Lord of the Flies. Blog 7, chapter 7, "Shadows and Tall Trees." Perspective: Jack. Own Titile: "Game of a Pig."

Dear Diary,
Today Ralph speared a pig and I bet he felt bravado. I am obviously better because I needed to finish things off. Since everyone was so happy, we decided to play a game. We pretended that Robert was the pig, and we re-lived the scene. It made everyone more excited and it was the complete opposite of dun. After the game, Robert suggests that we should use a real pig. I suggested that we use a littlun. Littluns don’t do anything anyway. I say this would foreshadow that a littlun might die, or maybe someone else, like piggy.

Guess what? We are sure there is a beast! Not only did Sam and Eric see it and describe it, but I saw it! It was moving side to side.
Diary, you want to know why I hate Ralph so much? I hate him because he always orders everyone around. I hunt, I get people meat. I should be in charge not him even though a lot of people think he talks sagely. I don’t want to talk to him about it because everyone ends up ganging up on me. I don’t want to feel impervious. I want Ralph to get hurt in a game of rugger.



From,
Jack.
