Long Answer

1. First, he immediately declares himself in charge of the boys, despite protests from several group members. He shoots down a proposal from Colin to hold an election for a leader. He also senses the power vacuum left by Jonathan, who does not want to lead, so he slips in quickly to fill that void. (Chapter 9)

2. The librarian tells Jonathan he does not need a future because he has a past. In his opinion, you can only have one or the other. The librarian has lived on the island so long that he can’t imagine a life or a future beyond the island. Therefore, he is most comfortable talking about the past. (Chapter 19)
