Rowing Through the Waters of Hatred

Lord of the Flies is a book about boys that are stranded on an island, and some how they have choose a leader and try and survive. Ralph is the leader and none of the boys like him. They dont think that he is a good leader, and that he is annoying in how he makes them tend to the fire and keep water. In crew, we row in doubles singles and quads. In a double and a quad, there is a bow. That is the person that is the leader of the boat and tells the other people what to do. If you dont like your bow then your most likely not going to listen to them, and just ignore them. This is like lord of the flies when they dont feel the need to listen to Ralph. Even though they didnt want to listen to them, some of them had to listen to him because theyd idnt want to go in Jacks group. You may not feel the need to listen to the bow, but you have to because that is the person that guides you through the scary waters of the lake. Just like Ralph and Jack had to cope with each other even though the greatly disliked one another, we as humans have to do that. just because i do not like someone does not mean i wont listen to them. It can put our lives in jeproady. Today when we went rowing, all of a sudden it became really windy and it started to rain and lightening. we were in the water, so somehow we had to work together to get back on land, even if this ment rowing against the wind. There were people complaining and almost in tears in my boat because they were so scared, but we all had to get it together and work as a team. It worked and we got back safely to land!
