Lord of the Flies
By: William Golding
In the novel Lord of the flies, Jack contributes in both of the tragedies on the island. In every situation that occurs on the island, Jack is constantly agonizing to disarrange their character and mind set of the original leader. While Jack is continually being manipulative, he is gaining more followers. Meanwhile Ralph is losing.
Jack could have easily prevented the deaths that occurred on the island. He could have prevented the death of Piggy by using his power in a positive way and by not allowing the followers to use violence. Jack has a lot of power over the whole island because the followers enjoy his ability of hunting. The followers do anything and believe anything Jack says. If Jack didn't continuously agonize the imagination of the beast, the death of Simon wouldn't have taken place.
If I was in Jack's shoes, I would have let Ralph remain in authority because it would have prevented the deaths on the island. Ralph holds the most stability in civilization and has that adult figure. He is very mature and knows the procedures of survival. Unlike Jack, Ralph doesn't only think about hunting and having fun without parents but he thinks about the true personal needs and survival equipment. Having Jack in authority just caused complete disaster and savagery, which is why having Ralph as leader would prevent the deaths.
