But Odysseus refuses and “‘wished to see the cavemen, what he had to offer- no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends’”(151).

Ralph says to Jack on hunting "So long as you and your hunters remember you fire".(Golding, 53) Jack then says " You and your Fire!" (Golding, 53) This is the point where Jack and Ralph start to have major disagreements and there is a break in communication and a feeling of competition for Jack to lead so he can change the rules.

The desire for community is a strong virtue, but in the Great Depression the philosophy of friendship is cast aside for a competitive hierarchy. While George and Lennie value community, there simply not an understanding of friendship so it is impossible for it to thrive on the ranch. The only two friendships known on the ranch both end in tragedy, someone ends up getting shot. George and Lennie, and Candy and his dog draw interesting parallels.
