Final answer:
In 'Lord of the Flies,' the vestige of friendship and civility between Jack and Ralph during their initial scuffle is indicated by the restraint they show, still influenced by the moral values of their past society.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Lord of the Flies, when Jack and Ralph first meet and have a confrontation with their spears, the vestige of friendship and civility remaining is reflected in how they are still somewhat bound by the rules and moral values of the society from which they came. Although they scramble and exhibit primal aggression, they do not fully engage in a battle to the death; there remains some restraint, showing they have not entirely forsaken all elements of their previously learned behaviors and the bonds formed early in their relationship on the island. Even in the deterioration of their society on the island, traces of their old lives and civility hold them back, if only temporarily, from committing atrocious acts against one another.
