In, "Lord of The Flies," by William Golding, characters Ralph and Jack, have crash landed in an island. They are out in the middle of the ocean, along with a dozen other younger boys. In this kind of situation, the boys need a leader. Ralph has democratic way of leading, and good character traits. Comparatively, Jack has a forceful, brute personality.
