Chapter One:The Sound of the Shell
"A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be."
I think the boys choose there Chief based upon how powerful Ralph appears to them and that the fact he is the one holding the conch. To the others the conch represents power and authority, ultimately leading them to choose Ralph as there chief. He was the one who blew the conch, attracting all the other boys on the island. Also I think they choose him because he was the oldest, making the others think he was the wisest and smartest. For the boys to succeed on this island there will have to be a lot of teamwork and good instructions from there chief. Besides just telling them what to do, Ralph will have to step up and teach them survival skills, ways to be rescued, how to act in case of an emergency, how to work together, and much more! I believe a group council would have been a better choice in this situation, because it would have brought a lot more ideas together, and there would be more people so they could help out in different situations.
