Lord of the Flies : Analyse the islands leader
In the story Lord of the flies by William Golding, a group of young boys are trapped on a desert island, away from civiliasation. The boys have to provide food and water for themselves, and create a socioty. The one thing they can quite get to grips on is who should be the leader?
When the boys first met up together on the island, there was no apparent leadership, no body cared for rules and socioty, only that there were no grown-ups. This was the first real chance they had away from any grown-ups, so they wanted to make it special. They went swimming and playing, but there was no control over everyone, so Ralph called a meeting. This shows good leadership skills, being logical and calling the meeting to get everything sorted. They boys took a vote, and Ralph was elected as leader, but how long could he last?
