Use your understanding of character and theme to examine the relationship between Ralph and Piggy and what it might suggest about the rules and challenges of friendship.
I'm sorry, you have not included the excerpt in your post. Please include all information when posting your questions.
Jack’s first interaction with the other boys on the island is as leader of the choir. He maintains control of that same group of boys for most of the book, transforming them into hunters. Jack mocks the use of first names, insisting he be called “Merridew,” but it does not stick. When Ralph is elected leader it is basically just because he has the conch, because Jack is the natural leader.
Jack cedes power to Ralph, grudgingly and partially. His reaction to the suggestion that the group obey the leader with the conch demonstrates his personality and his view of power.
