"Maybe ... there is a beast ... maybe it's only us."
William Golding
"William Golding’s novel had on the innocent and introspective girl that I was then. I would look down from my dormitory room window onto a campus dominated by fraternities with their obscure, occasionally cruel, rituals. Golding’s fable began to take on a more complicated meaning for me."
Lois Lowry, The NYtimes

A Power Battle Between Ralph and Jack
Ralph and Jack have completely different personalities and leadership styles. One of them is a democratic leader, and the other is a totalitarian leader. Ralph as a democratic leader always considers the majorities, which earned him the respect from his group. The majority believe him and accept whatever he says without questioning (Golding 36). He has a big vision and shares his plans to help everyone survive on the island during the first election meeting. His practical and mature personality gained hims trust from some boys who never knew Ralph before.
