Chapter 5 Jack’s statement By: Sarah Anderson, Kevin Moran, and Matt Johnson The boys in Lord of the Flies are having a vote and are finding a lot of conflict with power and obedience which are main keys to survival and sanity When someone mentioned Ghosts in the assembly, Piggy took the conch and tried to speak, but Jack shut him down. This an example of people not following the rules, and maintaining order. “Why should choosing make any difference? Just giving orders that don’t make any sense-.” (Golding 84) This quote demonstrates Jack not being mature and being rebellious. In the following Ralph says “You’re breaking the rules!” Then Jack says “Who cares” You need order and rules and that is why a leader is chosen to give orders that do actually make sense unlike Jack believes this is why he wasn’t elected leader Jack seems to be more selfish and ignorant to others and everyone’s well being he might start a new group of his own and go against Ralph and his rules
