Chapter 5- beast from the water.
" why must it be so complicating. "
Perspective: Ralph
A few little ones asked me why I called an assembly. I tell them that I needed to lay down some more rules, however that wasn’t the only reason. I also wanted to make sure I had control over the group; I thought I had that but by the end of the meeting I lost that idea. Over all in that meeting I wanted to make the little ones feel safe be addressing a few concerns. For example we eventually got to the topic of the beastie, we discussed it and I think with the older people agreeing that there is no beastie it made them feel a bit better. With the talk we brought up were to use the restroom, how to properly get water and how important it is to keep up the signal fire. I think by talking about these things with the group life on the island may improve.
I am starting to feel like jack is against me. It like he’s tempestuously watching me waiting for a change to disagree with me and piss me off. It’s like he just wants to hate me just because I beat him out of leadership. To me he is actually a effigy of a bad leader. He doesn’t obey rules and puts people down. I can’t think too much about it though, I need to remain in control of the group and make life on this island a joy not a strange nightmare. I am concerned that I am not reaching out to the little ones enough. I am afraid that I am a discursive, ludicrous person trying to hang on to leadership of the group and maintain a form of organization.
I am somewhat worried for the little ones they toss and turn in their sleep, however those ones are lucky. Most of them cry them self to sleep. I can hear them suffering from lamentation once everything becomes quite. And I can imagine why, personally I am too exhausted at the end of the day to cry or even worry about life back home: However they are still young and their minds tend to race to conclusions. They are probably thinking that they will never get home and never see their parents again. They feel lost and hopeless. I can’t help this; I need to run the group. Plus they will probably get over it. Percival Wemys Madison that name keeps ringing in my head. I mean how I could forget it. Once we asked for the 100th time he told us everything there is to know about him. Like he was writing a “if found please send here” card. But he reminded us of the beastie and how we should all fear its mysterious evil. In the end it was only Simon. I think this made the idea of a beastie seem a bit more fictional.
Looking back at it, when Simon brought up that question about what we thought the dirtiest was he could have learned so much. If every one were to answer that than he could really get to look inside of people and see how that person thinks and reacts to things. Personally I think it’s those damn Nazis. They are the reason we are on this island in the 1st place. They cause so much hate. They destroyed order and brought fear to people in all parts of the globe.
When I dropped on this island I looked at myself as a thinker and somewhat of a leader. After meeting piggy I know otherwise. He is a truly smart person, and now that I have realized that I can take him a bit seriously. See to me Jack is the enemy, Piggy is the thinker, and Simon is the people person. As a leader my acts need to benefit as many people as it can. The more people like it the better the group thinks of me. And being a leader well, it’s actually harder than it seems. If people disagree with you it really gets to you, you want to change that and they are stuck up and think poorly of you………… jack.
