Jack 4
Why do you think Jack tends to put himself down and not be very good at accepting compliments?
I think it's because he is not very confident with the way he looks or the way he acts in some ways. Like when he forgot the first aid kit when Pete ate the peanut butter cookie he felt that even though he saved him and ran as fast as he could to get it its the fact that he forgot it in the first place that he doesn't feel like an actual hero because he didn't save him sooner because he didn't have the first aid kit and walkie talkie and right at his fingertips. Like it slipped is mind.
I think it is because he has messed up so many times before, so he thinks he can't do anything right,and all of the good things hes done can't make up for the bad things.
I think its because he knows he's not the best he could be. I think he could be a lot better in school, at home to his family, everywhere if he just had a positive attitude!
I think it is because he does not think he can do anything. He thinks he is in the the way and is no help at all. I think if he felt like he could do something, he could do a lot more than just fly around in his dreams.
Well since he will be working out with Ryan every morning for the time he is at the Moon Shadow campground then i think he will try to work really hard and when he gets home he will keep working out at a local gym and maybe get in shape after trying hard and long enough.

ReplyDeleteI think that Jack needs to believe in himself more because he needs to feel good about himself and believe that he really is a star.
ReplyDeleteGreat thinking, everyone. What might it take for his self-image to change?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by self-image? Like, how he looks or what he thinks of himself?
ReplyDeleteYes -- the way in which he sees himself.
ReplyDeleteHe can start believing in himself more and thinking that he can actually do things.

ReplyDeletethis is a test!
ReplyDeleteI think he should start to believe he can do more than lucid dream.
ReplyDeleteTrue that!
ReplyDeleteI say that because Jack really can do things but he dosn't believe in himself and thats what is holding him back.
