"Painted Faces and Long Hair"


Dear Mother,

Character Journal chapter 4

          I’m worried about Simon. He goes off and spends so much time alone with that pig head in the clearing. It’s almost like he’s talking to it or something. Ralph’s worried too, but not about Simon. We were talking on the beach, and he said he can’t understand why no one believe that without a fire, we’ll die here on this island. It’s Jack’s fault, for causing trouble and trying to annoy Ralph. Samneric aren’t much good here. They want to leave for Jack like the rest of them. They believe he’ll help them and give them food.

Can’t they see by separating, we’re killing ourselves? In another instance Roger refrains from throwing stones directly at Henry. This shows he is still somewhat civilized.  Prediction: These uncivilized acts could lead to jobs not being completed in future chapters and many more occurrences where they fail to signal rescuers. Things heat up between Ralph and Piggy when Piggy thinks they should make a sundial but Ralph says no in a rude and sarcastic way.

With love
Ralph
