A change in the tribe

Jack was talking about finding the beast with Ralph and Piggy. He started talking about how they aren’t afraid when there isn’t light out, and that the Hunters could go out and get it. Then Ralph made a comment on how they were just boys with sticks. Which in turn made Jack furious, and from that he called a meeting for the boys. He starts talking about how the beast is a hunter, but also starts off lying about how Ralph was a coward. Jack spouted out all this stuff about how Ralph stayed back when he and Simon went on ahead. Feeding all these lies to everyone that Ralph isn’t fit to be chief. So he tries to turn everyone against Ralph so that he could become chief. But when he asks who thinks Ralph shouldn’t be chief, no one raises their hand. He becomes even more enraged from their response that he storms off saying that he’ll do things on his own since no one chose him. It was all a big surprise to all of them so they were too stunned to do anything about it. Except for piggy that was ecstatic about Jack leaving. He was also able to give them advice on how to get a fire going and more plans to better help them survive. He also helped them build a new fire. While building a new signal fire almost all the older boys slipped away into the forest after Jack. While leaving Ralph, Simon, Piggy, and some of the littluns.
In my opinion this was the most interesting part in the chapter because even though no one voted for Jack all the older boys went with him. I’m pretty sure they went with Jack because he got the first pig and fed them pork, but they didn’t want that many rules either. What I’m not sure of is why they didn’t pick him as chief when he asked. If they had then they would have been following his rules too and they would have everyone with them. I think that all the people that went with Jack are relying on their evil natures instead of their rational nature.
