Lord Of The Flies
Through the novel ?Lord of the Flies? references are given about the government, regular society and its problems. At the beginning of the book Piggy and Ralph bring the society of boys together and are immediately opposed by Jack and his boys. This shows a good example of different governmental parties that don?t necessarily agree about things. Jack says ? ?I ought to be chief, ? because I?m chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp.? ? (Golding, 18) and although Ralph does not verbally say why he should lead everyone knows because he was the one to gather them and he held the conch. They decide to hold an election to see who should lead ? ?Let?s have a vote.? ?Yes!? ?Vote for a chief!? ?Let?s vote-? ? (18). Ralph wins the election because there are more littl?uns that pick Ralph because he has the conch. Even though Ralph is now officially the leader of the island opposition from Ralph and his choir already exists. Even with a chief people still are in disarray. Jack takes command of his boys and tells Ralph what they are going to do instead of letting Ralph decide like he should. Ralph?s poor leadership is very evident and very few people actually li
Some people will be withdrawn and passive if they had a certain upbringing. At the time the world was also in a war. He doesn?t enforce the law and the power he holds, this eventually leads to his tribe splitting up and making Jack chief of another camp. Although the boys were isolated from the world, they tried to act civil, they still fought and warred. So even though they weren?t influenced by the world around them, they still being innocent (to some extent) still acted like the rest of the world. This didn?t work and he didn?t do much about it ? ?And they keep running off. Jack?s dictatorship would?ve been relatively successful if it wasn?t for the Naval Officer. Dictatorships can be successful as Jack shows but usually the dictator gets ?power hungry? and makes a large mistake that leads to their fall. Jack on the other hand probably grew up getting orders from adults and when his turn came around to be the ?adult figure? he was very controlling of his people. ? ? (51)and because of that he failed. Jack?s government was more of a dictatorship. Humans are not perfect and no matter how hard they tried neither could the boys on the island. He worked with his men and punished those who didn?t work.
