Jack went on a strike and stayed on his couch until his parents would let him drop some of the activities he'd been doing such as Chinese class. Jack Strong is just an ordinary seventh grader with two parents and normal physical features. Sure Jack Strong isn't the strongest or the coolest,but he is a very persistent kid who stands up in what he believes him and is not afraid or embarrassed in doing so.

    There are differences in what the reader thinks a character is like and what a character is written to be. Once the character is written, it is written with characteristics that create its personality. A good character is like a painting, the details that are put in, some details will stick out. So these details can make a resemblance of the setting, mood, or everything in the story, and those details are the characteristics that make a good protagonist. The trait that creates a good protagonist is bravery.

    Jack has a huge ego in this novel. However, I do feel that Jacks ego is what helps him to survive on the island differently than the others, instead of trying to get his hopes up of being saved, he focuses strictly on what any normal human being would do and that is to survive. Though only thinking of himself during his stay with others on the island does not help him to survive and better. Also, Jack has a masculine, brave, and strong personality. Jack’s ego can get in the way sometimes.

    Character traits that I would describe him as would be kind creative and determined the reason I gave him these traits was because he would read to little kids (kind), he wrote all of those rhymes (determined), and no one else in the world could come up with a Sam I Am, a Fox in socks, and a Cat in the Hat these are why I agree with Adrianna to give Dr. Seuss these characteristics.

    Jack - I think that Jack is influenced by the thought of having power. This is because he is willing to do whatever it takes in order to gain control. For example, “They hate you, Ralph, they’re going to do you, They’re going to hunt you tomorrow, But why? , I dunno” (Golding 188). This quote shows that Jack is willing to kill the other leader in order to gain full control.
