Struggle on the Sand
In William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies, a group of boys found themselves stranded on an island with no parental guidance or rules. They immediately elected a boy named Ralph as the leader of the pack. Overtime Ralph lost his power to the hunters tribe, which was led by Jack, because getting off the island lacked appeal to the boys. All the young boys wanted to have fun and relax; Jack simply gave them the opportunity by taking his hunters on wild hunts. As time went on, hunting appealed not only to a few but to everyone on the island. Due to the hunts and face painting Ralph’s followers soon turned to Jack’s tribe of hunters. Ralph’s power on the island soon became invisible. From the very beginning, Ralph never had a place in the heart of Jack since Ralph was elected leader. Jack wanted to be the leader of the boys, but because he wasn’t he was sure to get back at Ralph for he took his glory.
