A team captain of a sports team is usually in charge of everyone and what the team has to do. They’re very serious in their job, but violence might not occupy their mind. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Jack is stranded on an island, and will do anything to survive. In the beginning Jack is an unpleasant leader of a group of choir boys. But then he turned into a vicious savage.
Jack is a rude leader of a group of choir boys and doesn’t care about how anyone else feels.

His next move is to get Ralph so that he has full leadership on the island. His commitment to violence is his way of leadership, while his transformation to savage is
