I would rather be leader, depending on what I am leading. Leaders are
usually ones with confidence, determination, and endurance; someone who can and
will do things for the benefit of others before himself. Leader is more
responsibility but it is worth it because I have strong opinions and if I do
not agree with someone, I am sure to let others know. A good leader takes the
ideas and defects/limitations of others into consideration before deciding on
something. Ralph was determined to keep the fire going, in the last
chapter when he saw samneric, he thought about getting them to help go against Jack
and his hunters, all going back to getting a signal out to ships.
The main characteristic that made Jack different from Ralph, leadership
wise, is that Jack had no natural affection for others. Ralph cared about the
others well being; in one of the chapters he discusses how sanitation is
important and tells the littleuns to use to bathroom in the designated spot
only. Ralph also had a goal, that of being rescued. Jack was preoccupied with
the trivial things like finding meat (Which was not a bad thing, but this is
what engulfed him). He not once ever thought about shelters or the others on
the island and their state of well being.
