Lord of the Flies Journal #3

Chapter# 3 Huts on the Beach Perspective: Ralph
A lot of Stress!
I have to say that being the leader of this Island has been stress full. I have to take in every one's ideas a decide what is best for all of us. It has also been a big task to keep the little ones in line. At some times I think that it is fun for us to be on our own and I get excited at the thought of us being independent and not having to listen to what our parents have to say. I think that once we have most things figured out and get settled in, this could be a fun place to live.
Today me Ralph and Simon went to go hunting for meat and more pigs like the one we had saw the day before. Simon and I ended up getting in a little disagreement with Jack. He wanted to keep looking for meat when we clearly couldn't find any more pigs and Simon and I wanted to go build shelters. I know that Jack could stop thinking about himself all the time and he should do what is right for all of us. Meat is not our main priority we could live off fruit. I don't know about anyone else but I do know that I was tired of sleeping outside and I also know that if there is any rain we need the shelters. Also I have been working for weeks on building these shelters and I am mad that Simon is the only one that is helping me. I think that if people want to have some where to sleep then they should help build it.All they want to do is have fun and swim and hunt. Simon later went some where and I am not clear as to where he went but I know that he wasn't back until almost dark.
I think that everyone is working together pretty well. We should be rescued pretty soon and I think that we will survive and that is what we mostly need to do.

I like how you were desribing what happened in the chapter. I but you said "Today me Ralph and Simon went to go hunting for meat and more pigs like the one we had saw the day before." when you were supposed to be talking in Ralphs perspective. I agree when you said " At some times I think that it is fun for us to be on our own and I get excited at the thought of us being independent and not having to listen to what our parents have to say." because thats true in the book.
