They all want to survive so they all try to create an organized environment.“‘We’ll have rules’ he cried excitedly. ‘Lots of rules! Then when anyone breaks ‘em -’”(Golding 33). This quote substantiates that discipline, organization and respect are social values that are significant to the English boys on the island. This quote displays the importance of discipline to the boys on the island.
Jack definitely believes that rules are necessary in a community and that men must follow the rules. Merridew has friends. He is supportive and helpful: "At the return Ralph found himself alone on a limb with Jack and they grinned at each other, sharing this burden" (38). Jack knew the importance of friendship and teamwork. He loved helping Ralph and his wish was to make this island like a home for the boys.
Ralph upholds the responsibility as chief because he knows he has to somehow guide the boys until they were rescued. Although he is afraid of what lay ahead, he becomes brave and takes position with confidence. Apart from taking a risky position as leader, Ralph shows bravery by taking risks so the other boys do not have to. He, for example, went down to the red cliff where the boys think the beast could be hiding. “...[He] realized with surprise that he did not really expect to meet the beast and didn’t know what he would do about it if he did” (Golding 105).
Jack, the antagonist, is a likable character because he has the ability to sing and lead his people, but some of the dislikable part about him is that he will use whatever trick necessary in order to get what he wants. Hitler and Jack are similar; they are both bold, productive and mean that make them true and epic fighters. Without a myriad amount of boldness, people would not be making big contribution to the world. In the beginning of Lord of the Flies, all the characters decide to stick together and do everything together. After a while, Jack feels that Ralph is not a good leader and he should take over the leadership of the people on the island.
The two men understood and appreciated the missions of their supporters, adapted to their audiences, and remained themselves while stepping up as leaders. Both men utilized these three key principles of influence, but the specifics of how they did so differed (McGrawHillPro, 2011). In Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream,” he understood the mission, to eliminate racism and unify all men. King knew his audience and adapted his speech in an attempt to reach people of all races and religions, and in all regions across the nation. He also remained himself by demonstrating integrity and courage, sticking to his beliefs and not backing down, despite potential opposition (MartinLKingJrDay, 2009).
This shows that the symbol stands for respect, authority, and order. This is because the boys needed rules on the island so disasters wouldn’t emerge between them. Furthermore, they used the conch to call everybody for a meetings by blowing into it. This shows that the conch really does represent order, to the boys it almost symbolizes their parents. This is because it keeps them calm and cool, as long as they have the conch they will be in order and under control.
“I was just trying to be brave like you”, Simba says. Mufasa replies, “I am only brave when I need to be”, this explains that Mufasa is a responsible father and a father who wants to his child to be safe and secure wherever he is because he does want his son to be brave but at the same time he wants him to not get in trouble and do stuff which he is not capable of yet. Simba is a little cub and he likes to play around like all the kids of this age must do. For Simba, I would say that he can easily get in
Do all of you see?’ He spreads his arms wide and turned to the whole triangle, ‘We’ve got to make smoke up there-or die’’’ (Golding86-87). By being the first to tell the boys what to do and by setting goals for the boys to follow, he makes practical plans that will ensure their rescue. Ralph also shows a great amount of initiative when most of the boys try to avoid work and all they want to do is play. Although not much help is being provided, Ralph decides to build huts as a method of survival. Ralph’s idea of building huts expresses how he sticks with plans for the safety of the entire group.
Also, he is considered idealistic as he is always thinking about the aftereffects of disclosing the information of the baths to the public; in his case he believes he would get popular but it turns out the reality of situations hits him hard. The third characteristic is honesty, believing that if he tells the truth to the public then he might get the support of the community. The first main significant theme that Ibsen uses to explore Dr. Stockmann’s character is Principles. Dr. Thomas Stockmann is a man of principles and is willing to fight for what he believes in. His dedication is on display throughout the play, as he is steadily stripped of position in society, his home, and his job for refusing to be silent about the town's unhealthy, contaminated Baths which is considered to be his central motivation.
Throughout the majority of the novel it is obvious to see that Ralph is not the rightful leader, and that Jack should be the leader as he has a strong sense of control over the island but does not have the same agenda when it comes to being rescued as he does not see the importance in the fire, whereas Ralph does, “You let the fire out.” This shows Ralph to understand that to escape from the island the boys need to create a signal fire for other ships. Jack is the apparent rightful leader, but the one that shows the intelligence and is the main reason to why Ralph became chief is Piggy, as from the start he understands the severity of the situation “We may stay here till we die.” Piggy’s intelligence is shown through the
