Chapter 3: Huts on the beach

"Shelter"

Dear Diary,

I'm still here on this miserable island and it seems I'm the only one who seems to actually want to get off this island. The other kids and piggy are playing around and the hunters don't seem to be doing much, Jack and some of the hunters are going out to get meat, but never actually get the meet.

It seems the only person that's helping is Simon and I feel for him contrite. Jack was rapt, opaque and inscrutable about hunting pigs, next thing you know he'll end up hunting Piggy. It seems like he doesn't even want to leave the island. Me and Simon have been able to make 2 huts on the beach and a crappy third one. It would be a lot easier if the others would help. We need shelter. We need shelter now, for mental and physical reasons. We need shelter to feel safe because the susurration and to be safe from the elements. I hope the kids realize that soon

your friend,
Ralph
