Who do you think is more successful leader Ralph or Jack?

Ralph’sElected the leader of the boys at the beginning of the novel, Ralph is the primary representative of order, civilization, and productive leadership in the novel. While most of the other boys are concerned with playing, having fun, and avoiding work at the beginning of the novel, Ralph sets about building huts and thinking of ways to maximize their chances of being rescued. For this reason, Ralph's power and influence over the other boys are extremely secure at the beginning of the novel. However, as the book progresses and the group succumbs to savage instincts, Ralph's position declines precipitously as Jack's station rises. Eventually, all the boys leave Ralph's group for Jack's, and Ralph is left alone to be hunted by Jack's tribe. Ralph never seriously considers joining Jack's tribe in order to save himself. Ralph's commitment to civilization and morality is very strong, and his main wish is to be rescued and returned to the society of adults. In a sense, this strength gives Ralph a moral victory at the end of the nova, leadership qualities were to inspire confidence by providing hope for the rest of the group (we will get food hunt. Catch things …until they fetch us), or example; the fire was used to signal and to attract only attentions he said (you rub two sticks. you rub), to any passing ships or planes. We see many events through Ralph’s eyes, and are given many insights into the way he feels about events and people. Ralph was liked thus he was chosen as leader, he was fair, by him giving the group the right to speak whenever they are holding the conch.

As always a successful leader needs some courage to face enemies and others who try to intrude, against his followers with his superiority of mind control and not physically   has a set of rules; and by definition of LEADER is a person who rules or guides or inspires others. Ralph’s character does not only lead the group, but he also attracts us the readers too, to the novel and also makes us, the readers want to know what would happen and if he is going to be successful doing his job as a leader or not.
