Lord of the Flies: Journal #3
Chapter: Huts on a Beach
Perspective: Piggy
I think Ralph had a compulsion to vent after a conversation made with Jack and himself. It seemed to be about some inscrutable vicissitudes. He explained to me that the only people working on this island to keep around 30 people alive, were Simon and Ralph. Ralph said that Jack said that he was working hard to keep all of us alive. Jack claimed to be hunting, but in actuality, he hadn't caught anything at all, and he was really just tracking a few pigs around the island. Ralph seemed really mad about that. He said that if he wanted a worthless hunter, that's what he would've asked for! He seemed to be overreacting a little, like he was opaque with anger and frustration.
Simon on the other hand, was working very hard with Ralph to finish these shelters that they were creating. They were basically just holes in the ground, and they had palm leaves and other kinds of leaves intertwined with each other to make some kind of a waterproof roof.
I felt pretty bad for not working today. I was playing in the water in the bathing pool. The water was so warm and clear, it was just so easy to loose myself in all its beauty and peace. I completely lost track of time and realized that I had been rapt by all the tropics of this gorgeous island. Everything was so peaceful and pretty, I just couldn't help but get caught up. Before I knew it, it was past noon, probably around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I probably wouldn't be that much of a help anyways.
I talked to Simon tonight, also. He just couldn't stop talking about his moment in the sunset. He described it as the most amazing, peaceful, quiet, nice moment he had ever had. I thought it would have to be quite a sunset to make Simon talk as much as he did. I was happy for him. Ever since the fire, he'd been nothing but pout. He didn't say much at all to anyone except for 'yes' and 'okay' and 'I'd be happy to help', but all that was with a very sad, depressed look on his face. But now, He's happy and even smiling sometimes! I feel so happy for him.

I like how you the creativeness how you was thinking, and how you showed that you was that person and it was very detailed
