How does Jack contribute to the survival of the boys in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Essentially Jack offers the boys irresponsible fun, hunting and killing pigs, having meat to eat and the security of being part of an armed tribe based in the easily defensible castle rock. By comparison in the eyes of the boys all that Ralph has to offer is the responsibility of tending to a fire, building shelters and looking after a load of littlun all in remote chance that they might one day get rescued.

Answer 2

Jack leaves the beast an offering of the sow's head, mounted on a stick, and her guts. He later advises his tribe to, and I quote... "So leave the mountain alone.... and give it the head if you go hunting." After further thought he adds, "We'd better keep on the right side of him, anyhow. You can't tell what he might do."

Answer 3

The earlier members of Jack's tribe are lured in with the prospect of food, fun and games. He offers them meat of the pigs and more 'enjoyment', unlike Ralph, who is more preoccupied with the signal fire.

As the boys' descent into savagery steepens, the methods of which Jack lures the boys get worse. He uses manipulation, fear and power to control them and eventually pain and torture (in the case of Samneric and the littlun, Wilfred).

Answer 4

Yes, Jack does survive at the end of Lord of the Flies because when the naval officer asks who is in charge, Jack starts to step forward to challenge Ralph's claim of leadership but is stopped perhaps by the recognition that now the old rules will be enforced.

Answer 5

Jack Changes from a civilized English choir boy to a dictator type leader (a tyrant), power hungry, savage, hunter.

Answer 6

Jack can be described as demanding, overbearing, savage, unruly and arrogant in lord of the flies.

Answer 7

Jack leads with a Dictatorship government in the Lord of the Flies, by torturing people, and not giving equality. Ralph leads the exact opposite way.

Answer 8

By providing them with meat.
