Chapter Five of Lord of the Flies finds Ralph frustrated that he cannot be the leader that he would like to be. And, as the boys regress into discord and disorder, Ralph understands the urgency for an assembly to re-establish order; however, at the same time he realizes that he is unable to think as logically as Piggy, who, unfortunately does not have the other qualities requisite for a chief.
