Comflict between Ralph and Jack quotes ?
Anna71 [15]
"Shut up," said Ralph absently. He lifted the conch. "Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things."

"A chief! A chief!"

"I ought to be chief," said Jack with simple arrogance, "because I'm chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp." (1.229-231)

The suffusion drained away from Jack's face. Ralph waved again for silence.

"Jack's in charge of the choir. They can be—what do you want them be?"

"Hunters."

Jack and Ralph smiled at each other with shy liking. The rest began to talk eagerly. (1.254-257)

“You're no good on a job like this.”

“All the same –”

“We don’t want you,” said Jack, flatly. “Three’s enough.” (1.274-276)

"A fire! Make a fire!"

At once half the boys were on their feet. Jack clamored among them, the conch forgotten.

"Come on! Follow me!"

The space under the palm trees was full of noise and movement. Ralph was on his feet too, shouting for quiet, but no one heard him. All at once the crowd swayed toward the island and was gone—following Jack. (2.120-123)

Jack's face swam near him.

"And you shut up! Who are you, anyway? Sitting there telling people what to do. You can't hunt, you can't sing—"

"I'm chief. I was chosen."

"Why should choosing make any difference? Just giving orders that don't make any sense—" (5.238-241)

“Who thinks Ralph oughtn’t to be chief?”

He looked expectantly at the boys ranged around, who had frozen. Under the palms there was deadly silence.

“Hands up?” said Jack strongly, “whoever wants Ralph not to be chief?”

The silence continued, breathless and heavy and full of shame. Slowly the red drained from Jack’s cheeks, then came back with a painful rush. He licked his lips and turned his head at an angle, so that his gaze avoided the embarrassment of linking with another’s eye.

“How many think –”

His voice trailed off. The hands that held the conch shook. He cleared his throat, and spoke loudly.

“All right then.”

He laid the conch with great care in the grass at his feet. The humiliating tears were running from the corner of each eye.

“I’m not going to play any longer. Not with you.” (8.67-75)

Compare situations in which standard formal English is most appropriate to instances in which less formal, colloquial English wo
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

We use standard formal English when communicating with an unknown audience.

Less formal, colloquial English would be fine when communicating with people whom you know and who also know you.

Explanation:

Standard formal English is mostly used in academic writings, job applications, persuasive letters to authorities, business presentations within a company, or to some other company.

Less formal and colloquial English is used when we communicate with people whom we already know, and who also know us. For example communicating with a team lead, group discussion, business meetings within a company, talking to your employer with whom you have already worked for some time.

Below this less formal style comes informal style (though acceptable but not correct) which we use with our close friends, team mates, etc.

The lowest level is slang which is hardly acceptable for most of the people.
