Fyse Final Draft
Understanding Loyalty, Trust, and Deception Through an Analysis of Jack Ryan in Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October and Its 1990 Film Adaptation Rachel Collins FYSE Espionage in Film and Fiction 13 December 2014 !1 In his debut 1984 novel The Hunt for Red October, Tom Clancy introduces the character of Jack Ryan as a CIA analyst and protagonist that classically upholds the fictional spy agent’s values of trust and loyalty, as defined by Alan Wolfe in his article “On Loyalty.” Ryan, not an agent, but rather an analyst for the CIA, is thrown into the world of spies and proves his capability through his balanced loyalties, intelligent trust, and straightforward actions. This thrilling character was easily transformed into an unforgettable hero both through Clancy’s novel and its 1990 film adaptation. In both the novel and film, through constant internal and external conflicts concerning trust and loyalty, Jack Ryan expresses the needlessness of deception and what it means to be a spy in a fictional story. To further examine Jack Ryan as a fictional spy character, the definition of loyalty must first be explored so it can be applied to him as a CIA agent. For this, Alan Wolfe, political scientist and sociologist on the faculty of Boston College, in his article “On Loyalty” successfully outlines a thorough definition of the concept of loyalty that will be used throughout this paper. Wolfe argues, “Loyalty is an important virtue because honoring it establishes that there is something in the world more important than our immediate instincts and desires” (48).

260 Journey Matthew 12 – January 16 Taking My 18,000 Real Seriously
260 JOURNEY MATTHEW 12 – JANUARY 16 TAKING MY 18,000 REAL SERIOUSLY What was trending on Amazon right now is the resurgence of Jack Ryan - the CIA analyst. Some knew him as Harrison Ford, others Chris Pine and us old guys knew him as Alec Baldwin. Jack Ryan is Tom Clancy’s creation. How many of you heard of Tom Clancy and his thriller books? “Hunt for Red October,” “Patriot Games,” “Clear and Present Danger,” “The Sum of All Fears,” “Without Remorse.” His works are always very thick, about 500-700 pages. There are 1/2 million to 3/4 million words in an average Tom Clancy novel. How long would it take you to say as many words as he writes in one of his books? According to researchers, each person here will open his mouth an average of 700 times in a day. In those 700 times, you will use an average of 18,000 words a day. Those 18,000 words would translate to about 54 printed pages. That means that in one year, an average person would fill... 66 books of 800 pages each. Every year you write with your words 66 volumes that are larger than those Tom Clancy novels. THAT’S A LOT OF WORDS! WHY DO THOSE 18,000 WORDS each day MATTER? PROVERBS 18:21 tells us vividly WHY WORDS MATTER. PROVERBS 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Another version says it like this… Proverbs 18:21 (MSG) 21 Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit - you choose.
