Ralph was selected chief

In the novel Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, Ralph is elected chief at the first meeting.

Ralph is elected as the chief but Jack assumes the role of chief of the hunters.

Ralph, after he is elected chief at their first meeting.

In the newer movie, it is because Ralph has a higher rank at their military school, but in the book, it is because Ralph had the conch

The boys Elected Ralph Chief after meeting at the platform at the begining of the book. This is when they realize it was Ralph who blew the shell and called them there.

When Ralph is elected leader he offers Jack the consolation prize of being in charge of the former choir and choosing what he would like them to be.

Ralph is elected as the chief but Jack, no longer content with just controling his hunters, later apoints himself as a rival chief.

Piggy finds the conch and Ralph calls a meeting. Ralph gets elected as chief.

Ralph is elected chief during the very first meeting, which happens very early in the book.

At first, through majority vote, Ralph is elected to be chief, yet towards the end of the book, Jack gains dominance over Ralph, consequently, more people start to follow Jack and address him as chief instead.

Ralph assumed the role of chief to start out with after he was elected by the other boys. Jack was always power hungry and eventually started his own "tribe" in which he was the chief.

how dose ralph reclaim his position as chief in lord of the flies

Because he blew the conch and every one came to him so they all look up to him now.

Ralph is the legimately elected chief and although Jack has won over the boys to join his tribe by a combination of threats and bribery he fears that while Ralph lives there will always be a risk of the boys rejoining Ralph.

During the first meeting, which was held in chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell, Ralph was elected as the chief. Later in the book Jack formed his own tribe and appointed himself as chief.

He puts Jack in charge of the choir and asks Jack what he wishes them to be, to which Jack replies "Hunters."

Ralph becomes the chief in the first chapter after there is a vote between Ralph and Jack.

Ralph is the chief because he got voted to be chief by everybody else in chapter 1 Ralph was also elected because he was holding the conch, and the conch is a symbol of authority. Jack would have been a bad choice for chief because Jack is mean and uses force instead of reasoning. Ralph is a very caring person and Ralph knows what they need to do in order to stay alive and possibly…

Ralph does not have a 'tribe.' Jack calls his group of hunters his tribe but Ralph has no name for the boys who originally elected him as their chief. By chapter 10: the only named biguns who still remain near the shelters with Ralph are Piggy and the Twins, Samneric.

Jack knows that Ralph was elected to be the chief and is both popular and likeable. Although Jack has overthrown him he fears that Ralph will eventually regain control. While Ralph remains alive he will always pose a possible threat to Jack's leadership. The only way that Jack feels that he can be certain of maintaining his own authority is by removing Ralph permanently, by killing him.

The first Chief was Ralph, the boy with fair hair.

He voted for Ralph.

Because he knows that Ralph is the only thing that is preventing Jack from becoming chief and he fears what might happen if Jack did become chief.

Ralph is chosen as the chief because he is the one with the conch shell and he called everyone together with it, therefore, he is seen as a leading figure.

As chief(leader).

He voted for Ralph "grudgingly".

At the meeting in chapter 1 when Roger suggested that they should vote for a leader there were only two candidates; Ralph and Jack. The choir voted for Jack but the rest of the boys, who must have out numbered the choir, voted for Ralph and he was elected as the chief.

Although hardly a 'conflict' there are two boys who both wish to be leader at the first meeting. Roger suggests a vote and Ralph is elected to be the chief. Ralph then appoints Jack to be in charge of the former choir and allows him to chose what their new role will be, which is hunters.

The vote was between Jack and Ralph. When all the boys voted they chose Ralph as their leader. :)

because Jack and Ralph both want to be chief and Jack is jealous of Ralph

That Ralph is still chief.

When Ralph is elected to be chief he knows Jack is dissapointed (as Jack also wished to be chief) so he appoints Jack as leader of the choir and asks him what he wants them to be, to which Jack replies, "hunters."

The boy who blew the conch...

There are two conflicts in Lord of the Flies. Person Vs. Person (Ralph Vs. Jack) Person Vs. Society (Piggy as an outcast Vs. Other boys) Alternative answer: The major conflict is between the rule of law and order as exemplified by the democratic process presided over by the elected leader Ralph and the alternative tribal hunting system run by self proclaimed chief Jack.

The conch still exists and is still in its rightful place on the 'chief's seat', on the platform. Ralph choses to sit on the ground facing it, which probably symbolises an admission by Ralph that the democracy which the conch represents, and which elected him to the position of chief, no longer functions. Alternatively perhaps Ralph feels that, after taking part in Simon's murder he is no longer worthy of the title of chief. So…

The islanders unanimously vote for Ralph, to Jack's disdain.

Ostensibly it is Ralph, although his position is challenged later in the story by Jack

They were fighting to becoming better chief in the island

At the beginning Ralph is elected Chief, but Jack gains more and more control throughout the book, and ends up stripping Ralph of his title, leaving him alone. At the end, when the boys are rescued by the Naval officer, Ralph declares himself Chief and nobody disagrees, even Jack stays quiet.

No but, in chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness, Jack did ask the rest of the boys to put their hands up if they didn't want Ralph to be chief anymore. None of the boys raised their hands.

He thinks a chief needs to be able to think and be wise. He also needs to be able to make quick decisions. :)

The boys in â??The Lord of Fliesâ?? decide on their officers and committees in the first meeting on the island. Ralph was elected Chief and Jack was chosen to be in charge of the hunting party. Piggy is charged with getting all the boysâ?? names.

Ralph feels that it is his duty as chief to cross the causeway to castle rock alone, so that if the beast is there only one boy, himself, will be at risk.

After Ralph won the election to be chief, leaving jack as the losing candidate, Ralph placed Jack in charge of the choir and allowed Jack to choose what he wished them to be. Jack chose, "Hunters."

Several. At first, a sort of Direct Democracy. Ralph is elected chief. He hears the people's concern's directly through the "assemblies". One must take into account however that if Ralph didn't see the logic in any outside suggestions, they have no political means of having their requests pushed through. As it falls under Jack's rule, it becomes more of a despotism.

At the beginning of the book, there is debate on who should be chief. Jack asserts that he should be chief, but Roger puts in that they should have a vote. Everyone agrees that there should be a vote, and everyone votes for Ralph. Ralph becomes chief and he is chief until the very end, when Jack makes his own tribe and mostly all of the boys join him except for Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric…

Jack tries to kill Ralph because he knows that the only one left that can stop me from becoming the chief on the island is Ralph. Ralph not only has the conch (borken later on throughout the novel), but his existence is a threat to Jack's savagery ways.

Jack knows that Ralph was elected to be the chief and is both popular and likeable. Although Jack has overthrown him he fears that Ralph will eventually regain control. While Ralph remains alive he will always pose a possible threat to Jack's leadership. The only way that Jack feels that he can be certain of maintaining his own authority is by removing Ralph permanently, by killing him.
