Chapter 3: Huts on the Beach

Dear Diary,

Everyone on this island is as lazy as Piggy! We need to build to shelters if we're going to survive on this island but everyone, but Simon, aren't helping at all. The hunters are supposed to be out hunting for me because some of the boys are craving meat but no one wants to corporate. Piggy was helping me but he got lazy and decided to lay down then build. Jack, being a hot-head as usual, gets mad because I bring up the fact that they didn't catch that pig last time.

Jack and some the other boys are avoiding the tasks by using hunting as an excuse to not do as told. Remember when I talked about the boy and his nightmares, well no everyone is a little scared and the Littluns are starting to get nightmare of the fire and "beastie". So to make us all on the same page, we all go swimming in the lagoon but we will still have the dislike of everything.

While we're relaxing, Simon takes the Littluns into the jungle to get some fruit from the trees. Simon told me that he wandered a little deeper into the jungle and found a peaceful quite place to just sit and think. So far today has been a little difficult, but I think that we all need some time to think and clear our heads about what'

s been happening lately.

Signed,
