A hunter who keeps us all alive.
But Ralph, he always blames me for everything, even when I try to help.
A few weeks ago I tried to kill a pig for the first time.
" ' I thought I might kill ' " (51) But unfortunately I couldn't, so Ralph blamed me for even trying.
All Ralph has been doing ever since we've gotten here is accuse me.
Accuse me for not helping with shelters, or not hunting efficiently, or not keeping the fire going.
I'm sick of it! " ' [Ralph's] like piggy. He says things like piggy [and]... He's a coward himself ' "(138)
Speaking of Piggy, all you've been doing is sitting around and complaining ever since we've gotten here... You do no work and expect everything to happen by itself.
I don't care about your stupid glasses, or the stupid fire.
I'm the one who does all the work and I get blamed.
Ralph shouldn't be chief, I should.
I should have been chief because I was " ' Chapter chorister and head boy ' " (18).
If I was chief from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
Simon and piggy wouldn't have been dead and we wouldn't be killing each other.
The reason why they are dead is because of you Ralph, you thought you were leading this group, but you're the one who broke it.
Ralph, do you know why everyone left your tribe and joined mine?
It's because I'm a better leader than you and a better hunter.
And everyone... Everyone can agree with that.
An interesting character analysis page I found online says that Jack represnts evil and violence on the island which is very true. This article talks about what type of character Jack is and how he trys to establish leadership on the island. http://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/l/lord-of-the-flies/character-analysis/jack
