In chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies, Jack tries to depose Ralph as chief. He takes up the conch at the meeting and asks boys to raise their hands if they don't want Ralph to be chief anymore. He is brought to tears when no boys take his side, and he stalks away, declaring he won't be part of "Ralph's lot" anymore. Many of the older boys join him, and soon Jack has his own group of boys who live away from the others. After his boys have killed a pig, they return to Ralph's group. Jack wants to entice more of the boys to join his band. After describing where their new camp is, he explains, "We hunt and feast and have fun. If you want to join my tribe come and see us." He calls his group a "tribe." There has never been a need for a separate designation before, for they were "hunters," but that symbolized their role within the large group. Now they have formed a separate society, and Jack calls it a "tribe." He also has "two savages" who accompany him, and after his declaration, they state in unison, "The Chief has spoken," showing that there are now two chiefs on the island.
