Our land...

As Ralph looks down from the top of the bastion of the island, he exclaims, "This belongs to us!" Much like an explorer discovering a new land, Ralph has found himself in charge of a new world--an island of boys. What advice would you give Ralph to keep in mind as he is chief? What is the main thing he must do? Why? (The deadline to post a response is midnight, Wednesday, April  10, 2012.)

We know that Ralph is very much like a dictator, so I would tell him to listen to the boys. If he is going to be the leader he needs to protect them and ensure their safety among many other things that are essential to survive. I would tell Ralph to be mature, listen to the boys, talk with them, protect the boys and himself and to be patient that help will come. The main thing that Ralph must do however is to listen as previously stated. He is not as concerned with the boys feelings or wants as with his own. Listening to the boys ensures that he will be able to connect with them, so that they can trust him and they will all be more of a help to one another and they will have a better chance for survival.

I would tell Ralph to lead by example. He needs to be a good example so he can gain the respect of the other boys. They are going to need to work together to survive, so the main thing he must do is make sure they stay on task and not play around.
