Chp. 3 M.E.A.T

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the author shows Jack and Ralph's to be one with both many disagreement s on priorities and differences in beliefs.
"Rescue? Yes, of course! All the same, I'd like to catch a pig first-" He snatched up his spear and dashed it into the ground. The opaque, mad look came into his eyes again. Ralph looked at him critically through his tangle of fair hair." Pg. 53. This quote shows the difference between Ralph's and Jacks opinion. Jacks first priority is to catch a pig whereas Ralph wants to build a shelter and get rescued.
"I was talking about smoke! Don't you want to be rescued? All you can talk about is pig,pig,pig!" "But we all want meat!" This quote shows that Jack believes everyone wants meat. On the other hand, Ralph believes everyone wants shelter and to be rescued.
All in all, both Jack and Ralph have their difference in beliefs. In time though, they might find a way to bring their two beliefs together.
