2) The difference between Ralph's and Jack's explanation seems to be obvious. Ralph feels remorse for what he's done, "Ralph's voice, low and stricken, stopped Piggy's gestures. He bent down and waited. Ralph, cradling the conch, rocked himself to and fro. 'Don't you understand, Piggy? The things we did-" (Golding 157). While Jack doesn't seem to give it a second thought, only about Simon being the beast, "'-and then the beast might try to come in. You remember how he crawled-' The semicircle shuddered and muttered in agreement. 'He came-disguised He may come again even though we gave him the head of our kill to eat. So watch; and be careful' (Golding 160).
3) Jack has thrown away his humanity and became a savage. It's obvious since he has the power of being chief and commanding the others to beat Wilfred, another human, like an animal. For example, a time where Jack shows being a savage is, "Then Jack found the throat and the hot blood spounted over his hands.... The boys drew back and Jack stood up, holding out his hands.... He giggled and flicked them while the boys laughed at his reeking palms. Then Jack grabbed Maurice and rubbed the stuff over his cheeks" (Golding 135).
- It appears that Jack is chief now. We know because he developed a tribe, has his own set of rules, and followers that will obey his command.
Ralph: Shh! *goes outside with Piggy and gets attacked*
Sam:
Eric: *wakes up to someone kicking his face and attacks by kneeing person*
Jack: *goes for Piggy but is interrupted by Ralph*
Roger: *attacks Sam and Eric*
