Lord of the Flies
Chapter 3
“Huts on the Beach”
Piggy
Beautiful view

I didn't do that much today but Jack told me what he was doing earlier today. He was in the forest with his spear. He was breathing softly and not moving any other wise. He had his spear at the ready. He found some green pig droppings so he knew a pig was close. He throws the spear after hearing some rustling around him. He hears the pig squealing and running away though. Jack comes back empty handed. Ralph confronts him about how the littleuns told him that they would work but they don’t help at all. Simon is the only one that was helping Ralph build the huts. Ralph makes a big deal out of it jack tells me. Jack doesn’t care about helping because Ralph agreed that since the hunters were getting the “food” and watching the fire that they don’t need to help. Jack comes up with an idea that he thinks is brilliant but Ralph didn't care. Its idea is, during the hottest time in the day the pigs go up near the top of the mountain and get paint on their faces so they blend in and can kill the pigs easily. Jack suggested about making barbs for the spears but he tells me that Ralph only cared about making the shelters. They only made 3 and the 3rd one is not livable in. The other 2 are just ok. Then they relies that Simon was gone. Simon told me that he went into the jungle. He helped some of the littleuns get fruit on higher branches that they can’t reach. He walks deeper into the jungle and eventually finds a thick jungle glade. It is a peaceful beautiful place full of flowers, birds and butterflies he says. Simon has the same feeling that jack was talking about when he goes hunting. He says it’s like someone is following you. He looks around to make sure that he is alone, and then sits down to take it all in. He tells me he marvels at the abundance of beauty of life that surrounds him.
