“Let him be chief with the trumpet-thing”.
This is outrageous how could they possibly think that Ralph is a better leader then I am?
“So there it is, the people have voted and I, Ralph, will be leader.” Said Ralph powerfully.
I followed with a nervous “Then I-I-I’m leader of the hunters.”
“So be it I am chief and Jack will be the leader of hunters”.
I can't believe that they chose Ralph over me, it's not fair.
I followed to say “choir boys you are with me, you ought to do everything I say.”
I then realized that being the leader of the hunters wasn’t so bad. I still have some power but
not as much as I wanted. Later that day my choir boys and I went out to hunt and when we saw
a pig, I froze. We closed in on it and when I got close enough I raised my spear, but for some
reason I couldn’t bring it back down. It was like a train was coming at me and I didn’t know what
to do. The pig ran off I was left without a kill.
“Why didn’t you kill it?” Blurted out Simon “it was a perfect kill.”
“It is ok, I will kill the next one” I mumbled.
Maurice then said “if you ought to be leader of hunters, you have kill.”
A big laugh was taken out by the choir boys all pointed at me.
“Shut up!” I yelled. “I said I will kill the next one.”
We hunted for longer until the loud noise of the conch came from the beach, so we all ran
there to see what was happening. When we got there Ralph was standing on the stage with all
the littuns around him.
Ralph yelled. “Do you have any meat for us to eat”
“No because our leader doesn't know how to kill.” Shouted Roger.
Ralph looked at me in the deadliest way and I froze just like I did when I tried to kill the pig.
“Go back out there and don’t come back until you have something for us to eat.” Demanded
Ralph.
Ralph then calls the choir boys, “no more than boys with sticks.”
This made me furious with Ralph.
I tried hiding my anger but I couldn’t. I took a big breath and yelled at the top of my lungs, “Do
you think hunting is easy? Because before you start judging us you try for yourself.”
Ralph did not say a word and just looked at me. I stood my ground and stood up to Ralph which
made me happy.
