When Jack says, "I'm not going to play any longer", what metaphor is Golding using about their lives on the island? How do Jack's words contrast with Ralph's ideas? When Jack says "I'm not going to play any longer" is shows that he believes that this whole time on the island has been a game to him. He hasn't taken it seriously like Ralph and Piggy have been. It also shows that Jack isn't as mature as Ralph is when it comes to situations on the island. |

Jack's whole experience on the island has ben taken as a game to him, a game where surviving with rules was the objective. It seems tnat Jack has now gotten bored with this game amd is looking to create his own. These words contrast with Ralph's ideas, as Jack is not persuing rescue, but an enjoyable life on the island. Yes you can really see how to jack the journey of survival is just a gme to him and he really doesn't care about being rescued. |

When Jack says, "I'm not going to play any longer", what metaphor is Golding using about their lives on the island? How do Jack's words contrast with Ralph's ideas? By Jack saying that "I'm not going to play any longer", suggests that to Jack their whole experience on the island is a game, much like his hunting game, and he can simply remove himself from it by leaving Ralph and the others. This also explains what Jack thinks of Ralph and the way he is leading. Ralph's ideas have always been around being rescued and doing everything possible to look after themselves until they are. By Jack saying that he won't play any longer, suggests that he may not want to be rescued at all and wants to hunt rather than work as a group to get off the island. I agree that jack says this as a way to exclude himself from the others and that it shows that he really doesn't want to get off the island. |
