Lord of the flies chapter 1-3
Lord of the Flies Chapter 2
“We’ll have rules!” he cried excitedly. “Lots of rules! Then when anyone breaks ‘em-”
“Whee-oh!” “Wacco!” “Bong!” “Doink!” This burst of excitement was made by Jack when Ralph started to make a rule about the conch. This reaction foreshadows a little bit of Jack’s wild side and it makes me think that some problems are going to occur with him at the roots.
The reactions significance is that it shows Jacks wild and tyrannical side. He starts to yell for rules and how if anyone breaks them some bad things are going to happen. He replaces these bad things with nasty sound effects that seem to resemble crazy punishments. When I first read this quote I immediately thought of the code of Hammurabi and how strict it was. Would he probably make rule like that? Giving punishments that were somehow logical but outrageous and harsh?
Also this quote foreshadowed a bit on Jack’s ability to make an oppressive leader because it kind of showed the things he would do as the leader himself. When Ralph earned the position as leader he was a bit unhappy. There were some direct clues about his feelings of Ralph winning the election “Even the choir applauded; and the freckles on Jack’s face disappeared under the blush of mortification.” This automatically tipped me off that Jack would somehow end up from leading the choir boys to attempting to lead everyone because of his actions. He seems a little impulsive and aggressive at times so this does really bring up the tyrant inside him like when he stole the glasses rudely from piggy without asking and the way he orders the choir around just makes you think that he has the potential of a strict leader.
