In the last few chapters of the novel lord of the flies all of the boys on the island except for Piggy, Sam, and Eric, leave Ralph to go join Jacks tribe. They leave Ralph because they feel that Jack will protect them from the beast. Then in the beginning of chapter 12 Roger ties up Sam and Eric and forces them to join their tribe. When the boys first got on the island Ralph was voted leader and had many good ideas. The conch was his first idea which represents who is going to talk. Piggy is very fond of this rule because then the boys have to let him speak. Then Ralph comes up with the fire that represents getting saved. Then Jack gets focused more on getting meat and killing rather than getting saved. Throughout the story you can tell that Jack gets a little bit wilder every day and he becomes violent. I believe that if there is not a person that is mostly in control then the world would be chaotic. I think this world needs someone in the middle. Someone who doesn’t have complete control, but someone people will listen to. I think the biggest mistake the boys on the island had was when they picked Ralph to be in charge. I think some of the boys didn’t real like Ralph but got out voted. If you don’t have a society that fully agrees, then the society is definitely going to have problems.
