The nature of mankind has been explored endlessly. Human nature is the strangest thing on earth. Sometimes, some of them act like they are the nicest, and sometimes, they act the worst. Human nature depends solely on the circumstances surrounding them. Some choose to stay calm when in trouble, but at the same time some choose to be aggressive.

He stood up, then changed his mind and sat down again as the air resonated. Ralph looked at him, eager to offer him something. This quote perfectly describes the anger, jealousy, and hatred he felt towards Ralph when he became chief. The first time Jack acted like twins was in chapter four, when he had the pig hunted and was handing out the meat, he purposely missed the pig, leaving him in doubt, as a statement of power; but the piggybacks, by publicizing this omission, made greater cruelty necessary.
