Why Ralph???

Lord of the Flies

Chapter 1 - The Sound of the Shell

Why Ralph???

Perspective: Jack

Dear Journal, Today was a rough day are plane crash and as I was on it I matins

that we would have a good flight and what happen we crash on a island. Well its

better than crashing in the ocean. As we were walking across the hot sand I over

heard that there are no grownups, and that they needed a chef or a leader to

lead them. I proffer the I should be chef but this kid named Ralph just comes

and interrupts me he said he’s friend named piggy and that they were on the

plane that crashed too. “Piggy?” I sniggered at the sound of the name other

people were laughing to. After the laughing died down we decided who was

going to be chef. Ralph decides to let the people choose”. Guess who got picked

chef, Ralph. I still don’t know why I didn’t get elected chief I have all the good

Qualities. I am smart, nice, good hunter, and I am a better leader than Ralph.

What so special about him? All he has is that shell that brought all the boy’s

Together who cares about a dumb shell? I guess the people think I have

Enormity I know because I heard one of the boys say that. We decide to go see

if this was a island or not it was kind of like a hike trip but there were a lot of

fronds. We stated climbing a cliff and had to carry this huge rock once we got

that out of are way we looked around and there was water every where we were

on a island.
