The seperation

Jack and Ralph are two boys with different personalities. How can they co-exist on this island? Please use the quote from the novel to explain what has happened to them. See if you can tell me what this quote means and what it could mean to the story:
"So Ralph asserted his chieftanship and could not have chosen a better way if he had thought for days. Against his weapon, so indefinable and so effective, Jack was powerless and raged without knowing why. By the time the pile was built, they were on different sides of a high barrier."

The boys can use their imagination to co-exist on the island. They have many problems that they don't know how to solve. Jack and Ralph have two totally different personalities that only each other can understand. They need to have more serious and better attitudes about being alone on this island. I think that this book will some how teach me a lesson about life. I will come to find out what it is in the end.
