More Meat

Jack's Journal

I have been wondering through the jungle for about 2 hours now without any sign of pigs anywhere. Suddenly I see something move behind some bushes, I quickly through my spear into the bushes. I missed, feeling like i will never kill a pig, I heard the voice of Ralph. I looked around and saw Ralph standing on the beach. Ralph saw me and started yelling at me for not helping him with the huts. Why does he have to ask me, why can't he have the other boys help him. Ralph is so ludicous about being rescued, he wants to be rescued as soon as possible but i know we need to stay alive rather than trying to get rescued. If we are going to survive on this island, we are going to have to get more meat. Ralph started talking about how all my hunters were swimming and playing around, instead of helping out. I know Ralph is just trying help get everyone home, but he needs to relax first. Ralph is not going to do anything until he starts having some fun. Besides, the only person i see helping Ralph is Simon.

Later on i started getting mad because i could not catch a pig, so i brought the hunters to help me on my journey. We were hiking through the jungle when i heard something, I knew it meant meat. Suddenly one of my hunters decided to jump on the pig. From there on out, the pig was ours. We formed a circle around the pig so it had not escape, then we all attacked it. It was an insane battle between us and the pig. People were falling, the pig was squealing, but after a minute or two, I slit its throat and we finally concord it.

We walked home with pride on our shoulders. When we got back to the beach, Ralph looked at me malevolently. I told Ralph about our magnificent victory against the pig, but all he could do was tell me that a ship was on the horizon and there was no fire with a effigy of sorrow on his face. At that moment, I felt extremely bad about letting the fire die but I felt that we needed to survive instead of trying to get rescued as fast as we could. I apologized for my mistake of letting the fire die and told everyone to light the fire again. We had a pig roast not long after that, I ate without any decorum because i have not had meat in a decade. Ralph still had a look in his eyes like he is going to tempestuously attack me. I would think he would accept my apology and forget about this.
