The Lord Of The Flies: Personal Reflections
Journal I
If I were among the boys on the island I would vote for Piggy as leader.
Although he is not one of the bigger boys, and seems to be put down all the
time, I think that he is the smartest. He would be able to think of ways to
be saved.
The problem with having Piggy chosen as leader is that he is smaller,

Anger and frustration filled my body. I ...

when working. This would be a great
advantage over the boys. They would not kill each other, as Jack and Roger
did to Piggy, and almost to Ralph. They would be more open with ideas, as
they gossip more than boys. This would allow more ideas and thus lead to
different possibilities.
Throughout the story, Jack and the other hunter's display cruelty to

in not as much trouble.
In all, I think that the girls would not have been saved as fast the
boys were. Chances are that they would have not been able to start a fire.
