How do the boys chose a leader Lord of the flies?

Answer 1

The boys in his choir do vote for Jack to be their leader but to the rest of the boys he is just a stranger. Although Ralph is also a stranger to them he was the one who blew the conch and called them to the meeting. Because of this many of them seem to think that he is the obvious choice to be leader, as he has actually been seen to have made an attempt to organsise things.

Answer 2

In any society, people need someone to look to for decisions. That is just the way people are. The boys needed someone to make their decisions for them, and, when it came to it, blame things on. It also delighted them to think that they could create a society by themselves without anyone else. Having a leader is the first step to that. Eventually the boys just disintigrated into a wild mob and their leader became the person that led them on, that inspired them to do awful things. A leader is always there to give inspiration, and that can be good or bad. Just look at history. Look at Hitler. Look at Napoleon.

At least, that was how I understood it. Please add to this because sometimes this is just someone's opinion.
