When he meets Jenny for the first time it takes a bit to get over the fact she's The Doctors Daughter, and yes, he thinks it in capitals, it's too mind blowing for him not to. The Doctor bounds out of the Tardis, and there she is, all charm and a brilliant smile, a confident bounce in her step. A wave to Martha, and then her eyes do the exploring for her. She shakes Jacks hand, they size each other up, with neither like nor dislike. Jenny takes a shine to Mickey, they share details about their favourite Big Fucking Guns, respectively. Jack winks at her when the Doctor isn't looking. She rolls her eyes, but grins at him secretly when she leaves. A message shared. A dare.
The second time he sees her, she promptly starts flirting with him. Jack tries his best to reciprocate in kind, dancing between the Doctor's incredibly dark looks. She's sweet and young and sexy as hell. Despite the fact she beats the crap out of him in an impromptu fight. The Doctor's more than a little proud when she emerges mostly unscathed, while Jack has to lean on Gwen for support as she delivers him to a snickering Martha. That's the last time he brags about his strength and stamina, when GI Jenny's around, anyway.
The third time, it's in a crisis. The world's gone to shit thanks to some alien threat or other and the Doctor has to step in to stop the end of the earth, again. Nothing new there. But Jack finds himself taking orders from her. She knows more about military tactics then he would have originally thought. He can't quite fathom why he finds himself submitting to her. Is it the fact she's like the Doctor? That unflinching stare she sets on him? That utterly grim look of determination? He doesn't get a moment to think until after, and even th...

...ee it. "What do you think?"
It's fairly normal looking, on the outside at least. Much like the Doctor's Tardis, it's a plain looking wooden box, with a windowed door on one side. And yet, there seem to be strands of metal peeking around the entrance, growing into the walls itself, like a a kind of metal vine.
"Cool," he says. Jenny is obviously pleased. "But, why emerald green?"
Jenny shrugs and says: "It was one of the colours, of the ball of light, the terra forming device, back when I was first born. When I died." Jack nods, remembering the story she told him, of being born to war and Messaline and Hath and getting shot in the chest.
"Huh," he says.
"So..." Jenny steps back and opens the door. "You ready for an adventure, Captain?"
Jack smirks and shrugs his coat closer.
"You bet, GI Jenny."
And he walks her in, and follows her to the future.
The End
Jenny was Jethro’s sister. She helped Jethro in the fields, and made dinner. Her and Jethro shared basically everything including laughter. The only thing Jenny did not want to share was her letters from Shadrach. Shad and Jenny were in love, and all Jethro had to do was mention Mr. Yale’s name and Jenny would blush.

He has started to show his urge for killing after he failed to kill the pig.

Jack wasn’t exactly the healthiest of children as a kid. When he was two and-a-half years old Jack caught the scarlet fever, both a contagious and deadly illness. Although Jack eventually got better, as a result of his history with the scarlet fever he was a very weak, and sickly child. While Jack was spending so much time in bed, from being sick so often, he read books, one after another. Jack had always loved reading history, and he had a passion for writing. He was even the only boy at school to subscribe to the New York Times. On the occasion that Jack wasn’t sick, he tried to live up to his brother Joe Jr. Joe was two years older, meaning he was stronger, faster, and smarter. All of the Kennedy children looked up to Joe, including Jack.

Throughout this whole episode The Doctor is low context in every conversation he has. This is best shown at the beginning of the episode and at the end. In the beginning when he meets Amilia Pond and he demands that he wants an apple. When they go into the kitchen, she gives him an apple, and he takes one bite out of the apple and says “I hate apples; apples are rubbish.” This goes on for about five minutes with him demanding different foods and then saying that he hates it. After he finally finds something that wants to eat, he starts asking Amilia questions about her personal life: “Are we in Scotland?”, “Where is your mum and Dad?”, and “So your aunt, where is she?” He completely disregards her feelings about any of the personal questions and keeps probing her for more information.
In the sequence of scenes, that shows the transformation of Jack as soldier from when he first arrives to the Irish Guards, and the Soldier he becomes before he is promoted to Lieutenant, provides the audience with a great display of his determination, and endurance that contributes to the notion of him being an admirable soldier. When Jack First arrives at the Scottish Guards, the audience is alerted by an upbeat, marching tune of music that is filtered in. The audience hears the yelling of other officers, and the marching of the current soldiers. The tone of the music becomes higher in pitch as Jack rides in on his motorcycle to symbolize the importance of his arrival. The motorcycle signifies how unique he is from all the soldiers. For in this scene, all of the other new beginners are walking in together carrying suitcases, and a few of them are wearing hats. Jack rides in alone, with no bags, no hate, sticking out from everyone else. One soldier even turns his head to look at him as if Jack’s arrival shocks him
Throughout the short story, O’Connor uses color imagery to allude to innocence and corruption. Lucynell is described as a beautiful woman, multiple times.
When it comes to Jack’s fear of not being chief, it brings out the worst in him and it has an effect on others. For instance, when the boys are deciding on who should be the chief, Ralph wins by a landslide. “Even the choir applauded; and the freckles on Jack’s face disappeared under a blush of mortification” (Golding 19). That is the first physical evidence of Jack being humiliated by Ralph and judging by Jack’s personality, he is not used to failure so it has a big impact on him. This motivates him to destroy Ralph and the rivalry between the two begins. Another point is that Jack uses fear and threats to control the boys. For example, when Robert tells Roger “’He’s going to beat Wilfred.’ ‘What for?’ Robert shook his head doubtfully” (Golding 176) it shows that Jack is violent and is using his...
As the story begins, the unnamed doctor is introduced as one who appears to be strictly professional. “Aas often, in such cases, they weren’t telling me more than they had to, it was up to me to tell them; that’s why they were spending three dollars on me.” (par. 3) The doctor leaves the first impression that he is one that keeps his attention about the job and nothing out of the ordinary besides stating his impressions on the mother, father and the patient, Mathilda. Though he does manage to note that Mathilda has a fever. The doctor takes what he considers a “trial shot” and “point of departure” by inquiring what he suspects is a sore throat (par. 6). This point in the story, nothing remains out of the ordinary or questionable about the doctor’s methods, until the story further develops.
On that fall day in 2009, Kirsten did not know that someone as intelligent and articulate as Jack might be unable to read the feelings of others, or gauge the impact of his words. [...] But she found comfort in Jack’s forthrightness. If he did not always say what she wanted to hear, she knew that whatever he did say, he meant. (Harmon 1-2)
If he [the doctor] were to allow his fondness for the girl to stop him, the result might be much, much worse for her [Mathilda] than the short-term discomfort she would undergo
