Nobody Listens to Me

     We had a second meeting that day. Ralph blew the conch and everyone gathered about.

Jack's attitude is bothering me to an extent: he interrupted Ralph in the assembly to say that hunting was important! How dare he! There are priorities we must work together to have those done before we focus on having fun and hunting. At least something good came out of this––now whoever has the conch is the only one allowed to talk. Thank God a process for order and civil discourse is finally established.

     Since I'm pretty sure that nobody knows our exact location I let everyone know that we might be here for a pretty long time. The first thing to do is obviously: ignite a fire. This way, it'll serve as a signal for passing ships and there will be hope of getting rescued.

     Something peculiar happened then, one of the little ones mentioned there was a "beast" that scared him at night. I was surprised but not very worried, there is no beast on the island. Whatever the boy was scared of was probably a nightmare.

     Then I realize mentioning the fire drives Jack insane and he leads the rest of the boys to the mountain. What a reckless action––losing all consent for the conch. 

This was unbelievable! They all left running like madmen behind Jack. I took the conch since everyone else had forgot about it and carried it to the top of the mountain. On top of that they used my glasses to ignite the fire and they let it go out of control.

    I had to speak up then, in proper terms I told them that they're actions were irresponsible. Starting a fire like that and letting it out of control to were the smaller kids were playing was highly irresponsible. I'm pretty sure the boy with a mark in his face is gone missing––it's all their fault. Why wouldn't they think of building shelters first? Don't they have any vision at all? This is unbelievable.
