Chapter 3: Huts on the Beach

Chapter 3: Huts on the Beach

I think it is important to have shelters for the little ones because if the rain

comes again, there will be many vicissitudes because we will have no place to sleep

in the rain or escape from it.

The hunters are supposed to hunt, and keep the fire going because that is the

only way off the island. Everyone else should follow Ralph and what he says, but

only I listen to him. The little ones just bathe all day and have fun.

The jobs aren’t carried out because the hunters are always hunting and not

keeping the fire. Jack is very inscrutable. Jack is really obsessed about killing, and

doesn’t care if the fire goes out. The little ones get to bored with working on projects

with Ralph and do other things, and me and Ralph can’t build it all by ourselves.

I think making the shelters is the most important thing we can do on the

island. We need to make them opaque so we can escape the sun and the rain.

I think I am a good helper to Ralph, and I like helping everyone on the island.

I have sudden compulsion to do certain things, like wander off, but I know that I

must do what I can to help.

I think Jack will become rapt in killing so much that he will forget to keep the

fire going. Then he will catch something, and not notice a ship on the horizon, and

when Ralph sees the ship and yells at Jack, jack will break away from the conch and

its rules and start hunting people.

I went off the trail because I wanted to see what was there and It looked

really beautiful. I really liked the meadow.
