What do you think about Jack's self-control and how he feels about himself?
Comment with what YOU think:
To me, it seems like he doesn't think he is capable of doing anything. Jack also clearly has no control over himself, and this lack of self-control is exactly what scares Jack most of all about the rifle he gets. When he killed the squirrel, Jack he discovered a part of himself that has potential to harm others. Throughout the book, i've noticed that there are many instances in which Jack's thoughts conflict with his behavior, and these instances are typically followed by guilt, an apolegetic feeling and self-examination.

I think he is aware of himself, he knows that he would not be able to control himself if he was with the gun again. Being aware of a flaw is unique and extremely difficult.
