I think the book of law represents the logical side. If he chose it, that will mean he will use logic as opposed to emotion to make decisions. The compass represents direction. He will be able to find his way both literally and mentally. He can become a leader. The comic book represents his imagination. He will have the ability to look at things from outside the box. The knife represents the hunter side. Shows aggression. The glove represents his willingness to help people. If you have ever read The Catcher In The Rye it is sort of the same thing. The main character saw himself as the protector of the innocence of children catching them before they become corrupt. The vial represents the island. Something that would show Richard he is connected to the island
