Lord of the Flies: Journal #7

Chapter 7 - Shadows & Tall Trees

It's Getting Weirder & Weirder Every Day - Ralph

Well were still here, on this island... now were looking for a 'beastie', and I think were wasting our time, there can't really be a beastie on this island, the closest we have to a beastie on this island is Jack.  I mean were risking our lives on the other side of the island looking for something that the litluns probably just had a nightmare about or something.  We could be doing something more important right now like gathering food or building more huts, but no were here hunting the beastie.

No one respects me as chief anymore, except for Piggy, I wonder how Piggy's keeping up with the littluns right now.  I hope Simon's okay, we asked someone to volunteer to go out in the windy jungle to go tell Piggy that we were okay, and Simon volunteered right away, he was so impervious, I thought that that was very strange, but I guess he just wanted to help, it was very bravado and sagely of him, I mean it's a really long journey across the moors.
