The Fight for Power
Ralph and Jack begin to bicker. The fight for power is apparent to all. They argue over which is more important, shelter or food. Jack promises he can deliver food as he is an experienced hunter. Ralph seems to have adopted Piggy as a sort of advisor, but Jack uses this to his advantage by reminding the others that Piggy missed spotting the rescue helicopter. Jack and Ralph order all of the other boys to meet at a spot nearby to discuss the situation.
