Lord of the Flies-Jack exam questions
and answers(verified for accuracy)
"His face was crumpled and freckled, and ugly without silliness." - answer Our first image
created of Jack shows him to be serious and unpleasant.
"Choir! Stand still!" - answer Jack from the start has always been someone who enjoys power
and being in control. The way he commands the choir shows us that he leads through creating
fear and sharp discipline.
"We'll have rules! Lots of rules! Then when anyone breaks 'em" - answer Jack breaks the rules
while trying to enforce them. The basic rule on the island is that you can only speak when you
have the conch, at this point Jack interrupts Ralph without holding the conch. The words "break
em" shows us that Jack wishes to control people through violence.
"i ought to be chief." - answer The word choice of "ought" suggests something that should
happen which further shows us the arrogance the Jack has about having power. Jack also uses
the idea of violence impose power
"the enormity of the knife descending into living flesh" - answer Jack has never had to kill
anything before and feels disturbed by the idea of blood. At the same time, they are aware that
the "enormity" of killing will change them. The obsession of the pig releases the innate savagery
within Jack.
"He hurled the spear with all his strength". - answer This is the same boy who was a head boy at
school and at the start does not know how to make a fire. He has never had to kill anything
before but shows us that he had the instinct to kill.
"He'd never have got us meat" - answer Jack prioritises killing over being rescued. He would
much rather hunt and practice savagery than worry about keeping a signal fire to go back to a
world where he has no control anymore. The boys enjoy Jack's form of leadership over Ralph's
as it is more fun and they feel they have more freedom to behave how they like.
