Power Structure

   In Lord of the Flies, there was a power struggle between Jack and Ralph. Jack came power through promises of food, and also creating havoc, especially after stealing Piggy's glasses. He created many problems, and caused the death of two people in order to stay in control of the boys, in which he succeeded. Ralph had a different way; first he used the conch to call the other boys, who then voted him leader; later, he stuck with acting civilized, while he lost control of the boys who later joined Jack's tribe. When Simon and Piggy were killed, it seemed as though Ralph lost all power.
   In The Power of One, the power structure was mainly the German school boys. They gained power over PK when they peed on him (evil!) and killed his chicken. He fought back a little when he pushed over the German boy onto the little pointed Nazi flag. But again they gained dominance by tying PK up. They held onto power until PK left with his grandfather's friend.
