he's motivation was to keep everyone safe, and stick threw it till the end. Ralph not only is a hero, but truely the only optimistic person threw out the story. The other children of the island elect him as the leader of the island because of he took control and tried to bring order amunst the others. examples of ralphs attempts to bring order to the island include, the conch shell, piggies glasses, buliding huts, fire, and establishing roles for the other islanders. when the boys first arive on the island, Ralph finds a conch shell that he uses to not only bring order, but to gather everyone that survived together.
The book makes it easy to interpret Walter as quite the opposite of caring, however, the book also gives sufficient evidence to Walter being caring below the surface. Such evidence can be found in Walter mentioning that he wants to find success through gaining money in life so that his son Travis doesn’t have to sleep on the couch anymore. I do believe that this is caring of Walter, because at the end of the day the Younger’s still have a roof over their head and food to eat. In Walter’s eyes however, he wants the best he believes he can get for his son, and those that he loves. Although this example does show that Walter is caring, it also shows that Walter is hopeful.
When Golding describes Ralph, he mentions the ‘snake-clasp’ on his belt. Often, snakes symbolise slyness, betrayal and temptation, so perhaps Golding is foreshadowing behaviour of Ralph later in the book. At the start of the Chapter, Ralph thinks the island will just be a great adventure and is thrilled there are no adults around. We know this as he ‘stood on his head and grinned at the reversed fat boy (and said) “No grown-ups!”’ But as he realises they could be stuck on the island forever, he pulls himself together and organises the meeting, which results in him becoming a worthy, democratic leader. Jack is more serious about the island from the start, as the first thing he says is “Where’s the man with the trumpet?”.The fact that he says ‘man’ shows that he is expecting there to be adults around and when he finds out there aren’t any, he realistically says “Then we’ll have to look after ourselves”.
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.

Lord of the flies: Leadership debate This writing assignment is to debate the leadership qualities of Jack, Ralph, Piggy and Simon, and conclude who is best suited for the role of chief of the big group of boys stranded on an island. Jack is the more confident and aggressive character who’s personality comes across quite strongly in this story. Having come from a well off family and having been spoilt, Jack does not tolerate defiance or argument. Having been chapter chorister Jack is a figure of authority, and has experience in being the leader of a group. Ralph is the organized one of the four boys and has a very selfless character.
He understands their fears and helps the boys to overcome them by making them stronger. A democratic society may seem fair for everyone concerned but in the end, Jack ends up winning.

The two boys differed in just about everything except in the love of fly fishing; this seems to be where the boys came to understanding with one another. Now even though Norman was the oldest, he admired his younger brother Paul and his wild streak which said to make him ‘tougher than any man alive’. Norman feared that that would someday destroy Paul, but took little worry in the possibility of it ever coming true, which it does later on in the film. Norman becomes serious in his school work and writing. He ends up attending Dartmouth College for six years and graduates, later becoming professor of English literature.
In John Grisham's A Painted House, the main character Luke Chandler is introduced as a shy, hard-working, honest, and God-fearing young boy. Throughout the novel he we see him grow as he makes his own choices and becomes more independent. As problems begin to unfold with the Spruills and Hank killing the Sisco boy, Luke ends up having to lie to protect Hank and prevent the Spruills from leaving the farm. This is where Luke realizes how easy it is to lie. He begins to question how 'bad' it really is to tell lies and eventually by the end of the novel, finds it almost completely acceptable.
How was all this possible? He had positive influences around him causing him to be shaped into a smart, successful young man. His family deeply cared about his success and did not want to see failure in his future. In contrast, the other Wes Moore did not have many positive influences in his life. His influence was his brother Tony that was “the closest thing he had to a role model” (page 72) Tony was a troubled child and their mother would depend on him to talk Wes out of drug dealing and fighting when Tony did those activities himself.
