LORD OF THE FLIES
By Mohammed Taguri
In the beginning of lord of the flies both Jack and Ralph establish
some sort of leadership characteristics. But on an Island with so many
young children only one of them can become Chief. They both are very
different but have an admiration and mutual respect for each other.
Ralph is an upper-middle class English Boy. His father is a commander
in the Navy, Ralph shows his naïve side when he tells piggy how once
his father gets leave he'll come and rescue him. Ralph's main
difference to Jack is that he has not altogether lost morality of his
life prior to crash landing onto the island. Ralph in comparison to
Jack is a lot more timid and sensitive, he does not share the
aggression which emerges in Jack. Ralph however has an insensitive
side at times, this is shown in the way he treats
Piggy.
Ralph's main weakness is his inability to decide on what to do,
despite quickly maturing on the island, Ralph is still as confused and
bewildered as any child would be when stranded on a desert island. His
bad judgement is shown when Ralph must make a quick decision to either
to fetch Piggy's glasses and risk the fire going out and ship leaving
