6 0

In the first stanza the speaker stands before an old Grecian urn and speaks to it. He is concerned with the picture frozen in time. It is the "still unravishe'd bride of quietness" the "foster child of silence and slow time". He also describes the urn as a historian that can tell a story. He wants to know about the pictures on the side of the urn and ask what legend it can tell and from where they come. He saw a picture of a group of men chasing a group of women and wonders what a mad pursuit? What struggle to run away?

Who from "Lord of the Flies" do you think would make the best leader?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

I personally think Ralph but others may think differently

Explanation:

To be a good leader, one must cater to the people while still being responsible and taking charge. In the story “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding, a group of boys get stuck on an island without adults from a plane crash. Two of the main characters, Ralph and Jack, wish to be leader, but eventually end up splitting into two groups that result in a bit of a rivalry. Between the two, Ralph is a much better leader.

Ralph cares more for the boys than Jack. When mentioned, Ralph shut down the idea of the beast in attempt for the boys not to worry, “But I tell you there isn’t a beast!” (Golding, pg. 36) Jack let them believe in the beast, “but if there was a snake we’d hunt it and kill it.” (pg. 36) This shows that Ralph doesn’t want the others to think it is possible so they don’t fear and only focus on the beast, while Jack lets them believe in the beast and fear it. Ralph accepted and listened to everyone, including Piggy, but Jack always shut Piggy down for no good reason and punished anyone that wouldn’t listen to him, trying to take complete control of them like they were his puppets.
