This passage starts off saying that the world was slipping away. William Golding means that all the order and the structure that Ralph had put in place on the island was breaking. Jack does't respect the things that Ralph put in place to maintain order, or any rules for that matter. Ralph loses it with Jack and doesn't care about keeping him happy anymore so he screams at him. This shows a major division between Ralph and Jack because they are past the point where they tried to solve their problems with one another.
Jack shows that he can kill things instead of maintaining order to show power. However in contrast Ralph shows his power by his adult like appearance and intelligence towards order. This sentence shows that Jack is very caught up in his instinct to kill something that he says he can maintain order by killing everything. This shows me that Jack is going to gain the favor of most of the kids due to the fact that most kids want to kill and have fun like Jack.
