Lord Of The Flies Style Analysis

A group of people needs a leader to keep order. Whether this leader would be good or bad, they are who the group revolves around. A good leader must keep order and lead their group to success. Keep in mind that no leaders are perfect. Each will have their strengths and weaknesses. This is the case within the real world and Lord of the Flies.
