Ralph says, "Suppose we go, looking like we used to, washed and hair brushed... After all we aren't savages really and being rescued isn't a game." When Samneric point out that Jack and his tribe will be painted Ralph replies, "Well we won't be painted... because we aren't savages."
Ralph declares they will approach Jack’s group clean and in a line.
When Jack sees Ralph and Piggy approach the fire he orders his group to do the wild hunting dance.
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.
Ralph is elected chief because he blows the conch shell and the boys see him as a natural leader due to his rational and fair-minded approach. Jack initially reacts with disappointment and resentment but eventually challenges Ralph's authority and leads a splinter group of boys who prioritize hunting and savagery over civilization.
Ralph lost control over the boys due to the growing influence of Jack, who offered them a more appealing and savage leadership style. Jack manipulated their fear and desire for power, gradually turning them against Ralph's rational and democratic approach. As a result, the boys became divided, leading to the breakdown of order and the loss of control by Ralph.
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.

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 told Samneric that he would hide out in the bushes, so eventually Samneric squeal on Ralph to Jack.
Jack challenged Ralph to go up the mountain to look for the beast with him in the dark. Ralph responds by accepting the challenge and bringing Roger along with him.
