The conch was a total success.
It reunited all the boys all over the island... Except, I don't have quite a good feeling about a group of boys that appeared to look like a moving creature, with black cloaks and caps. They truly intimidate me. Especially their leader, Jack Merridew.
During the assembly I knew there had to be a leader and as expected Ralph was chosen by vote. In a way, I'm glad it wasn't Jack Merridew, there's something to him and his choir that I don't like.
After the meeting Ralph wants to go exploring with Jack and they take Simon with them. I wonder why they didn't let me accompany them––I had the idea of the conch, besides, I knew Ralph before him.
On another note, I have been very bothered by the ridicule that's been made of me: Ralph told everyone my name is Piggy and I guess that's how I will stay––sadly.
To me the division of power and jobs on the island is crucial. But to start with, Ralph's priorities don't seem to be the smartest ones––he wants to have fun.
And to be honest I'm not liking his attitude towards me, how he made me stay behind getting all the names––I want to work with him, I don't want to stay behind.
