Why does the piglet trapped in the creeper vines escape in lord of the flies?
Jack does not kill the piglet in chapter one because he is just a boy. He was the head boy in a choir, he probably came from a priviledged background, and had never had to kill anything before in his life.

How do you operate the car jack for the Jeep Liberty?
To remove the jack from the seat you have to loosen the bolt, should be able to do it with your hand. Then to get the jack out of the holder, take the piece with a slightly curved edge to loosen it, then assemble but make sure that the first piece that goes into the jack is locked in securely, I broke the tip off because it wasnt locked it. Hope this helps!
