Lord of the Flies 3

Huts on the Beach
“What’s up with people?”
Perspective: Piggy

1. Why is it important/not important to have shelter for the little ones?
It is important to have shelter for the little ones because they are scared of the beastie. Each night I have to wake up and hear them crying about it I can never sleep I have the ideas around here c’mon.
2. What are the various jobs assigned to the boys?
I had the job to take peoples name down but unfortunately, I did not so right now I do not feel like helping than I would be made fun of. The Choir has the hunting job. However, everybody is relaxing.
3. Why aren’t they carried out?
We need food to live and protection but I need to make up for what I did and help.
4. What do you feel is the most important task for survival? Explain.
I say the most important task is a hut because we cannot just be sleeping in the middle of the island we can be attacked by a wild animal so for now protection is more important than food.
5. Describe Simon. (If you are Simon, describe yourself)
That boy Simon is weird first he goes to being shy and fainting now he is stepping up by helping Ralph build the huts even though I’ am just relaxing. Simon is a small skinny boy with bright eyes and black hair; he has remains of clothes and has dark skin like a tan.
6. What do you think will happen on this island if you are not rescued soon?
I say that we might split up and fight against each other if we cannot work as a team. I do not want to betray each other but if that what they want than it is a war. We might kill each other and live until the death mainly last man or group standing.

Dear Diary,

I like this experience living on an island but mainly I have not had anyone to have love for me except my aunt that I miss now. I really want to back home I’ am growing up to early and I just wanted to go back to how everything was back home living with my aunt in a real home. Now I have to step up and I know if I work hard by my self to group my friends on the island I know my contrite parents would love what I have done and what I can do. Everybody makes fun of me as if I were a joke. I’ am inscrutable people in this island do not know me that well and what I kind do. Jack’s rapt manners are not good to help us live on the island, he soon might break up apart and we might have to fight against him. The vicissitudes of working together is not good now as Ralph and Simon are just working on the huts and Jack just complaining like always is driving me crazy. The reason why I didn’t do anything today was because whatever I do I would get laughed at or made fun of by Jack or his little group I never have the chance to say anything. The compulsion of Jacks mouth keeps on running to get his attention and to get what he wants I really despise that Jack. I really do not know what to do now because I know Ralph is surely still mad at me because I did not do my job but I need to show him that he can trust me. Without me, they would not have had a fire they would be freezing at night and what would we cook our food or fruit that we get with. I’ am the only one acting like an adult but today I was acting like a five year old getting his nap I didn’t really feel like being noisy or helping out until maybe tomorrow for I can impress Ralph for he can be happy at me than be mad at me now. I dont understand why Ralph doesn't get as mad as the hunters not helping but he gets mad at me. Seems like everyone in the island is againest me. I' am starting to think like an adult other people arent I say if we don't step up we will fall apart. I' am so sick of Jack saying things that he say's he is going to do but he ends up not doing it I just want to split up into groups but I don't want to fight.
