Lord of the Flies: Journal #5

Chapter 5 -  Beast from the Water

This is Just Getting to Crazy - Simon

Today Ralph called a meeting, but it wasn't like other times.  This time Ralph was really mad and strict, he was just really direct and to the point.  I think that he is still upset about that whole ship thing.  Ralph made new rules and really made the point today that he was our chief, he really took advantage of that today. Of course the whole time Jack was just looking at him jeeringly.  The meeting was actually going kind of okay, until someone mentioned it, the beastie.

This time Percival brought it up, and when he did everyone went crazy, everyone wanted to talk at the same time and it was ludicrous.  That was definitely a time where we needed adults.  When it came to the beastie we only got to the conclusion that since it's not on the island it's probably a water beastie.  Don't tell Jack but I actually believe in the beastie, I  mean why would the littluns make up something like that, and they seem like their really scared, at night I can hear  lamentaion. Even though Jack and Ralph act like they don't believe in the beastie, I'm sure they do, and I'm sure their just as scared as everyone else.
