Jack's Monologue


Why did I do that?

Why must I always be swayed by the influences of other people?

Now I know the truth. I know the judge was my real father.

How could I have not known?

Why didnt I realize before?

He always treated me like his son.

It was so obvious I can't believe I didn't notice.

I wish I would have known before I put him through this.

He really was a good father to me. He always treated me as a son should be treated.

And now I betray him like this.

How could I have been so careless?

I have caused my own father's suicide.

Just as he caused another man to kill himself.

I have followed my father in the path I wish not to have followed.

Why do I always follow Mr. Stark's orders?

I must learn to think for myself and not carry out orders I know are wrong.

I am so sorry I did this to my good friend.

I don't know if I'll ever feel the same after this.

I wish my father hadn't taken it so harshly though.

Why did he have to kill himself?

I wish he had just complied with Willie.

It would have spared him his life and myself all this pain.

All these years I wish I would have known.


I wish he would have told me at least now that I am older.


I never thought my mom would keep a secret like this from me.


I can't believe I never knew and now its too late.

Interesting picture Jordan. He kind of looks like someone who should have known better. Try to answer some of the questions you pose. Maybe Jack was more interested in knowing the truth than caring about people at least in the beginning anyway. Check that out. Ask some of the bigger questions too. - Mrs. Elmeer
