Ralph Leadership In Lord Of The Flies Essay

My Essay is about Ralph and and his Motivation’s and did he contribute to the tragedy in any way. Also about if he prevented any of the deaths and what would I have done differently in his situation. I defend Ralph’s actions as leader, He had tried his best but everyone fell apart. Did Ralph contribute to the tragedies? Ralph had tried his best but he was struggling at handling the problems on the island, He was unaware of the boy’s and what was going on. He had tried to contribute to all of the tragedies but there was too much going on around him it was just hard. What was wrong with Ralph too was that jack ignores everything and try’s to do his own thing the whole time instead of working together with everyone. All Jack wants is his

So Ralph had really struggled dealing with everybody. In my opinion Ralph was doing a good job, Yes he kind of gave up for a little bit but he was trying his best as a leader. Instead of just letting everybody go kill animals and run around adventuring like Jack he was trying to protect everybody. Here is a quote when Ralph says “ I'm chief”, because you chose me and we are going to keep the fire going. It showed that he was taking charge and he had made a command like a real leader. Jacks leadership of the group results in a situation that is really out of control Ralph could not have prevented all of the deaths. Even if he is leader Jack did not listen if Jack would have talked to everybody together maybe there would have not been any deaths. If I was in his position I would have already hurt Jack are yelled at him, something that would have showed him that I was a caring leader and then tell him he can stick with the team or go away and do what he wanted to do and just cause another death. I would have compromised as much as could so maybe Jack would actually understand. That even if we're not family we still need to stick together as if we were one. Here is another quote “ If we have a signal going, they’ll come

He is trying to be a teamplayer not like Jack who want’s to go adventure and kill things Ralph is protective and really smart. So If I was in Ralph situation then I would have not been able to prevent the deaths because Jack was way out of control. Even though there has been times where Ralph did not do what a leader should of done. There was times he was picking on piggy and time he was acting like himself. Although the difference between Jack and Ralph is that Ralph is not evil, cynical, or selfish he knows the difference between right and what’s wrong. That’s why if I had to pick between Ralph and Jack it would be Ralph because he is a caring person. Ralph overall really tried his best to be together as a team and a family. So the point of this is to tell you that Ralphs motivation was to find help to get off the island he wanted to keep people safe so that they would all help and comfort each other. The tragedies were hard but Ralph did contribute even when he was upset he still showed effort. Oh and all the deaths Ralph was speechless he could not have prevented it even if he wanted to and we know he really wanted to. Jack was the problem that’s the real answer to all of this if it wasn't for Jack’s behavior and action just maybe there would be no
