Character
Warner: Ohhh, cos Ralph is like the person in the book that has the most power over everyone else. He just has the leadership skills and uses them for the good of the group. He also possesses common sense.
Keith: Yeah, he does seem like a pretty good leader.
‘The fire is the most important thing on the island. How can we ever be rescued except by luck, if we don’t keep a fire going?
Here Ralph is using his authority to try and get the group to make a fire, which will help the group being rescued. He is doing this for the good of the group. He shows consideration for others, not just himself, in contrary to Jack.
Warner: Don’t forget a leader also needs common sense to make the right decisions.
Keith: Well, I’m sure that Ralph has common sense.
‘We’re silly. Why should we only two go? If we find anything, it won’t be enough’ ~Ralph (to the group discussing about how many people should go to confront the beast’ pg 148
Ralph is using his common sense because it seems too risky to send only two people to confront the new threat – the beast. A normal leader should such as Ralph, obviously thinks of the threats and sees ways to deal with it. He reflects on his decisions and is usually one of the first to comment on the fact that something is wrong.
Keith: I found evidence of both of these qualities!!
‘Listen everybody. I’ve got to have time to think things out. I can’t decide what to do straight off” ~ Ralph pg 31
Here, Ralph knows that he should not think his immediate feelings and decisions; he also has the common sense to tell everyone to give him sometime to think. Ralph knows what to do and what he is capable of, just like a proper leader.
Ralph is a natural leader and also a logical thinker who uses common sense to make decisions.
Keith: Yeah, he does seem like a pretty good leader.
