   Where isn't it found? 

   You'll find it in the book when Ralph is elected leader by the group.  You'll find it when Ralph puts Jack in charge of the hunters.  You'll find it when Jack moves off the beach and into the cliff dwellings.  You'll find it when they're talking about the beast and how Jack uses that fear to manipulate the boys into coming with "his" tribe for safety.  You'll find it when Piggy is brutally murdered and the conch is destroyed.  You'll find it when they are hunting Ralph by setting the island on fire in order to "stick" him like the pigs they've been hunting and have control over.

   The theme of "power" is all through the book.  Look up these spots in the book and choose the quote you think will be most effective for your purpose.

   Good Luck!
