Chapter 3: Huts on the Beach
Perspective- Ralph
Why?
Why did everyone vote for me to be the leader if no one listens to me? Why? I have no idea the littluns just love the fact that they are on an island without grownups. All they want to do is play, swim run or hunt. It annoys me that I try to do everything to make the best life while we’re here and they’re not doing anything to help. Of course the littluns are small and aren’t that educated, but they should at least help…shouldn't they?
I was working on the Huts so we could all have shelter when it rains but Jack was out hunting piggy was playing with water, and the only one helping me was Simon. I’m so thankful that Simon is on this island with us. He’s so nice to the litluns and they all love him. I’m surprised that he’s the only one that helped, but without his help I wouldn’t have even made a hut. That stupid jack is so rapt with hunting a pig he doesn’t care about anything else, to him its all about the pigs! He wasn’t even contrite for not helping out. I feel sorry for him, I could tell that he had a lot of vicissitudes today and he just keeps on thinking about them. He doesn’t even care about being rescued! He wants to kill a pig so badly but I bet he doesn’t even have the guts to do it. If he really wanted to kill a pig he would’ve done it by now. I just wanted to hit him, you know… knock some sense into him. To bad I didn’t I started to hear some susurrations in the background and I didn’t want to set a set a bad example for the litluns.
The past few days have been troubling. There were so many issues. There was the fire, the “beastie”, Jacks obsession to hunt, and the lack of teamwork. Every single time I tried to get the litluns attention they all were inscrutable and just stared at me with blank faces. No one cares about being rescued… what are we going to do?

I liked the way that you really expressed how Ralph was feeling instead of just summarizing the chapter. You interpreted the book about the same way that I did.I feel that one of the ways that you became the character is you wrote all of his senses.
i like the emotion you used. i Really liked the beginning when you made it look like ralph was asking himself all these questions. i can really feel the frustration of him
I really liked your description throughout your story and how it all came together. I like the quotes because quotes always help give something about the book that you put in to relate and very nice work.
