Leadership In Lord Of The Flies

Good leadership is when a leader takes action and knows right from wrong. A good leader is someone who can lead the group and know how to protect the group from dangers. An example of good leadership in “Lord of the Flies” by William Golden would be Ralph. The reason I chose Ralph for good leadership is because when the plane crashed onto the uninhabited island causing the scar, Ralph began searching for other kids trying to form a group to survive and get rescued from the island. There are also some capable leaders such as Jack, Simon, and Piggy. Jack would also be a capable leader but there are a lot of flaws about Jack Merridew. Jack in the book “Lord of the Flies” is considered a hunter and someone who is selfish and is all about trying to find ways he can enforce rules and become leader. An example would be when Ralph gave Jack an important job which was to keep the fire going through the day just in case a ship passes by.

Simon in this situation wouldn’t be a leader because he’s scaring the littluns and he doesn’t really know what he needs to do to help others out, therefore, he is not a leader that meets the
