Lord of the Flies
Chapter 3 - Huts on the Beach
"Got to catch that Pig"
Perspective: Jack
Dear Journal,
Ralph is batty. He thinks that the shelters are more important then getting meat and that me and the rest of the hunters should stop hunting to help him with the shelters for the littluns. They are fine sleeping where they are but we need meat badly. The choir boys have to hunt but there are still plenty of other boys to help build the shelters. That is the way it goes I hunt and my boys also hunt and keep the fire going and everyone else is supposed to build shelter. But we have to hunt. We can not live of fruit alone and and there are pigs on the island. We can hunt the pigs. I know I can kill them. The vicissitudes are going to be worth it when I kill that pig. And Ralph will be glad to have meat when I do kill it. All he does is make shelters with Simon.

That boy is a cracker. Simon always seems so nice but then he goes of fainting and acts all strange. And he always walks off and dissapears. Then he comes back and either acts all contrite about it or acts like it never happened. He has a compulsion to be nice that I can't understand. He actually helps Ralph. Ralph will turn this island into a jail with rules of some sort if we don't rescued. But I can go off and hunt. I could leave the group and make it. I could survive if I don't get rescued. And I will kill that pig and we shall have meat despite what Ralph says. He thinks that shelter is mroe important but living off of fruit is something we will get tired of. W ned meat and he thinks that I should dtop wasting my time but Iam not. I think I am inscrutable to him. When he was telling me what to do this opaque look came over him and I dont understand why he thinks that hunting is silly. I will kill that pig. I know I will.
