While on the island “As time goes on, he [Jack] adopts a regal bearing, treating the other boys as if they are there for amusement” (Constantakis 1).

While choosing who is more successful in ruling the island, Jack or Ralph, the reader must take into account the ending when the naval officer asked for the boss on the island. Ralph confidently and loudly proclaims that he is the leader while Jack “started forward, then changed his mind and stood still” (Golding 234). Also, after Ralph shows he is the leader, the other children on the island do not argue, they all stay silent as well showing that they do not disagree. Deciding who is going to rule a ‘society’ or in this case an island is a very important decision that within this story, children are forced to make.

Another example which proves that Ralph is more successful in being a leader is how Ralph is right about a fire attracting someone to save them from
