From the point of view of a boy on the island,a letter from Jack telling Ralph to step down as their leader. please explain and include quotes...

I do not disagree with the first answer, but I do not think it is the only way to go (and it is not the first way that comes to mind for me).  From the point of view of one of the other boys, I would center my letter on the idea that Ralph's way is only important if we think we're going to be rescued and we need to be civilized.


I would be talking about the idea that we are stuck on this island and will live the rest of our lives here.  I would talk about how civilization and stuff like that is for adults and school and not for times when we are on our own and don't have to act like the adults.


To me, this would be like a letter to someone who keeps wanting us to study during vacation.  It would be something like "calm down already and stop being such an overachiever.  It's time to have fun so stop nagging at us..."
