Answers
Yes, Jack made it appear as if he has an affinity with not only Roger Skunk, but with other characters also. He was a good story teller. He knew how to make it look real and appealing by blending his personal effects.
When Jack was narrating skunk’s misery on account of his bad smell, he remembered his own humiliations of his childhood, and mixed the sadness in the tone. Jo liked these effects very much.
Similarly, when he would describe the wizard’s part, he would give special voice effects which made his voice appear like that of the wizard.
In conclusion we can say, Jack had the knack of making it appear as if he had affinity with all the characters in the story that he narrated to Jo quite often.
Jo’s constant question and her non acceptance of Jacks’ ending of the story appears to be a threat to his authority He believes that adults know best! Jack feels threatened by Jo’s attitude and when he finds that she is restless after he has come downstairs, he uses the ultimate weapon of adult authority-does she want him to spank her, he asks. Reminded of his own upbringing-Mother is always right the message is clear- adults know best
