The island was almost like the “Neverland” that Disney taught us about years ago, but without Tinkerbell and a magical home with all their needs. Jack and the children in this adventure were in a heap of trouble. They were many, some smaller and some bigger (littleuns and bigguns). These kids had to organize themselves into some sort of unit, to more efficiently find a way home. That is where the trouble begins. When one or more humans come together, a hierarchy is always established. Similar to when one goes to a restaurant and the waitress only addresses our father for the majority of the tables decisions. When this hierarchy forms, the decisions this leader takes will always be classified as good or evil, and the society will be judged by the character at their forefront. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of The Flies”, Jack Merridew is the character that takes leadership in the society and proves humanity is inherently evil by demonstrating human’s: selfish tendencies, competitive nature, and hopelessness.

Jack first enters The Great Sleep while researching the life of his ancestor, Cass Mastern, for a thesis paper. After Jack’s perusal of the records surrounding Cass Mastern and his story, Jack comes to a catch-22: as Jonathan Cullick states, “Burden’s resistance to historical connection produces self-isolating rhetoric that he must change when he realizes that it renders him unable to understand the story of […] Cass Mastern […] and himself. (Cullick 3)” Jack is not yet at the pinnacle of realization when he enters the Great Sleep, but is at the point of “resistance”, and producing “self loathing rhetoric”; he is unable to cope with the task ahead of him. Jack sees the story of Cass Mastern, yet determines himself inept to complete the task.
