Read the passage from Lord of the Flies by William Golding.

Ralph dropped down and spoke in his ordinary voice.

"So remember. The rocks for a lavatory. Keep the fire going and smoke showing as a signal. Don’t take fire from the mountain. Take your food up there.”

Jack stood up, scowling in the gloom, and held out his hands.

"I haven’t finished yet.”

"But you’ve talked and talked!”

"I’ve got the conch.”

Jack sat down, grumbling.

How is the universal theme of society’s dependence on authority developed in this passage?

through Ralph’s refusal to let Jack speak
through the commands Ralph gives the boys
through the disagreement between Jack and Ralph
through the way Jack acts while Ralph has the conch
