but he wasn’t lying either; he was merely being sarcastic. However, the townspeople didn’t understand it, so they labeled Mr. Wilson with the nickname ‘Pudd’nhead.’ However, Mr. Wilson understood the trick, so in reality, he’s the only intelligent person present.
His leadership skills are seen by Ralph even though he isn't as old as Ralph and Jack. He is the first person to realise that "the beastie" is not a physical being/animal trying to make all the boys on the island suffer and have a miserable time. Simon shows his courage by his eagerness to make yet another journey to discover the beast's true self. It is necessary for him to become isolated in order to see things more clearly. Along with Piggy, unfortunately, he becomes a symbol of sacrifice when the boys tear him to pieces.
Since the beginning of time, humans have been playing the game of survival, where the strong ones survive and the weak ones die. In order to stay in the game, people often have to abandon their morals and let savagery take over so that they can get what they need. This forms the basis of evil that exists in each human being. Much in the same way, Jack’s desire to be Chief allows him to gradually discover his own savage instincts, which allows him to hunt and kill. He slowly climbs the ladder and later becomes Chief by convincing the boys that a “beast” exists on the island.
George and Lenny’s relationship is mainly like a man with his dog/child. This Is mainly due to the way Lenny acts and his simplistic mind.however even though George gets frustrated at Lennie, the y care for each other very much which plays to the interest of STeinback. Steinbeck presents George and Lenny’s relationship as child looking up to an adult this is shown when “Lennie imitated him, raising his head to do to see whether he was doing it right”. The phrase explains the way that Lennie always believes George and will follow him to the end. The use of George as a role model shows us how innocent Lennie is as role models are usually associated with a child coping an adult.
This makes him more of a well respected leader because of how he handles his behaviors and showing his tribe how strong minded he is and how he will hold his ground if something bad were to ever happen. A leader should not care what others think about him because it impairs his decision- making and judgment. In Lord of The Flies, Ralph has a different style of leadership from the other boys. Ralph is a moral leader who is liked by many people. However, Ralph doesn't realize that to be a good leader, one must separate himself from the average person.
