Three significant moments pertaining to loyalty is when Jack blows the conch in chapter 8 and page 125, Jack decides to go off alone by himself in chapter eight and page 127, and when people first sneak off to go to Jack's tribe in chapter eight and page 131. All of these contain Jack in a rivalry with Ralph because Jack wants to take away the power from Jack.
In the first one,
Jack
was loyal to Ralph’s leadership. Ralph is the only one who is suppose to blow
the conch since he is the chief/leader. Now, Jack has the need to blow the conch and have his own assembly while Ralph is standing right in front of him! Jack wants this:
Chief/Leader:
Ralph
Jack
For the second one, Jack
is leaving the area where Ralph rules because he is sick of him. The loyalty between
them is gone. Jack wants to lead his own pack. So he asks everyone who would like to come along with him. No one comes...at first.... For the third one, people start sneaking off to go to Jack's area of the island so they can hunt with him and be apart of his tribe. Jack even eventually has a feast/party/celebration which attracts most of the people of the island to go to his side of the island.
