Lord of the Flies: Journal #8

Chapter 8 - Gift for the darkness

Finally - Jack

Finally, everyone is starting to see that I am a better leader than Ralph, finally everyone is getting some sense in there head.  I knew from the beginning that Ralph wasn't going to make a good chief, so he blew the conch and brought us all together, big deal.  I happen to be a prefect, which makes me have much better leadership skills.  Ralph doesn't do anything around here, all he does is boss us around and blow that stupid shell.  Now that I am the leader of most of the boys, I can do anything and I can tell them to do anything I want, we won't have to follow Ralph's stupid rules & taboo's.

Today was a very productive day, much more productive than it would have been if Ralph was in charge. Not only did I separate from Ralph, get my own followers, and take Ralph's fire but I also killed a very large pig, well some of the boys helped, but I did most of it.  Now that I'm in charge I see a very bright future ahead of us.  I think that I'm being very demure about this whole thing.
