Everyone is just runnin’ around and acting like they own the place, even though we have a goal we all should we working towards, which is getting rescued and getting of this island. We need everybody working together and trying to fill out roles to help up, makin homes, getting fresh water, tending the fire so we can signal whenever ships come around the island. But why won’t everyone listen to me? The other boys, whether it be the littluns or older ones, they all just listen to jack or ralph even if they don’t have the conch, but they never listen to me even if I do have it. What am I supposed to do? I’m trying to create a society for us to live in so we don’t become a band of savages, and be able to live long enough to have somebody rescue us.
Jack is already becoming like a savage, always going on about killing pigs and eating meat, instead of helping with making shelters or watching after the littluns. He beat me just because I want to keep order and everybody doesn’t run off again and ruin our chances of escaping the island. The only other person who listens is ralph, and even then, they all don’t listen to him, and rather follow jack and his “hunts”. If he actually helped, we wouldn’t having problems in the first place, does nobody notice the importance of being rescued anymore? All they do is run off and do something they’re excited about, which leaves only ralph and simon to actually do something productive which is to work on the shelters.
Being a civil society should be an easy thing to be able to do, we all have roles and fill them out as we try to wait for rescue. We make shelters, we hunt for wild animals, we collect fruits to eat as well, we collect fresh water to drink, we watch after the littluns and the most important one, we watch after the fire so we can actually be rescued off the island. But they’re all just kids and they just run off to the sound of something “exciting” and ignore everything important altogether, I feel I should just outright ban this “hunting” business, because it was what jeopardized our second chance to get off the island in the first place. Well it’s not like we don’t have other chances to try to get off, but we need to work together in order to actually get rescued, or else jack and them are just going to be a bunch of useless savages who only want to hunt.
