“Not taking my seriously”
Jack

Why is an assembly called?
This assembly was called today from Ralph. Because he felt that he had to talk to us. Even though I think its ludicrous to do this after the hunters and I went and succeeded at hunting meat. He called this assembly because he was almost lamentation that I accidently let the fire go out.
What concerns are brought up?
Ralph says that he worries about us. He says that were not working as a group. Were not being one that were falling apart. That we have to go back to our decorum. He also brought back our jobs he says everyone’s not sticking to what they say they were going to do.
How do you feel about those concerns?
Like I said I think it’s very dumb to do this. All we should worry about is having more food to eat. The only thing that does really bother me is that he is blaming me. I mean I know I let the fire go out but it was an accident. That the only thing that Im getting mad at. That he’s blaming me for an error with lots of tempestuously attitude. When I was just trying to do my job.
How are things breaking up (falling apart)?
The thing that’s breaking us up is that littluns. They are really starting to cause problems. The other thing is that stupid fattie, Piggy. Last time I hit him and I was jeeringly after him. The things that are breaking us up are the problems and that the littluns are breaking the rules.
Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep?
Ralph keeps on saying that the littluns cry at night. They also say that it’s from the beastie. They say it’s a big snake. So far we believe they have taken a kid.
What do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?
Well Im not sure about the dirtiest thing but Ralph in the community meeting. He clearly told us that not using the lavotary is being a problem. That’s cause it contaminates our fruit.

Why do you hate Ralph?
I feel hate for R alph cause he didn’t take our job serious. He didn’t even say thanks for bringing something to eat.
