Rosalie: Jack's Propeller

This is the biggest problem with Rosalie (if you, shakes collar nervously, discard the writing). If Jack turns into a fighter-jet, why does he grow a propeller on his face? I could sit here and give you all this BS about how Jack is a fantastical jet plane, and it's a book about a boy who becomes a jet plane, but the truth is -- I don't really know much about planes. I've got to hand it to my colleague Jon, with whom I worked in the kitchen at Wetherspoons. Jon was a few years older than me, and he was one of the most intelligent people I've ever met -- he always used to listen to various podcasts while we worked which no doubt informed his sharp intellect. It was from Jon that I, embarrassingly, learned jet planes don't have propellers. Problem was, I had already embarked on Rosalie's Revenge by this point.

Look, it's a fantasy book. It's not meant to be realistic. I don't care. The death in the book's third act in which Jack's dissolves the biker's face in his propeller is hella cool ( I suppose he could've melted the biker's face with jet fuel; although we all know jet fuel can't melt bikers' faces). I was in too deep to change things.

Jack's transformation did go badly wrong, that be said. While Rosalie was able to control herself, Jack very much turned into an aggro monster. I think the propeller is the perfect symbol of that. I mean, most teen boys have to worry about acne on their face (I myself have a ton despite being nearly thirty). Jack just has an extreme version of that.
