Ralph has found a "conch" (P.21), and has used it to call all the boys on the island together. This is where Jack is introduced into "Lord of the Flies"

"Something dark was fumbling along" (P.26). This refers to the choir walking along the beach in the distance. This use of language shows us that the choir is dark, evil, and sinister, and immediately Golding tells us that this group will not be a "good" force on the island. The choir are a militaristic group - "marching approximately?with a hambone frill" (P.26). This shows us that their leader is in total control of the group. This leader is Jack -

There are many major comparisons which need to be made concerning Jack and (most of the time) Ralph. Most of the differences are about Rescue against Hunting. Jack sees the use of the fire as one of cooking meat - "the pig roasted" (P.92), while Ralph sees the fire as a signal fire for rescue - "We must make smoke" (P.49). Throughout the novel, Ralph sticks to the rules in hope of rescue - "We?ll have rules" (P.43), while on page 114, Jacks gives up on the rules - "Bollocks to the rules!" Ralph sees the rules as a form of law and order, while Jack sees the rules as an opportunity to carry out punishment - "Then when anyone breaks ?em---" (P.44). Ralph wants to dismiss the rumour of the beast - "There isn?t a beastie" (P.47), while Jack wants to kill the beast - "we?d hunt it and kill it" (P.48). Jack paints his face to help him hunt and make people fear him - "He smeared on the clay" (P.79), while no-one else does until a later stage in the book. On page sixty-eight, Jack shouts "Got it!" Ralph immediately presumes that he is referring to a ship - "What? Where? Is it a ship?" (P.68), but Jack is talking about a pig - "They?ll lie up there (the pigs)" (P.68). This clearly shows the difference in priorities between Jack and Ralph. Jacks wants to live naturally, under the guidance of natural time. This shows us he is quite happy to forget civilization and rescue. As an opposite, Piggy wants to make a sundial - "We could make a sundial" (P.81). This shows Piggy wants to remain living under clock time, to show that he is still living in a civilized world, and that he wants to be rescued. The differences between Jack and the others are summed up on page seventy - "They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling, unable to communicate."

When the matter of the beast arises, Jack says that he doesn?t think there is a beast, "but if there is, we?d hunt it and kill it" (P.48). Jacks takes on the responsibility of protecting the group from the beast here, and it also shows the bloodthirsty nature of Jack. Again, by taking on this role, Jack commands respect from the group. He also does this by saying "We?ll be responsible for keeping the fire going" (P.55). He does this to improve his status amongst the group, and also the get on the good side of Ralph, who sees the signal fire as the most important thing on the island. He wants to be seen as a responsible person as well as a brave person.
