What observation reveals about the subject
21
" Shut up fatty"- Jack says to Piggy.
This shows that Jack doesn't like Piggy and is not a nice guy.
32
"All the same you need an army-for hunting. Hunting Pigs"
This is foreshadowing on Piggy's death, and just shows Jacks hatred for Piggy.
49
"For a minute became less a hunter than a furtive thing, ape-like among the tangle of trees."
This phrase describing Jack truly displays his savageness comparing him to an ape. This also can have a relation to the theme of hair since apes tend to be very hairy.
63
He rubbed the charcoal stick between the patches of red and white on his face.
The face paint is a very significant symbol in the novel. The face paint represents savagery and the loss of order amongst Jack and his "tribe".
82
"Jack stood up and took the conch"
This is a very simple yet ironic sentence in the book, because the conch represents order and civility and Jack represents the opposite. I think this sentence shows that deep down Jack may be in favor of order.
102
Jack's face went so white that the freckles showed as clear, brown flecks.
I think this important because it shows weakness and a frightened side of Jack's demeanor which you have not seen before this in the novel.
114
Jack starts the chant, " Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the Pig! Bash Him in!"
This foreshadows to later in the book where Jack and his tribe are apart of killing Piggy. Especially the quote "Bash him in" because he is bashed in by a boulder.
125
"I've called an assembly because of a lot of things. First, you know now, we've seen the beast. We crawled up. We were only a few feet away"
I think this shows Jack trying to get the children on his side by making the illusion of the beast more realistic. I believe that deep down, he is aware the beast does not exist but uses it as a mechanism to have the boys on his side.
150
"You left it behind. See, clever? And the conch doesn't count at this end of the island--"
This is a very important quote from Jack because he says the conch doesn't count at this end of the island. This proves that the conch represents order and civilization and that Jack and his tribe have turned into savages.
167
This is the scene where Jack and his tribe are messing with Piggy during the night and banging on the back of the shelter.
Although Jack is one of the oldest people in this novel, I believe this shows a major lack of immaturity and is a large rising action to the death of Piggy.
176
The scene where Jack takes Piggy's glasses and Jack is very reluctant to give them back.
This scene is vital to the story because Piggy's glasses are perhaps the largest symbol in the book. Piggy's glasses represent the power of science and technology as well as staying rational and civilized. The fact that Jack takes them shows how he is against being civilized. I believe this is ironic because the glasses are used to start a fire, which represents the boys connection to civilization, and the stealing of the glasses also shows Jack's desire to become a savage.
202
His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; infected by that emotion the other little boys began to shake and sob too.
This is a important scene because it shows leadership and influential qualities through the character of Jack.
