Topic > o Jack feels enmity towards Ralph. Ralph began to organize a plan to be rescued. Ralph decided early on that boys should behave like men and have rules. Rules had to be followed, Ralph spoke up, “We have rules! Lots of rules! Then when someone breaks them-” (p. 33) followed by an uproar from the crowd of choir members. The shell has become the symbol of speech, if you had the shell you could speak. Ralph made a blatant observation: “I said before that sooner or later we will be saved. We just have to wait, that's all” (p. 43). The choristers made a taboo move to break up the assembly by running up the mountain to light the fire. Making Ralph's plan inscrutable due to the outbreak. As the fire burned half the mountain, Ralph looked down the slopes of the mountain to find green branches to make smoke with. Jack took the smoking remark as ridiculous and oppressive, Ralph replied, “I was talking about smoking! Don't you want to be saved... middle of paper... shining from chin to knee; the shell exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, without time even for a grunt, traveled through the air sideways to the rock, turning as he went” (p. 181). Ralph barely uttered a moan at his loss, looking only at the bright lights of the ships to their rescue. The President has many responsibilities for the well-being of everyone in the country. As soon as the boys landed on the island, Ralph demonstrated his leadership skills by being the first to speak up and the first to take a stand when something went wrong. Golding beautifully points out that without leadership, any of today's authority groups would cease to exist. During his time on the island, the reader learned that Ralph has the right frame of mind that he would be able to lead the country as a national leader.
