Describe how the meeting ends?

This is a rather vague question because there are numerous assemblies throughout the novel Lord of the Flies.

This is a rather vague question because there are numerous assemblies throughout the novel Lord of the Flies. I will choose to elaborate on the assembly that takes place at the beginning of Chapter 8 because its ending is significant to the advancement of the plot of the story. After Ralph calls Jack's band of hunters "boys with sticks," Jack gets offended and calls an assembly by blowing the conch. Jack says he's called the meeting to tell the group the news that they have finally witnessed the "beast." Jack claims that they cannot kill the beast and tells the boys that Ralph said his hunters were no good. Jack attempts to usurp power by claiming that Ralph is like Piggy, an unpopular character, and is a weak leader. Jack calls Ralph a coward and brings up the fact that Ralph has never killed a pig. At the end of Jack's speech he raises the conch and asks the boys, "Who thinks Ralph oughtn't to be chief?" (Golding 127) When nobody raises their hand, Jack tears up and says, "I'm not going to be a part of Ralph's lot---" (Golding 127) Jack invites anyone who wants to hunt with him to come along and runs onto the beach, then into the forest. This is a significant ending to the assembly because it marks the beginning of Jack's totalitarian tribe. Jack's failed attempt at usurping power from Ralph creates a schism amongst the boys. Running away from Ralph's group physically represents the path toward savagery. Gradually, Jack's hunters and several other boys leave Ralph's tribe to join Jack's group. Jack's tribe represents primitive human instincts and total loss of civility, which is a major theme throughout the novel.
