chapter 2

 chapter 2

jack is my favorite character. He fights for what he wants. Jack reminds Ralph of the beastie they found trapped in the jungle, and Ralph agrees that they will need hunters to kill animals for meat. Ralph says that, at meetings, the conch shell will be used to determine who has the right to speak. Whoever holds the conch shell will speak, and the others will listen silently until they receive the shell in their turn. Jack agrees with this idea.

Piggy talks about how that no one knows they have crashed on the island and that they could be stuck there for a long time. The prospect of being stranded for a long time is too scary for many of the boys, and the entire group becomes silent and scared. One of the little boys, a small boy with a red colored mark on his face, claims that he saw a snakelike “beastie” or monster the night before. Though they are frightened, the older boys try to tell the little boys that there is no monster. The older boys say that what the little boy saw was just a nightmare.

Jack is sometimes mean to the other boys, but he stands up for what he believes in that is why I like jack. Jack is my favorite character in the book, jack is a leader even though ralph is chief. Jack makes fun of people sometimes and I don’t know why he does.
