...Jacks Journey Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who lived in a kingdom far far away. A night, when the princess was on her way to bed, an ugly witch with a wart on the nose, kidnapped the princess. The witch flew the princess back to her place. No one had ever visited the house, because it was almost impossible to get there. The witch’s house was located in the middle of a big maze. To get to the maze, you had to climb over mountains and get over a wild river. The king announced publicly that the one, who could bring back his daughter, would get the princess and half the kingdom. Many people tried to get to the witch’s house, but they all failed. At the other end of the kingdom, a lazy boy named Jack,T lived in a house with his parents. Jack always sat inside his house doing nothing. But when he heard, that the princess had been kidnapped, he decided to go out and save her. Jack brought an apple with him so he would not get hungry. No one believed in Jack, not even his parents. They thought Jack was stupid, trying to get to the witch’s house barefooted, only bringing an apple to eat. Jack’s parent would not let him go, but he had already made up his mind. Jack carried the apple in his hand and left the kingdom. Soon Jack came to an old hut. Inside the hut, an old man was lying in a bed. He was very dirty and probably sick too. The old man looked like he had been lying in the bed for ages. He saw the apple in Jack’s hand. “Please give me your apple. I am starving...

...WRT101 Professor Drozd 3, May 2013 Four Characters on Trial With Jack presently in his third of college, he is passing but with below average work. His mother frowned upon him that he was not doing a letter grade better. Jack’s mother wanted him to go to law school, just like his father. She had also mentioned that if Jack’s GPA did not go up any higher, he would not get the car or the trip promised. Professor Brown, Jack’s sociology professor had told him “You probably don’t belong in college anyway”. Jack had to get help, so he turned to his friend Victor. Victor had done the work for Jack, but Jack promised Victor he would owe him money. Jack, is a college student who is struggling to keep his grades up and must do so to please the people around him. Jack was wrong to go to his friend Victor for help and should have gone to the writing center instead. One reason could be, that Jack is obligated to bump up his grade in sociology because if he does not then his mother will be displeased with him. Jack was doing below average work in sociology, he could have felt like he needed an easier way out of this despicable situation. Another reason Jack had Victor write his paper for him, could have been the fact that Jack was under a tremendous amount of stress. Jack wanted to please his mother and professor by getting a good grade on the make-up paper, but did not want to get a bad grade. Professor Brown, told Jack that his paper was disgraceful and had no chance of receiving a passing...

..."Jack, I’m cold” said Rose. Jack said, “It’s ok Rose just hold on just a bit longer, a boat is bound to come back.” Ok Jack I trust you” said Rose. Just then Jack thought of an idea. He said “Rose, stay here I’ll be right back,” and he started swimming to dead bodies, and every time he got to a dead body he took the life jacket from them. He also took an oar that someone had abandoned. Pretty soon Jack had five life jackets and an oar and he swam back to Rose. He gave Rose the oar and said, “Okay Rose, “I have some life jackets, I’m going to put them under the door so we can both get on but I’m going to need a part of your dress.” Okay, Jack,” said Rose, and she tore off a piece of her dress and gave it to Jack. He took the dress and started to tie the life jackets together. He put them underneath the door and secured them to the handles of the door. He said, “Rose, the door should be stable. I need you to hang on to the door while I get on.” “Okay,” said Rose.” Rose grabbed the handles on both sides of the door and Jack got on. Jack started to push the door with the oar. He saw a dead man and took his life jacket. He put the life jacket on and started to push the door away from the wreckage to try to get to a boat. “Rose,” he exclaimed! “I see two boats; they are coming back!” He started to yell trying to call the boats over. Someone in the boat shouted “Survivors, on that door!” Rose had fainted, so Jack rigorously shook her to try and wake her, but it was no use. He took...

...the first things that Jack said to all the boys, and it shows that before the savagery took over he believed a leader would be the best for all of them, but he did indeed let the savagery take over, and started to believe that there should not be rules. In fact, Jack even said "bullocks to rules" so it shows that he has changed. Which means that, the best leader in this case would have been Ralph, because he has stayed grounded, and has not drastically changed, he is more of a logical thinker, doesn't give in to the savagery, and always keeps...

