Jack In Lord Of The Flies

In the Book/novel Lord of the Flies, the book starts off with a plane crash with a group of English boys of different ages inside of it. They are stuck on a deserted island until they can find away to escape or let someone know that they were stuck on the island. Amongst one of those boys that survived, Jack is the character that changes the most in the story. He comes off as an arrogant choir boy, who doesn't takes him not being chosen as chief of the island very good, the book says that he cried after not being elected as chief.Not everyone inherits attributes some people are shaped by society. In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Golding uses Jack, a young boy who is also savage, as an example of how people can be shaped by society. Now I will commence to talk about why I think Jacks action of shaped by society instead of inherited with three key examples from the novel.

Page thirty-one of the novel is where Jack’s roll in the book officially started. In this chapter Jack attempts to kill a pig after being elected “hunter” now what does that have to do with him being shaped by society? Jack's mindset works a bit differently coming from an middle class background
Jack also says that Ralph is a coward who doesn't deserve his role as chief. Although he attempts to take Ralph out of power he doesn't quiet manage to do so, the rest of the kids were in denial about taking Ralph out of power, Jack became infuriated with the decision. Now look at what just happened in that chapter Jack tried to take Ralph out of power and when he didn't get it he became mad about it. In the normal society if you lose you deal with it you don't get mad at a decision that is made only because you don't agree with it. This proves how much Jack is really shaped by society not only by the way he does things but by the way he approaches certain situations and the way that he reacts to
