Chapter Response: Chapter 1
Character Development: Jack
Quote: "Inside the floating cloak he was tall, thin, and bony; and his hair was red beneath the black cap. His face was crumpled and freckled, and ugly without silliness. Out of this face stared two light blue eyes, frustrated now, and turning, or ready to turn, to anger."
Analysis: Jack is portrayed in this as intimidating and ugly. This is foreshadowing Jack's later attitudes and actions. He is the choir leader and seems to be very strict towards them.
He has an intimidating cloak hiding an ugly face frustrated with the other boys. His frustration begins to turn to anger when what he wants isn't done. Jack didn't show any weakness towards the boys to want to seem even more intimidating.
I interperet Jack as a strong, mean "bully" towards all of the other boys. He acts like he is the leader even whenever Ralph is given leadership. I feel Jack may later cause large problems or even death for one or more of the children due to these traits.
