Who Is Ralph In Lord Of The Flies Persuasive Essay
Of the many boys stuck on the island in Lord of the Flies, only one was the protagonist of the story. This boy was Ralph. In the first chapter, Ralph was the one who found the conch with Piggy and called an assembly to unite the boys and see who all was on the island. In this assembly, Ralph gets voted leader most likely because he just assumes the responsibility of the leader right off the bat and the fact that he has the conch.

So overall, I do not believe that Ralph was a very good leader for the boys on the island due to the fact that he never showed dominance, did not try to suppress Jack’s revolution until late, and he also was not strict enough to keep their loyalty.If Ralph could look back at what happened and change some of the things that he did, he definitely would have done these things to prevent both deaths, all of the fear caused by the “beast”, and the tyranny of Jack and his hunting. Everyone knows that hindsight is 2020. Even for
