In this chapter 5 Ralph decided to make an assembly to put things straight, everyone was there Jack, Simon, Piggy, the hunters and the rest of the boys all listened to what Ralph said but some of them start to argue and some kids started to talk about beast and that there’s something in the island which all of them seem to be scare. After the assembly Jack, Ralph and Piggy started to argue but Jack didn’t followed the rule of who had the conch has the right to speak and he was argue because he didn’t want Piggy to talk.

I’m going to talk about Jack and how has his behaviour and his personality has change.

Firstly I want to talk about how Jack’s personality has change because in this chapter. We can see that some days have passed and the boys have built two shelters, while everyone was near the beach Jack was hunting in the forest following a pig and we can see that Jack doesn’t behave at all like a normal person “Jack himself shrank at this cry for a minute became less hunter than a furtive thing” and that he looks to be mad “They were bright blue, eyes that in this frustration seemed balting and nearly mad” and that he only thinks about meat and killing pigs “From the pig-run came the quick, hard patter of hoofs, a castanet sound, seductive, maddening – the promise of meat.”

Secondly I’m going to speak about Jack’s obsession with pigs and meat because in this  chapter we see that Jack is no more himself and he only thinks about killing pigs and getting meat to eat because they have been eating fruit and peanuts since they have dropped in and they want meat, we knew from the beginning that Jack likes hunting so he decided to be the leader of “The hunters”, after hunting Jack went  back to the beach and he started to argue with Ralph about how useless are the boys but Jack said “I went on. I thought, by myself—-” The madness came into his eyes again. “I thought I might kill” here we can see that Jack is not more himself and he only wants meat.
