How and why did Jack disrupt the meeting? What is the core of the power struggle between Ralph and Jack? What techniques of anarchy and disruption does Jack apply? What is the result and what does it tell about the characters of Ralph and Jack?
Jack disrupted the meeting because he was tired of Ralph talking so much especially upon the fire that Jack let go out. Jack wanted his chance to be heard and not only Ralph. Jack also disrupts the meeting when he gets up and is getting everyone all roared up about being frightened with the "beasts" . The core of the power struggle between Ralph and Jack is that they both want to be in charge and want everyone to follow them. Ralph wants everyone to think about how they are going to be rescued if they don't have luck and he wants everyone to just have order and follow what he says because he is chief. Jack on the other hand wants everyone to think about hunting and killing and he wants them to believe that being frightened is ignorant because he has been through the forest and has not seen one beast. The techniques of anarchy and disruption that Jack applies is during every meeting he talks about hunting and killing and he is always the only one that is so rude to Piggy. Jack is not always around anymore because he is always going hunting trying to kill pigs. The result of this is that everyone is now splitting up and deciding which side they are on, Jack or Ralph's. What this tells about Jack and Ralph is that Jack is no longer such a great leader he tries to use force for the wrong reasons and all he can think about is hunting and nothing more. What it tells about Ralph is that he is the more concerned one about everyone getting off the island. Being on the island has caused Ralph to become a better leader in the head but he is never able to make meetings go his way. Jack uses force and is mean so everyone always listens to him because their afraid.
