The thirst for power in Jack throughout the novel was shown when he does not follow simple rules that are for survival and being recused. Instead he went against those rules.

We see this in Chapter 9 on page 164 when Golden writes “Before the party had started a great log had been dragged into the centre of the lawn and Jack, painted and garlanded, sat there like an idol.

He is high and mighty on the big log compared to everyone else. Jack is unlike Ralph when it comes to leading because Jack doesn’t give a single crap and doesn’t take the pride that Ralph does. For example, Ralph holds assembly’s to get everyone together so they can talk about things that are happening and things that need
