JACK WONTHE BATTLE OF POWER. In this chapter Ralph experiences a loss of innocence because he turned from a positive leader into a savage just like Jack. He feels the same emotions that Jack did when he went hunting for the first time, meaning that maybe Ralph and Jack aren't that different after all. Ralph is fighting against his own internal thoughts to either do what he knows is right, or to become just like the majority of the boys.

A QOUTE FOR PROOF: " Ralph too was fighting to get near, to get a handful of that brown, vulnerable flesh. The desire to squeeze and hurt was over mastering." ( Golding 104)
