Lord of The Flies by William Golding #3
Chapter 3 - Hut on The Beach

Frustration by Ralph

Simon and I created two shelters over the past few days. Only two.. and there's how many boys on this island? Nobody is bothering to help. The shelters Simon and I made are unstable and shaky. They won't stay in place! Being a chief is filled with vicissitudes.. I'm under a lot of pressure and the boys are very errant here. They all had ran off while Simon and I tried to make shelters out of leaves and branches. Everyone had been bathing, eating, or playing! If I called a meeting then everyone would listen, and then work for five minutes. Then they would go run off and swim or something. This frustration just gives me compulsion to hit them to make them listen!Nobody really bothers to do work around here. Am I being inscrutable to these boys?! How are we supposed to survive? I hope someone would feel contrite for me. I mean, everyone had agreed to help, right? But Jack had went to go hunt for food but he didn't catch anything yet. Jack really wants to just get meat instead of creating a shelter before getting rescued. His hunters would help hunt, but would come back early and go swimming. The only thing I can do is look at him with opaque eyes...

    I like how you said: We build two huts and there is how many people on this island? I like this part because it attracts the reader and makes them want to keep reading. You were very descriptive in your blog.

    I like how you were describing the frustration That Simon and Ralph were trying to hold in. You really made it interesting to read. I agree with your perspective of Jack. I would be mad if no one but 2 or 3 people did anything on the island.
