Lord of the Flies

Chapter 4- Painted Faces and Long Hair

" You and your blood Jack Merridew"

Perspective: Piggy

Dear Dairy,
It's been hard on this island. I have had a hard time adapting to the lack of order on the island. nobody is working they are all playing, eating, and sleeping. I would build myself a hut on my own but I can't because of my asthma. The hunters aren't always working either. They'll hunt for a while and then they go to swim. All the little kids are to young to work and they are always getting sick. Other than that they stay in groups and play around and only come for meetings. I have started to srtrongly dislike Jack. He always makes fun of me and everyone always laughs. Ralph doesn't even defend me.
Jack really messed things up for us this time though. There was a ship pasing the island but it couldn't see us because Jack let the fire go out. He let it go out because he was to busy hunting for meat. I think he is too bloodthirsty. I told him that and he punched me in the stomach. It hurt a lot and everyone laughed which made me feel worse. He smacked me across the face and my specs flew of. One the glasses broke so now i only have one eye. I wish I could get him back somehow. It only makes it worse that no one is nice to me except for Simon. They just laugh and go along.
They don't even consider that we just lost a perfect chance home because of him. They was busy painting their faces like a bunch of savages. They were acting like a bunch of kids. We could have gotten of this island and i could have went to see my auntie but now i can't because of Jack. He wants us to forgive him like it's nothing big. He wants us to feel understanding just because he said sorry. Then they use my spec again to start a fire no please or thank you. I really want to leave this island and never see Jack Merridew again. I feel the way Jack is so violent the next thing you know someone will be killed. Now Ralph is mad at Jack as well and he is calling a meeting so i must go.
