1
‘Jack should have been elected leader in the first place
‘Jack should have been elected leader in the first place.’ Do you agree?
2
Consider: Jack and the choir Jack the hunter Attitude to Ralph
Attitude to Piggy
3
Jack and the choir Bossy with the choir
Chief ‘chapter chorister’ and ‘head boy’ Can sing ‘C sharp’ Thinks he should therefore be the leader No sympathy for weak characters e.g. Simon, who faints & litte’uns (suggests they should kill one if they run short of meat) Choir are well-organised and readily obey Jack so easily become his hunters
4
Jack the hunter Perfect prefect becomes perfect savage
Ch 1 – put in charge of hunters to keep fire going Can’t kill at first – still too civilised Quickly starts questioning the rules Becomes more and more animal-like e.g. ‘dog-like’ and ‘ape-like’ (Ch 3) Uses war paint (Ch 4) – becoming more savage Hunting is more than maintaining the rescue fire – Ch 4 they kill the pig but let the fire go out Ch 6 – hunt the beast on the mountain Ch 8 – kill the pig Ch 9 – kill Simon Ch 11 – hunt Ralph
5
Attitude to Ralph Friends at first e.g. ‘smile at each other with shy liking’ Jack’s upset he’s not leader Ralph appeases him by making him in charge of the choir Jack quickly challenges Ralph (Ch 2) e.g. conch doesn’t count on the mountain Ch 4 – ‘link snapped’ and the 2 start to go their separate ways Ch 8 – tries to get others to vote against Ralph Ch 9 - Tempts others away with food, fun and protection Ch 11 – They fight and Jack won’t leave Ralph alone – has to have him dead as he’ll always be a threat and rival
6
Attitude to Piggy Bullies him e.g. takes his glasses by force to light the fire, smacks his head in anger (Ch 4), gains support from others by making Piggy a laughing stock, calling him a ‘fat slug’ (Ch 5) Piggy knows Jack’s dangerous and if he were leader they’d all die Jack never accepts Piggy’s ideas, many of which are sensible Ch 10 – steals Piggy’s glasses Ch 11 – Jack doesn’t respect the conch Piggy’s carrying when he goes to Castle Rock to get his specs back but kills him instead
