chapter 3 - LOTF

chapter 3- huts on the beach
perspective- ralph

ALL ME-

Lately, all of the littluns have been going everywhere and are so exhausted during the day because they are having nightmares about the thought that there might be a beastie in the forest. They can't help it, and so today it was just Simon and myself constructing the huts on the beach that we need by now to shelter us as much as possible. First of all, Jack just took off with his "superpower hunting skills" and was determined to hunt us a pig. I mean he was so rapt with hunting this pig, that when he came back from his "hunting trip", he didn't even acknowledge that Simon and I worked our tails off, trying to set up two of the, so many, tents we are supposed to have set up by now. And he didn't even act contrite about the situation, what-so-ever. At that moment, I had so much compulsion to rip out his throat, that all I could do was shout or just look at him with opaque eyes. I mean, Jack didn't notice what vacissitudes I had to go through today, what, with keeping all the littluns in line along with his "crew" or hunters, AND helping Simon set up out huts. Today was a long day but Im just glad that Piggy hadn't heard our conversation Jack, Simon and I had erlier today. I wouldn't have liked to hear some of Piggy's opinions about which task should've been completed first; huts or pig. I mean, Piggy had more than a exceptional reason as to why he thougght the things he did, its just, those thoughts of his, made me look like a fool, when Im trying to get everyone off this bloody island. So, Piggy is just going to have to control his thoughts when he's around me or else im going to pop... and soon.

Nice choice of words. It reflects Ralph's thoughts towards Jack and Piggy. The vocabulary words you included flowed almost flawlessly.

You did a really good job of putting it in your own words. You really displayed the vicissitudes going on in the book.

Sorry my comments are late everybody.
