Lord of the Flies~Journal Entry #6

Chapter: Separation
Jack’s Journal

Today we had a meeting, and I said that there was definetly some sort of a beastie on the island. After that, I couldn’t stand Ralph and all of his pointless rules. He reminded me of a prefect in the way that he always had rules to go by. I had to get away with people that wanted to have fun, and who wanted to hunt. So, I decided to make my own group. I took a vote, and, to my surprise, everyone wanted to stay with Ralph. I didn’t like that at all because I knew that they were only staying with them because they thought I didn’t want to get rescued. I knew htat they wanted to hunt. So, I easily convinced them to follow me. They did, and we went to have fun killing a mother pig.
It was wrong that we slaughtered it, but at least it was out of fun and it wasn't in a demonaic way (in my opinion). I was sick of all of those rules, though, and I was hungry. Also, there were no adults on this island, were there? That's what I felt like saying to Ralph. I can picture saying that to him; his demure expression draining from his face. But, after we paunched the pig, we came to a problem. We had to cook it somehow, so I decided that we should go steal the fire. Everyone agreed with me as they normally did. I just had many more great ideas than Ralph did--I wish there was a taboo around his name--and finally people were realizing that.
We stole the fire with ease, and as we did, it was clear that there were having way less fun than we were. All they were doing was sitting on the hard ground talking. It looked really boring. That only reassured me that we were doing the right thing. We went back and cooked our delicious meat. I knew they wanted to eat the meat, so I savored it n my mouth. I thought of another great idea; keep the pigs head where we camped out for the beastie. Then, while we were out, the beastie wouldn’t bother us. It was yet another one of my great ideas that everyone (in the fun group at least) liked.
In my opinion it was so easy to just go about with no rules, so that’s what I’m doing.
