Victory is Finally Mine
Today I got fed up with Ralph being the leader and not even doing the job right. He is a coward and doesn't know the least bit about being a leader. Yesterday, I was the first to go up the mountain and he was scared but no know one acknowledged that. I could feel it in my blood that he was terrified but he would not show it in front of me or any of the other boys. So today there was a change, I called the meeting and I blew on the conch. Today I was going to be herd by the rest of the boys and they were going to see how much of a bad leader that Ralph is. So when I called the meeting, I told all of the boys how I had gone up the mountain before Ralph and how much of a coward he was when we were about to go up the mountain and kill the beastie. I also realized how tired I was of being bossed around by boy that didn't even know what he was talking about, so I asked the boys who voted that Ralph should no longer be leader. No one raised their hands, I don't know if they were just all shocked or what but I did know that I was very mad. I wasn't going to stay with these boys any longer.
I was going to go off on my own and I made sure to tell every one that they were welcome to join me and hunt when I say hunt and I would be the leader. Man you should have seen the look on Ralph's face he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He thought that he was the prefect around this island but that clearly was not true. Sure enough all of the hunters and most of the older kids followed me and I made it a taboo to dis- obey me. I might even have them go back to standing in their demure two rows. As you could probably assume, I wanted to have a big feast in honor of me being one of the chiefs. So the first thing we did was go out hunting for a pig. We painted our faces so that we almost looked demoniac. Once I finally found pig droppings, they led me to a sow. We all cornered and caught the sow this was the most fun catching that I ever had. I got on top of the pig and stabbed and stabbed her until she was finally dead and all the boys began stabbing her it was like I was a baby in the candy store. Then one of the boys stuck his rifle right up her butt. Then I dug into the sow and paunched her leaving all the guts on the rocks. I decided it would be best to leave some for the beast since he of course likes meat. I chopped off the sows head and left that for the beast.
We had no way to cook the pig so the other boys and I went and raid Ralph's camp for fire wood. This was also a good chance for me to rub in that I had caught a pig. I invited the other boys to the feast of course but I knew they were too demure to accept the invitation. I am having so much fun as leader I give the orders and don't take them. I think that eventually every one will come to my side and see how good of a leader that I am. For now, I will get some rest so that tomorrow I will have the energy to catch another pig.
