Leaders and Friends 19/9/00

A good friend should be trustworthy, kind, generous and should always be there for you if you need help. A good friend will always stick up for you in a crisis and will always help you out if you have a problem. It is not essential but a friend might have similar hobbies or interests as you. I think in Lord of the Flies, The "littleuns" all seem to get on well with one another as do most of the "biguns". There was however a conflict of interest between them as to what must take priority; build a shelter, start a fire, hunt for food etc. They must ALL get along reasonably well however if they are to survive on the island. If they did not, there would be anarchy A leader however, is different. He must be able to take charge easily and be strong-willed. He must not make business personal and be a very fair and just individual. He must also have then respect of those he leads and stay in control at all times. From Lord of the Flies, I think Ralph would make the best leader because he has the respect of his friends and of the "littleuns", i.e. They all come running the instant he blows the conch.
