entry 4


Lord of the Flies
Chapter 4: Painted faces and long hair
“The Big Fight”
Simon

What things are you having trouble adjusting to on the island that are different from your life at home in England?
Well there are defiantly lots of things that have changed from my life at England to this island. The first thing I will defiantly have to adjust to are the fights. Jack or Ralph for example can sometimes have a very belligerence attitude. Today Jack’s belligerence attitude caused a big blatant fight between Piggy and him. Most of all this I believe will be the first thing I will have to adjust to.
How do you feel about the littluns?
I could see that the other biguns are not having much of patients. I recognized Ralph’s malevolently face very upset with them. But I feel that they are small so they don’t understand the situation were in. I think that the littluns think this a vacation or something alike. So for right now I kinda understand them.
What do they do with their time?
Like I said I think theyre thinking that’s this is a vacation. So while the biguns are trying to survive, the littleuns are having fun. They go swimming in the pool or beach, theyre building sand castles , having sand fights, eating fruit. They look there having so much fun that not even a cut with lots of gouts of blood will stop them.
Why do you all paint your faces?
Ralph came out with this theory that if we all painted our faces the pigs or our food will be easier to hunt. We are using this as a camouflage tactic. Ralph painted his face red and black with charcoal.
What does this foreshadow?
I think that with this technique we used that will bring us more meat. We did this of coarse for hunting. But I’m starting to believe this cause it worked. So I believe that it foreshadows more meat.

How do you feel when your face is painted?
I kinda feel like a fool like very clownish. But I believe that this will help us a lot. I feel that I rather look like a fool and get meat than no meat at all.
Why doesn’t the passing ship see you on the island?
We were so happy caus Ralph had claimed to see a ship on the horizon. We were all excited that we will get rescued. But next thing we know we climb up to the fire to see if the smoke will be able to see. We get there and no fire, no smoke. So the ship wouldn’t se4e us cause there wes no signs of us here in the island.
Why was the fire allowed to go out?
The fire was out for an acedint. Cause Jack and his choir were in charge of the fire. Since they went out hunting, and didn’t check on the fire before. When we got there it was out. So it was Jack’s mistake. But Ralph thinks it was Jack’s fault.

What is the overall mood on the island at this time?
Right now at this point there’s isn’t not much unity. Instead there are a lot of fights. That are very impalpable to me, but not much for Piggy. But here the biguns aren’t having a very good time like the littluns.
What do you predict will happen next?
If this keeps up I predict lots of big fights that we will spit up. And if this happened there will be big problems. Because they will be fighting over land, shelter, food, meat, and fruit. Mostly territories.
