Raulph vs. Jack
When we coonsider about the situation children had, the wise leader may be Jack,but not Raulph. Ralph was the most ideal and intelligent boy but there's not any ground(reason) that he must be the leader. Only, WE wants him to the leader in story. The situation which has almost no possibility for rescue, Raulph granted authority to thr conch and open conferences, which is far away from the reality they have in the island. In contrast, Jack has resolution and brave
to destruck the danger(living in the island). In the inhibitat island, the thing that threaten their lives was 'hunger'. Therefore, Jack recognized that gettings foods is the most urgent emergency,and the problem.
If they were in generous and normal society, Raulph would be the right leader. But he adhered civilized rules and life to the people who have to survive from hunger. It seemed foolish. Also, his style of ruling was some kind of imitaion of how the adults rule our society these days. So, there was limit to lead them, and the children left him one by one. And later he realize everything he learned in school such as morality, sense of value and forms weren't helpful but useless to these children and situation.
But Jack was very realistic. First, he broke all the rules and customs they had, and he gather the children with the name 'freedom'. They slept, played and hunt any time. It shows Jack realized the form of 'primitive right' is mostly formed and realated with the subsistence. So, he also aimed for 'eat heartily'. Jack make them recognize that: at least, if they follow them they won't starve; Also by painting face with blood and paint, realeases their shame and inferiority. Then, he promote the fear and don't let them get outfrom his group. Jack plants some fear and remind them who the real leader.

There was quite a comparison between Jack and Ralph. I think it was really creative that you've compared both their personalitites and differences. There were so many to see from and some that i didnt realize until you've told us.
So Ralph was the general right leader for society but Jack had influenced others in the civilization to join him because at desperate needs people need the leaders to take a big leap.
GOOD JOB
LUV YOU <3333333333
