I noticed that Jack is looking for the opportunity to recreate himself, something he does in his fantasies throughout the book. Away from the people who have judged him, Jack hopes that he can prove himself to be different than the boy he was in Seattle, running with a dangerous crowd and wreaking havoc with the police and people at school. Jack believes "no obstacle to miraculous change but the incredulity of others," and this belief that he can be somebody different both scares and pushes Jack to do better.
Do you think by the end of the book Jack will change his ways and be the person he wants to become, despite what the world has set for him?

I think it almost has nothing to do with what the world thinks of him because so far no matter where he goes his situations are still similar.
ReplyDeleteI think the same thing as you do Moses, because he seems to keep doing bad things and getting caught up with the wrong people everywhere.
