When the whole group of boys begin as "Ralph's group," they are eager to establish a lot of rules. They are only allowed to speak to the group while holding the conch, they have to work to build shelters, they are given shifts during which they have to keep the signal fire going, they even have rules about where they can go to the bathroom. These rules are all designed to keep things orderly and Ralph hopes they will also help to get them rescued.
Jack begins with just a group of hunters but once the split occurs and they go off on their own, his rules are simple. He is eager to hunt and kill for meat and to "have fun." The only real rules are that the boys must obey him or face his wrath. With his group there is no concern for order and civilization or rescue as they are focused only on hunting and "having fun."
