Living on the island has become easier now that we kinda know what we are doing, Me and Ralph and Simon make and fix the shelters and make sure the signal fire doesn't go out even though Jack and his group should be the ones doing it. It gets super hot during the middle of the day when the sun comes all the way up. Sometimes when I look out to the water I'll see things but I know they aren't real, It's just the sun playing dirty tricks. The littluns have been really scared recently because of the Beastie that is out in the jungle. It might be just their imaginations because Jack and them go out all the time and have never found no Beastie.
Everything got really intense though today when me and Ralph saw a boat all the way out in the water and the signal fire was out because Jack and them were out hunting and not doing their job. When we went to go look for them they were coming back singing and they had a pig on a stick, they finally got it but we didn't NEED the pig we needed the signal fire to be lit. Ralph tried telling them but nobody was listening so i started to try an tell'em. When I finally got Jack's attention he smacked me and broke my glasses and made fun of the way I talk. I was too busy trying to get my glasses all fixed to hear what Ralph and Jack were talking about but they were real loud so it must have been serious. It wasn't until after that me and Ralph went to relight the signal fire. a bit ago the boys cooked up the pig and wouldn't let me have any because I didn't hunt but Ralph didn't hunt either and so didn't some of the other boys too! Ralph has just called a meeting so I guess that's where I am going.
Piggy really goes through a lot in this chapter, so do the other boys too though. Piggy is kind of the background character for this chapter but still has some really key things going on. For instance he figures out what they are seeing out in the water are illusions caused by the sun while other boys are freaking out because they are hallucinating. My connecting for the last two posts has been that Piggy and I think a lot alike and that doesn't seem to be changing soon. He figures out about the hallucinations, calls out Jack for being a dick-wad and just understands what needs to be done instead of being a useless person like almost everyone else. He gets beat on a little this chapter which is sad and upsetting also considering that nothing is really done about that. But ultimately my connection remains the same; Me and Piggy think the same.
