Jack's Speech On Lord Of The Flies

Fellow friends and young children, we have faced some hardships among ourselves and eachother I understand that you all are scared including me, and Jack. These past days, weeks, months have been difficult and crazy, first the death of Simon, then my close friend, partner, brother Piggy.

Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, has four very important dynamic characters. A dynamic character is a character that develops and grows during the course of the story. Ralph, Jack, Piggy, and Simon are four dynamic characters in Lord of the Flies that adapt to their new lifestyles in different ways. Jack is a very important dynamic character in Lord of the Flies because he goes through the most changes during the novel. While on the island, Jack has many life experiences that change him forever. Jack never thought he would live his life the way he is living his life in the island. Jack’s authoritative figure, savage-like/instinctual behavior, and violence are three qualities that make Jack a dynamic character.

Many of the boys want to have fun and see Jack's hunting as the fun

A good leader is one who knows how to lead with control and has strong leader characteristics. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, some readers support the fact that Jack was a better leader than Ralph, but others feel that Ralph was the better leader. Although many supporters feel that Ralph is the best leader, it is evident that Jack is the better leader because he can effortlessly control the group on the island.

The power-hungry will often feel the need for absolute control, hardly ever getting what they desire, they will often be portrayed as crazy and vicious. The same can be said for Jack; all he wants is to be the leader and make the decisions, but Ralph is the one in control. Jack’s desire for power is ruining his own image, and the well being of the other boys. Without the supervision of adults his morals and values took a turn for the worst.

World War II was a terrible time for us as a human race. It is the worst war this world has ever seen because of the death toll of innocent people. The person responsible for all that was a man named Adolph Hitler. In Lord of the Flies Jack is very power hungry just like Hitler was himself. Throughout the whole book Jack is trying to prove himself to the other boys. He always wants to be better than everyone else. Jack is always feeling a need for more power even when he was the most powerful on the island. Hitler and jack have many similarities in the way they lead. They both were very demanding of their people. Hitler and Jack also craved power it's what fueled them to keep going. Like Hitler, Jack would kill anyone who did not agree

People today believe that to be powerful you have to be known and rich. While that may be partly true, an individual is powerful if they possess the ability to show responsibility, courage, determination, and initiative.

     The character of Roger is also an id but he is a satanic killer. Unlike

Lord of the Lies is a book about savagery, power, control, intelligence and loss of innocence. However, from the beginning one of the main characters; Jack demonstrates almost all the themes that the novel shows us. We see that Jack is bigger and stronger than all the other boys, but all he wants to do is hunt; he does not care about being rescued. The hunting gradually turns more vicious and powerful. Golding uses Jack to explain and portray dictatorship, power, savagery and growing up too fast.

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, a group of young British boys are left stranded on an island after a fatal plane crash in the midst of a World War. With no communication to the outer world and no presence or influence of adults on the island, Ralph, Jack Merridew, and Piggy are forced to take initiative if the group of hopeless boys want to survive. The group of boys experience a drastic change throughout their time on the island, a change that no one would ever expect to occur to a young group of primed British boys. The leader of the stranded choirists on the island, Jack Merridew, shows such a change that he soon persuades other boys to follow his savage actions as the novel progresses. Though the changes to Jack’s mental and physical characteristics advance slowly at first, the final personality of Jack is instantly taken over at the climax of the novel to a dehumanized savage. Jack’s innocence is corrupted by his inability to withstand a society without rules proving man's good essential nature is altered by the evil within society.

Ralph said the beast had teeth and big, black eyes. I’m kind of scared now. Jack took the conch and started blowing into it like he don’t know what he’s doing. He said that Ralph shouldn’t be the chief because he’s a coward. But we took a vote again to see who should be chief and no one voted for Jack. Then he stormed away saying that he was going to hunt by himself and you could join him. We don’t need Jack; we can do without him. I suggested we moved the fire to down here on the beach so we don’t have to go up on that mountain. We made a new fire. I noticed some boys like Maurice, Bill, and Roger left—I expect they joined Jack’s tribe. We don’t need ‘em anyways. Ralph and me had done some talking: he doesn’t know what to do and is losing faith in getting rescued. I told him we just got to move on—be like the grownups. Then Jack and some of his hunters burst out of the trees making loud noises. I thought they were after the conch so I went to protect that. He told us he was having a feast and we could join him in his tribe. His hunters stole some fire from us during their

Jack gets mad at Ralph. Because he blamed by Ralph and he is always a lot of set up. This makes her get bored and go away from Ralph. Jack felt that he more deserves to be a leader. Then, this separate do not make him doubt at all. It is because Jack has an ability of hunting to survive on the island. In addition, there are other kids who follow him and accompanied him to keep each other. it make him sure for what he has decided. It show by Jack's speech when he says that Ralph was not the one leader who deserved,

“There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast--Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! Said the head. You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s a no go? Why things are the way they are?” (page 206)

Over the summer we all read the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding and had to put of with the one called Jack. In nearly every book there is a so called villain or bad guy to make the story more interesting and eventful, and Jack is just that character. There are many words to describe jack but my word is superior. over all. Throughout the story you start to understand Jacks’s horrid personality and actions which leaves me to believe the best word to describe jack is ¨wicked¨.

Jack is aggressive with the other boys on the island. Jack is aggressive with the boys when he gets mad. The hunters “drove Jack to violence.” Jack then “took a step, and able at last to hit someone, struck his fist into Piggy’s stomach” (Golding 71). Jack was mad at the hunters, so he took it out on Piggy. Robert says Jack is “going to beat Wilfred.” The boys have no idea what for. Robert says Jack, “got angry and made us tie up Wilfred up for no reason just because he got angry. Jack did the same thing with Piggy.
