The Characters of Roger and Jack
Roger is a sadist and Jack is a dictator. Or are they the true survivors in the novel. What do you think?
I think both Jack and Roger represent the way humans would act if they were put into a situation such as the stranded boys are. Jack and Roger could be considered the weakest though because, they seem more susceptible to a savage way of living. In one way or another they are survivors...I'm not sure about being the true survivors though. They are surviors in that they are the stronger group of boys on the island. But they had to lose their values in order to do so.
