Lord of the Flies
by: Herb Walker
Jack's tribe
"I ought to be chief," said Jack with simple arrogance, "because I'm chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp." (1.229-231). this quote shows how arrogant jack is and how hungry he is for power and how he wants to be the all powerful ruler. he has no real reason why he should be leader besides the fact that he just simply wants to lead.
Ralph's tribe
"Piggy, for all his ludicrous body, had brains. Ralph was a specialist in thought now, and could recognize thought in another"(lord of the flies ch.5). this quote shows how ralph can relate to people and understand them and that he isnt just a power hungry leader that he is actually fair and cares about the people in his society.
