Chapter 2 Ralph's thoughts:

          Things started with the conch. As soon as I blew a small congregation began to form on our little platform of brush. As soon as things start to die down and jack and peggy are her I don't really know what to say but the words seem to come to me. I tell them everything that we discovered about the place we're confined on. First I tell them about the island and what we saw. Then I tell them about the fact that there are no parents. I need to explain whats up with this place so we can at least begin to make it ours.What would my dad want me to do? Well I have to do the things an adult would do. I decided to make rules. We need a way to keep order and to have everybody working together or at least living together. We need food. Jack knows that best of all he's the one who's gonna get our food, and in order to keep everyone together we'll use that conch to have meetings. Whoever has it can talk and only I can interrupt them. We gotta have some consequences for breaking that rule, but piggy has the conch and everyone's listenin' so it might be important. He says that we need to focus on getting out of here. Why's he so concerned about this. I feel like that's the only thing on his mind and every day he has to be so serious. So I say this is our island and until the grownups come this is a island for only us. Then a little kid comes up and says he's seen a... a........ a beastie. It could only have been a little trick. That's right it's just the imagination of one little kid. What harm can it do. What one little kid saw can't have anything bad to do with this island. I won't believe this kid this island is better than that. What were those guys thinking anyway, why would they try to bring or home down.





          I know, what about rescue. If we have a chance of being rescued then at least there's a chance we won't be bothered by that beastie or whatever that is,  and the only way to do that on an island full of trees is a fire. Hey guys if we're so concerned with the beastie why don't we build a fire. Just so's we're doing something else. That's when they lost it and I myself might have lost something too. FIRE, FIRE, LET'S BUILD A FIRE!!!.Without a thought everyone but me and piggy are off and I don't know what i've done but it's going to be fun. For now.