...there was a little jack rabbit that had tiny, tiny ears and little legs. His main problem was that he could hear or get around very easily. His home was under this big oak tree in the forest, it was very cool and it kept the rain from getting him all wet. Mr. Jack was very friendly; everyone in the forest was his friends even his common enemy; like the coyote. But out of all his friends there was this one that Mr. Jack would always turn to for help or questions that he wanted answers to. This friend live in the upper part of the tree, he was an owl named Hoot.

...“Lies” is a short story written by Ethan Cain in 1988. The story is about Jack, an almost 18 – year old boy. He is kicked out of his parent`s house, but that was actually one of his own wishes. He works in a small theatre called Able`s where he sells tickets half of the time and works as a projectionist the other half of the time. Able`s is also the place where he meets his girlfriend, Katy. He does not love Katy at the very beginning, but after a couple of dates, he actually begins to fall in love with her. As the time goes by, Katy invites him to her sister`s wedding, and Jack gets the opportunity to meet Katy`s parents. After that, they plan to get married in November. But Jack has a second wish, which is to go up to Fountain Lake with Katy. One day Jack sees Katy in a red Cadillac, and together they go up to the Fountain Lake, and his dream becomes true. Jack is two months away to be 18 years old. He is not a boy no more, but a man who is about to get married. “Some guys my age are kids, but I`m eighteen and getting married that`s a big difference” (P 8, L 4-5). Jack sees himself as a grown man, who can take care of his own life. He feels that he is different than anybody else. I do not think that he had any role models he could look up to, so he decided to take care of his own. “Nobody ever told me they loved me before, except my mother, which is obvious” (P 2, L 1-2). It seems like Jack did not get any support from his family, especially not from his father. His wish was...

...LOTF- An Epilogue Jack dodged and slashed at the same time, saving himself from Ralph, but at the same time, trying to hurt him as much as possible. He knew Roger was close to them, throwing boulders down the mountain side. There was a lot of noise and confusion, the tribe's cheers, Jack's gasps and Piggy's screams, asking them to stop. Through all of that commotion, he heard one clear sound, a dangerous one. The sound of the boulder falling. He moved away from the falling piece of rock as fast as he could, only to see Piggy being struck off by a boulder. Before they could even move, Piggy fell off the mountainside and he knew in that very second, that it was not just Piggy's life; but also the only streak of innocence the boys had left in them that was lost. *** Jack woke up with a start, sweating and panting. He shook his head, trying to get those nasty memories as far away from his possible. He grabbed the clock, trying to read the time with his sleepy eyes. It was 6:15 already. There was still an hour left before his alarm rang off, but Jack wasn't sleepy. He got out of his bed and made himself coffee in the kitchen. He opened the door to his balcony and walked out, trying to soothe himself, getting the air in as much as possible. It was a cold winter morning and it was a big one for Jack.

... Lord of the flies essay This essay is going to show the extent of which Jack and Ralph symbolise the struggle between good and evil. As you read further on you should notice that Jack goes to a much larger extent to represent evil rather than good, however Ralph is the complete opposite. Jack uses his talent and skill to become a hunter and Ralph to try and keep order and rules over the Island. Jack is quite selfish but Ralph is more caring towards the other boys. The essay will compare Jack and Ralph and show some of the few similarities that they have; it will also show the competition between them to try and become leader. My first impression of Jack was that he is used to being the leader and he thinks is better than everyone else, he is self-centred and quite arrogant; however Jack does have some good leadership skills as he was head of the choir. I think this because in the book it says, “kid’s names, why should I be Jack? I’m Merridew.” This suggests that Jack thinks that he is higher in authority than all the other boys because he wants to be called by his surname instead of his first name (Jack). I think Ralph gives a better first impression than Jack because he was immediately thinking about organising the boys on the island in order to get them all rescued. This shows that Ralph wasn’t just thinking about himself, but the...
