Ralph believes the beastie is a figment of the younger boys' imagination and tries to reassure them that they are safe. Jack, on the other hand, uses the concept of the beastie to create fear and gain power over the boys, using it as a means to control and manipulate them. Ralph's approach is logical and practical, while Jack's is more manipulative and fear-based.
Jack made no reply to Ralph's question and when Ralph turned away and led the boys towards the mountain Jack was at the back of the bunch glowering and brooding.
Ralph speaks to the littluns in a kind and reassuring manner, encouraging them to be brave and cooperative. Jack, on the other hand, tends to be more authoritative and intimidating, using fear to control them. This reflects their contrasting leadership styles and priorities in the novel.
Jack's answer to questions about the beast is to say that, "if there is a beast we will hunt it and kill it." Ralph keeps insisting, "but there is no beast!"
Ralph and Piggy join in Jack his tribe's dance during the night when Simon came out of the forest. Jack and everybody else thought he was the beastie (since it was so dark) and they killed him.

The boy with the birthmark brings it up in chapter 2. The other "littleuns" urge him forward in the assembly, and he tells Ralph and Jack about the nightmare that he had.
During the meeting, when the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face first mentioned the snake-thing or beastie, Ralph declared, "But there isn't a beastie!" Jack then said "Ralph's right of course. There isn't a snake-thing." Unfortunately he then contradicted the impact of this statement by adding "But if there was a snake we'd hunt it and kill it... And we'll look for the snake too---" Ralph protested again, "But there isn't a snake!" To which Jack replied, "We'll make sure when we go hunting." So in effect Jack gave credence to the littlun's story instead of just dismissing it as Ralph had done.
After Ralph won the election to be chief, leaving jack as the losing candidate, Ralph placed Jack in charge of the choir and allowed Jack to choose what he wished them to be. Jack chose, "Hunters."
The final split between Ralph and Jack is caused by their differing leadership styles and priorities. Ralph represents order, civilization, and the common good, while Jack symbolizes savagery, power, and the desire to dominate. Their conflicting visions for the group's survival and the use of fear and violence ultimately lead to their irreconcilable differences and separation.
Ralph and Jack never liked each other. Once they met and Jack wanted to take the power from Ralph there was instant friction between the two. It's was obviously Ralph's job to be chief and Jack just expected to get it instead of Ralph.
