Ralph Day 1

May 13, 2013

Hi my name is Ralph and this is my journal. I am about 14 years of age, I live in England and my father is a Captain in the Royal Navy.
          Well today wasn't the best. Our plane crashed, and we are stranded on this island with no adults. I was elected leader by all the other children. As leader I need to keep order, but Jack continues to interrupt me and cause disorder in our meetings. Today he lead all the boys to make a fire on the mountain. I told them to settle down, but they listened to Jack. I feel tension growing between me and Jack. I feel in the days to come we will have a quarell that will lead to something worse. On the other hand, Piggy, is really getting on my nerves. He is always taking the conch as if he has power over us all when he has it. He constantly wines about how bad we have it and is just a drag. But on the good side we found a way to get food. The island is plentiful in wild pig. We also started a bond fire today as well. But to our dismay, Piggy pointed out that one of the lithe boys that was afraid of snakes was missing. I am worried that if I do not find a way to keep order and keep track of everyone, then we will slowly die off.
