  • Jack - Dynamic Character in "Lord of the Flies"

    771 Words  | 2 Pages

    Jack’s authoritative figure in the beginning of Lord of the Flies is one quality that shows how he is a dynamic character. To begin with, Jack shows he is authoritative by sabotaging Ralph’s integrity and rules. For instance, on pages one-hundred and one and one-hundred and two, Jack says, “We don’t need the conch anymore. We know who ought to say things. What good did Simon do speaking, or Bill, or Walter? It’s time some people knew they’ve got to keep quiet and leave deciding things to the rest of us.” Jack is trying to get rid of the idea that the conch, or freedom of speech, is needed. This is another step away from civilized behavior because a newly established order of power replaces the conch. Another way Jack shows he is authoritative is by wanting to be a leader. First, Jack forms his own group that he calls the hunters. Then, Jack intimidates the other boys to join his group by talking about the beast. Jack tells the little ‘uns that are scared that they will forget about the beast. ...

  • William Golding's Lord Of The Flies Argument Essay

    456 Words  | 1 Pages

    Jack likes to govern in a savage way. He likes to hunt, being savage like, and killing things. In the text it states, “ ‘The rules!’ shouted Ralph. ‘You're breaking the rules!’ ‘Who cares?’... ‘Bollocks to the rules! We're strong--we hunt! If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down!’” (Golding 91). This demonstrates that Jack doesn’t want to follow the rules and just wants to do whatever he wants and wants to hunt and kill things.

  • Arctic Hares Research Paper

    177 Words  | 1 Pages

    Arctic hares have unusual habits that help protect them from cold environment and predators. Sometimes they huddle in large groups, hundreds of them, keeping their bodies close together for warmth and it’s harder to attack if together. If a hungry wolf or arctic fox happens to surprise the group, the hares scatter into different directions and confuse their predators with their speed and numbers so they have a greater chance of surviving/getting away. At rest, arctic hares appear smaller than they actually are. They sit on their legs and flatten their ears to conserve their body heat. Unlike hares that live in warmer regions the Arctic Hare has relatively short ears; which have developed that way to limit its body's exposure to the cold.
