Power in LOTF vs. The Power of One

Power is shown in Lord of the Flies by William Golding and in the movie The Power of One. In Lord of the Flies, the character Jack is in control of the other boys in the tribe. He gains this authority over the others by tempting them with his unusual theories and exploiting them through their universal fear of the beast. Jack maintains this power by threatening the boys and trying to prove his strength and leadership skills. He does this by showing support and adventures. This power structure is destroyed because the conch shell breaks and all civilization is gone. In The Power of One, the older boys at the Nazi camp have control over PK. These boys take control over the young one by coming to the realization of their size differences, considering how they are the biggest at the camp and he is the littlest boy there. They remain in control by continuously hazing PK, such as peeing on him and killing his chicken. The power structure in this situation is destroyed during the chicken scene when the adults come in and demand them to put PK down.
