Compare characters jack and ralph from lord of the flies

When the boys first arrive on the island, it is Ralph’s idea to gather everyone together and have an assembly. ... The first time that we see Jack is when he is marching with his choir in formation. ... Their bodies, from throat to ankle, were hidden by black cloaks which bore a long silver cross on the left breast and each neck was finished off with a hambone frill.” This reminds us of the Nazi Party with Jack as their leader, the equivalent to Hitler, and triggers our minds into associating Jack with evil. ...
From the first day it is obvious that Jack and Ralph are completely different characters, but at first they get along. Ralph is quite quiet, attractive and thinks through things before saying them, “there was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out.” Jack on the other hand is much louder, bossy, big-headed and arrogant, “I ought to be chief…because I’m chapter chorister and I can sing C-sharp.” When it is decided that they should all vote for who they want to be chief, Jack thinks of himself as the obvious choice, but everyone outside his choir votes for Ralph. This makes Jack elect his choir to be hunters; again Jack is associated with evil. Even though they have very different personalities, early on in the book Jack and Ralph are friends. “Jack and Ralph smiled at each other with a shy liking.”
Ralph is friendly with Piggy, but accidentally tells everyone that his ‘real’ name is Piggy, causing the other boys to mock him.
