In lord of the flies, what does Ralph ask jack that makes the boys uncomfortable
Ralph opposes Jack's violent ways. He also trying to stop the boys approaching Jack's view of the boys. Moreover, by hunting Ralph, Jack is trying to show who the real leader is and why everyone should follow him.
During the meeting when Jack talks of hunting the beast Ralph describes Jack's hunters as, "boys armed with sticks." Later, during the confrontation at Castle Rock, Ralph calls Jack a Thief.
The boys hunt for Ralph as an order of Jack.
In chapter 9, Ralph said: '"And for hunting," said Ralph, wisely, "and for pretending to be a tribe, and putting on war-paint."' (Golding, pg.163). Jack lures the boys in to his control by offering them meat from his hunts, and excitement. Jack is a manipulative leader who can insert fear in the boys; while the boys are scared and overwhelmed by emotional instincts, Jack takes the opportunity to persuade the boys. He also uses effective traps by not telling the boys that he will not completely control them. Ralph, at this point, realizes the need for order and organization; he knows that they can no longer act like children. Although he wants civilization and order in the boys, he has difficulty communicating to the boys. Jack, on the other hand, can foresee the boys' fears and instincts, therefore being able to control and brainwash them.
Ralph, Jack, and Simon are the three boys who go on an exploration to see if they are indeed on an island in "Lord of the Flies."
Jack made no reply to Ralph's question and when Ralph turned away and led the boys towards the mountain Jack was at the back of the bunch glowering and brooding.
The three tallest boys on the island in "Lord of the Flies" were Ralph, Jack, and Piggy. Ralph was described as the tallest among the boys.
In lord of the flies, what does Ralph ask jack that makes the boys uncomfortable
Ralph, Jack, and Simon are the three main boys who explore the island in "Lord of the Flies." They play significant roles in the novel and each represents different aspects of human nature.
Jack basically tries to publicly usurp Ralph's role as chief. Jack accuses Ralph of not being a "real" chief. He accuses Ralph of being weak, liking Piggy and making the boys do boring things. He chastises Ralph for fearing the beast and not getting meat. Jack then asks for a re-vote. The boys don't openly vote Ralph out. Jack goes into tantrum mode and storms off. Most of the boys join him later.
Quite simply there is only one cause and that is Jack. From the very first meeting Jack when Jack expressed his desire to be chief he showed increasing resentment towards Ralph and made several attempts to usurp his authority, resulting in the inevitable splitting apart of the other boys who became no more than pawns in Jack's power struggle with Ralph.

samneric and jack and ralph
The vote was between Jack and Ralph. When all the boys voted they chose Ralph as their leader. :)
Jack has probably spread fear and doubt among the boys by convincing them that Ralph cannot protect them. By manipulating their emotions and creating a sense of chaos and insecurity, Jack has likely made Ralph appear as the new or next beast in order to solidify his own power and control.
Jack's boys do not attack Ralph's boys at any point in the book. Roger and Maurice accompany Jack on a night time raid on the shelters but the purpose is not 'attack' anyone but simply to steal Piggy's glasses. Even when Ralph, Samneric & Piggy go to castle rock to demand the return of Piggy's glass although they are vastly outnumbered by Jack's tribe they are not attacked.
