Or when the fire went out, he had to figure out how they were to keep it going, and who was going to keep it lit. And when the boys were fighting, he had to think of a way to bring them back together. If only the other boys in the tribes would have done their part, everything would have gone perfectly. But for the most part, Ralph did the best job in doing what he needed to do and he helped out so much by problem solving and coming up with great ideas to help out everyone in the sticky situations that they faced on the
Lord of the Flies Ralph is the Best LeaderRalph is the best leader because he represents civilization, is democratic, and is optimistic. He works together with the other boys in a productive and fair way. Ralph is the best leader because he is a team player, is productive, is able to prioritize, and believes in civilized rules. Ralph said: “We must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire” (p.37).
When Jack leaves the tribe and takes most of the kids, Ralph knows that they need to make a fire somewhere else but on the mountain. When Piggy comes up with the great idea of making the fire near the pool everyone for the first notices the intelligence of Piggy. This is shown when Piggy comes up with a wonderful idea, “Only Piggy could have the intellectual daring to suggest the fire…” (Golding 129). Even though Ralph has not really valued Piggy’s thoughts in the past, but now Ralph finally notices Piggy’s intelligence. Bringing the fire near the pool is very helpful because now they will not have to go to the mountain.
When the boys arrive on the island, unaware of the environmental circumstances, establish things in a civilized manner. Environmental circumstances are the combination of external physical conditions that affect and influence the growth, development, and survival of organism. The boys decide to have a chief in order to "decide things"(22). Ralph wins the majority of the vote and he assigns Jack, and his group of choir boys as hunters and gatherers. The hunters and gatherers job is to gather food and light the signal fire, which can help them reach civilization.
The boy has an endless will to do the right thing, which seems to be what the father has been teaching the boy on their long journey. The boy asks several times if they are still carrying the fire and if others might do the same, like in the end where the father convinces the boy to go on without him, like in the end where the father convinces the boy to go on without him, because he is about to die: “I want to be with you. You cant. Please. You cant.
Like a pack of kids!’ By now they were listening to the tirade. ‘How can you expect to be rescued if you don’t put first things first and act proper?” (Page 45) This quote shows how Piggy is trying to get all of their attention in order to tell the boys what they should. His ideas always seem to make the most sense, but have trouble getting his messages through. I believe that Piggy would actually make the best leader out of the boys, but his physical appearance is what sets his leadership skills apart from ralph. Simon Throughout the novel, Simon remains as a flat and static character.
Fire – Love and Perseverance Nothing is stronger than the love shared by father and son. In Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, the father and son are traveling to the south after a nuclear war, and all they have are the clothes on their back and the thought that they need to keep “carrying the fire.” The term “carrying the fire” is McCarthy’s way of saying that they need to persevere. The “fire” inside of them is their strength, pushing them to carry on their journey to the south. The “fire” is also the love they feel for each other, and throughout the novel, they show it without having to say it. The “fire” is not only perseverance and love, but also each other.
Ralph was probably the most influential person at the beginning of the novel since he was a leader. While everyone was concerned with having fun, Ralph was more worried about doing whatever he could to get rescued. Seen in chapter 2 when Ralph says “If a ship comes near they island they may not notice us”. “We must make a fire” (38). Ralph’s ability to persuade the boys to behave civilly was most impressive until the boys slowly began to become savage.
The games that the boys play help to show their personalities as a whole, the fact that the boys are running round a fire like Indians show that they a boisterous and most likely missed behaved, This extract also portrays Paddy's longing to be popular and have a high status in the gang. ' We followed him' The action of all the boys following Kevin portrays the idea of leaders and followers and also displays their loyalty to each other as whatever one does they will all do. Overall the performance of all these actions reveals Paddy's childlike behaviour and also his young age. Doyle also manipulates language to convey the relationship between Paddy and his brother, he does this through the description of events and displaying the theme of violence. 'I closed the bathroom door and I got Sinbad back for it; I gave him a dead leg' the use of violence in this extract suggests that Paddy has a sense of resentment towards his brother perhaps because he has to take care of him and feels he always shadows him.
