chapter 2 response



Lord of the Flies
Chapter 2 - fire on the mountain
"I will survive"

Perspective: Jack



This island, it feels too comfortable. It’s like I was born to come here. It is making me think of things that I would have never thought of before. I am noticing objects that I would have never seen before. It’s changing me, and I think it’s also changing the people around me. I think piggy is martyred from how we are treating him. I mean he is fat and stupid so he should be happy if he gets any attention at all, not whining all the time. This “beastie” that the little kid was talking about is nothing more than a myth. It was probable creepers that he was rubbing against when he was running through the forest at night. I think it symbolizes that little kids should only be trusted for work not survival input. It makes me feel like our stay on this island with these errant little kids will be full if imagination. And I swear those kids capering really gets on my nerves.
Rescue, it sounds so simple and easy but now that I think about it is going to be a long time before it happens. We need to pull through this and save as many people as we can. We are goanna have to get things done fast and correctly if we want to survive.
The fire was a good idea. I got a chance to show my leader ship skills, I jumped right on that task and got it done quickly. It’s not my fault we almost burned the island to a crisp and killed a kid or two, that’s all Ralphs fault. After all he is the leader. I am glad that kid with the mark on his face is gone, now he can’t fill our minds with fictional demons. With this event I may be able to induce the other kids into calling a group leader revote. However I learned one thing when the fire happened, little kids are officious.
I am above everyone else on this bloody island. I am a leader, a hunter, a worker, and an idea maker. The group should learn this because the sooner they do the better. As life here goes on they will lose hope for Ralph and come crawling to me.
When I go to sleep every night I have one thing in my mind, to survive. That’s number one, for me to survive. I mean realistically that’s all I care about. And as long as I am in the same place as I was yesterday I am doing okay with surviving.
