The conch also gave each individual boy the power to talk while holding on to it. The Sow's head showed authority in the novel by manipulating the boys by using threats and fears. Ralph was the elected leader of the boys. He didn't strive for the power like Jack, it kind of fell into his hands. His power was very strong in the beginning of the novel but as Jack began to rebel against Ralph, the rest of the boys went along with him.
Right here Jack already tries to imply that his choir is more savage than the rest of the boys by calling them hunters. Secondly, Jack once again expresses his need for control by going against the rules that were instilled among the boys in the beginning of the book. Jack says, “Bollocks to the rules! Were strong- we hunt…we’ll close in and beat and beat and beat,” (Golding 99). The excessive control demonstrated by the boys undoubtedly supports the idea that humans are innately evil, and it is also shown in many other ways such as how the boys mistreat each other.
(Golding 82). Jack publicly makes fun of the littluns. Jack disrespects the other boys' feelings, making them feel inferior and acting as if their fears are a sign of weakness. The younger boys' feelings of inferiority force them to follow Jack's orders, for fear of being punished or threatened if they go against his ideas. Jack's second anarchist method of leadership is made up of his passion for brutal hunting.
However it is not. This is foreshadowing the moments later on in the novel as the boys become wild. Especially as they begin to kill animals and people which is a sign of there start to savagery and its not how people expect young boys
Lord of the Flies by William Golding is about surviving on a deserted island after a boarding school charter plane got shot down in the midst of WWII. The only survivors are the young boys who are then stranded on the island to fend for themselves. The boys, like Jack, Ralph, Piggy, and Simon, make their own government in the beginning but then struggle to keep the order. Eventually the group brakes apart and order is symbolically gone within the boys as they turn savage because of the beast within them. The boys seem to lose all control of the tribe and of themselves.
“[…] Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true wise friend called Piggy” (182). This quote shows that Ralph has realized that he will never be the dame since he lost his innocence and learned that evil is in all human beings. In Golding’s Lord of the Flies a group of boys gets crashed onto an island and struggles to survive. Ralph is entitled leader, but the Jack disagrees and decides to run his own group. The boys start to fight and have mini war.
In the early twentieth century William Golden show us how a human becomes a beast when one of the elements of personality trouble through his great novel The Lord of the Flies . he represent this side through lost children in an island without any adult.

The Lord of the Flies , is a novel about a plane evacuating a group of schoolboys from Britain is shot down over a deserted island. Two of the boys, Ralph and Piggy meets and discovers a conch shell on the beach.
They are but silly boys who spend their time fighting each other. Lespere is a man. He may not do what is best fanatically but he does do what is the most pleasurable for himself. Lespere is a man how would stay up all night chatting with his friends. I think that Applegate and Hollis are very jealous of Lespere’s life, if not I would be if I was in their position.
He thinks of building shelters to protect them and to start a fire for their rescue. He becomes friend with Piggy, the fat boy that receives taunts and teases from the other boy, and gets used to rely on Piggy's intellectual reasoning. Ralph is brave when the occasion presents it, but he really miss for the secure world of adults, especially when order starts to break down on the island. He dreams about a rescue and insists that the signal fire always has to burn so that they can be seen.
