Ch.3

Dear Diary,

 

    Jack keeps trying to track down a pig and kill it for meat. Meanwhile back on the beach, Ralph and Simon build shelters for the younger boys. Ralph seems to be getting frustrated because the shelters keep falling down before they are completed. I can't help but to overhear an argument between Jack and Ralph while they are on the beach. Ralph explains to Jack that he is frustrated because all of the other boys do a little bit of work, and then they go and play.

 

    Ralph explains that there is no use in calling another meeting to tell the boys that the need to put work before play. He says that the reason for this is because the boys act like they are on board, but yet they don’t listen. They will do a few minutes of work, then they will just go play again. Ralph also points out that Jack's hunters have failed to catch a single pig. Jack relies to this by saying that the hunters will soon have more success in killing a pig.

 

    Ralph also tells Jack that he is worried about all of the younger children having nightmares and being unable to sleep. However, it looks to me like Jack isn't really listening to Ralph. Jack and Ralph continue to argue about building shelters and hunting pigs. The boys are beginning to grow more hostile toward each other. This hostility could grow and become a hatred between the boys. This situation could affect all of us if some of the other boys choose to side with either Ralph or Jack.
