Explain why the boys elect Ralph as their chief. I believe that the boys didn't give much thought into who they would elect as their chief at all. It was more of a choice between who was the most assertive and in control of the group than who they thought could lead them through the difficulties of being without guidance from adults. Ralph seemed like the obvious chose, he held the conch;"Let him be chief with the trumpet-thing." He was commanding and centred at the front of the group, he had called them all together in the first place and he seemed like a person who could have some fun. I believe that the choir boys only voted for Jack through loyalty and fear of what might happen if they didn't. I agree with this. Ralph seemed like the natural leader of the group and the most obvious choice, although Jack was also a dominating figure and he would probably have been more likely to be picked if he was the one who blew the conch shell. |

Explain why the boys elect Ralph as their chief. The boys elected Ralph to become their chief because he was the one who summoned them by blowing the conch. He is also one of the oldest boys, looks strong, has a laid back personality and is described as having an attractive appearance. When the boys were given the chance to vote for their leader, they obviously picked Ralph over Jack who was described as being ugly both in personality and appearance. |
