Short Story Chapter 2

We initially meet Jack Firebrace in the most horrific circumstances possible. Jack is a miner, tunnelling under enemy positions placing mines in the hope of halting enemy advances.

According to a specialist, Jack’s limited exposure to the world will create a barrier towards interaction with the community and environment. “‘Like a newborn in many ways, despite his remarkably accelerated literacy and

Jack is a character that represents Savagery. In the book, he is the first to kill a living creature and the first to break away from the original order established when they first land on the island.

As in the novel, Jack seems to be acting in every way to avoid a rescue, he has let the fire go out, he doesn't think positively towards Ralphs theories of rescue, and he doesn't encourage overall civilization. Thus creating fear of no rescue through the distraction of other opportunities, Jack has forgotten the real task at hand, “Jack had to think for a moment before he could remember what rescue was.” Along with denying and not reassuring any plans of rescue, Jack is trying to convince his tribe that “…fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afraid of on this island . . . Serve you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!"

Jack is standing left of centre of the frame with his truck behind him. The truck is parked at a slight angle. This is a long shot at eye level from the POV of Ennis. A grey brick building is behind the truck. The building is a pale grey except towards the top of the building where above the top of Jack’s hat it is shadowed. Towards the right of the building in the background the green field and blue sky are visible. Jack is now in full view with his jean shirt tucked into blue jeans and a brown belt displaying a silver buckle. He is wearing dark western boots. Jack is turning around from his truck to look at Ennis. As his hat casts a shadow over his face, he looks towards Ennis. This is the first time Jack sees Ennis and he slowly takes him in. Jack takes four slow steps forward while still looking at Ennis, as he does so the shadow cast over his face retreats. Each step is accompanied by the crunching sound of boots on gravel. This is
