In the book, Ralph asks Piggy on p. 139 “What makes things break up like they do?” This question is how Jack believed that Ralph was not a good leader, he wanted to overtake him so he went off in his own.
In the book, The Lord of The Flies, the boys encountered the “beast.” Jack tries to form a meeting by blowing the conch. He argues saying how Ralph shouldn’t be chief anymore, but nobody listens to him so Jack storms off. While Ralph and Piggy were trying to figure out a solution to be rescued, Jack had his boys already going out hunting. Ralph was starting to “miss” Jack saying he would come back when it’s sunset. Ralph didn 't realize they all left until later.
In the meantime, Simon wasn’t technically believing

We are trapped in one place and we all won’t always agree to what we have to do in order to be rescued. We all have our opinions, at the end of the day we should all just help each other and work together. Things break up like they do because we all have different ideas and opinions that not everyone would agree with. This makes others frustrated. For example, on page 127, Jack stated "Who thinks Ralph oughtn 't to be chief?" He looked expectantly at the boys ranged round, who had frozen. Under the palms there was deadly silence. "Hands up," said Jack strongly, "whoever wants Ralph not to be chief?" Nobody respond to Jack, which got him angry that nobody agreed to him so he left. However, things can work out too, doesn 't necessarily mean that things never work out. Ralph and his "team" agreed when Piggy mentioned they can make a fire on the mountain. When Piggy thought of this idea, everyone got happy including the littuns ' jumping, dancing, and singing. This brought leadership skills or an idea on what to do which brought their "team" together. While Jack and his "team" were hunting and got something to eat for everyone that he offered even though he was trying to get people on his side, but he wasn 't letting them
[Ralph] is like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn’t a proper chief”[ Golding, 138]. By saying this, Jack is showing the other boys that to survive you need to hunt and be strong, not use your brain. This paints a negative image in the little boys and about Ralph and Piggy, resulting in Jack looking like the best.
I believe that jack felt assame and the tried to make himself feel better by telling Ralph to go
After ralph and piggy journey to the other tribe they are met by hostile savages who wouldn't listen to reason. “ Jack backed against the tribe and they were a solid mass of menace. ”(pg.180). The author shows how jack now has complete control of the boys and how they are backing him up and wont go with the side of reason. At this point in the book Jacks power is at its height and he has made all the boys sever their own ties to being civilized.”
Jack and Ralph go back and forth about what Jack said and at the end of it Jack thinks that Ralph should’ve never got elected as chief. The other children think he deserved to be chief. This statement turned Jack red. Everyone has their certain role or task they should be part of or doing throughout the whole
He formed his own tribe, which planned to hunt down Ralph’s group. Eventually, that dispute for leadership in the beginning led to Piggy’s life being lost. The second way that this book relates to the quote is that Ralph was thought of highly because of his leadership capabilities and his acceptance towards others. In the first chapter, Ralph is promptly elected
Ralph was the leader of the civilized group, and Jack was the leader of the savage and bloodthirsty hunting group. Important arguments between the civilized boys and savage boys come up in three important moments throughout the book: when the signal fire is allowed to go out and a boat passes by the island, when Jack leaves the civilized group to create his group of savages, and when the savages steal Piggy’s glasses to make their own fire. The first key moment near the beginning of the book shows the growing tension between civilization and savagery. It comes up when
However, Jack does not show good leadership in the choir. He is very bossy, and they are more of an army squad than of a choir. When Ralph blows the conch to call everyone on the island, the boys introduce themselves to one another. Afterward, they decide on electing a chief. Jack is the first one to nominate himself.
Although Jack was the most natural leader and Piggy was probably the smartest of the group, the boys voted Ralph as their chief. Jack’s jealousy is evident after Ralph is chosen as chief when he “disappeared under a blush of mortification” (Golding 23). In the first days and weeks on the
Even though Ralph and Jack managed to cooperate, Jack held that little grudge of being chief against Ralph which is also what fueled his hatred for Ralph more. By building up this hatred, he “All at once the crowd swayed toward the island and was gone-following Jack. … Ralph was
In the quote above, Ralph is attempting to hide when the boys pass by him. Jack however notices him and Ralph realizes this may be the end. Jack, along with his tribe and their spears and painted faces run down Ralph through the forest even setting it on fire. In the end Ralph ends up being saved by luck, running into an officer. If it were not for the officer, Jack’s evilness would have got the best of him, and Ralph would not have survived.
The reason why Jack left Ralphs, group, was that Jack did not like how Ralph had all the power to himself, he felt like he cannot make his own decisions to impact the group. Jack feels that he could become a much better leader, so he decided to leave the group to create his own. Jack feels like he is being ambushed by those in the group, so he left the group which caused a negative impact on Ralph and his tribe members. As Jack shows in the chapter “Gift from the Darkness” that he stormed into the forest after he was declined by the children in the group, he was trying to take over the role of chief. As he ran way he stated to the children “anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too”, he knows that his friends, the choir will join later on.
After the boys catch their first glimpse at what they imagined was the beast, Jack calls his own assembly to address the issue. As Jack leads his own meeting instead of Ralph, he immediately exerts this new authority in an attempt to overthrow Ralph as chief, exclaiming, “He’s like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn 't a proper chief,” (Golding 92).
After Jack and his choir agree to tend to the signal fire, Ralph spots a potential rescue ship but finds that Jack’s group let the fire go out as they went on a pig hunt, making Ralph extremely enraged and disappointed. Whereas previously there were only minor arguments that resolved quickly and easily that did not damage their relationship much, this marks the official beginning of the conflict of Ralph against Jack. After this incident was yet another turning point. What started off as an assembly “to put things straight” resulted in Jack disputing Ralph’s authority and leading everyone away in a show of clear mutiny. This shows that Jack is distancing himself and the group away from Jack.
He was being treated unfairly and the boys picked on him but he endured it as much as he could. He complained about how he was being treated while holding the conch, but if the boys treated Jack the way they treated Piggy, he would have gotten physical about it. Conjointly, before Simon's murder takes place, everyone feast on the pig that Jack and his hunters killed. After they ate things started to get intense between Ralph and Jack. Fortunately, Piggy was there to stop it.
Having a war or something?" (Golding 207) Jack and his Tribe's fire, though out of control and dangerous is more effective in being seen. This is contradictory to the goal that Ralph and Piggy keep reiterating, get rescued. Ralph's Government is ineffective, even in it's main pillar of
