Chapter 5: Beast From Water


Dear diary,



The boys have stopped following the rules and are completely ignoring their responsibilities. They're not tending to the signal fire anymore, not gather clean drinking water, they refuse to help build the shelters, and don't use the designated toilet area. Everything seems to be falling into chaos. The Littluns are still having nightmares about the beasts and monsters and nothing seems to be shaking them of this belief. They're having nightmares every night and all you can hear is the echoes of their cries on the beach. It's getting hard to be a respected leader when no one will listen to the rules that will help them survive another day on the island.


Jack. Don't even get me stated with him, all he ever wants to do is go hunting with his boys. He is the one in charge of the fire, it's starting to make me feel as if he doesn't want to be rescued. I try to come the Littluns by telling them that there are no monsters or beasts on the island, that it's all just nightmares in their heads. I try to come the boys by telling them that are no monsters on the island but no one seems to be listening to me. Jack finally agreed with me on the matter of whether or not the beast exists, because it doesn't!


Annoyingly one of the Littluns says that he actually say the beast, everyone asks him when he had seen and why they can't see it during the daytime. He says that he thinks that the beast lives in the ocean at night. This idea terrifies all the boys and the meeting plunges into chaos. Jack offers to take his hunters into the woods and hunt down and kill the beast. All of a sudden Piggy, Simon, and I are left and Piggy suggests that I blow the conch to call them back but no one will listen since they all want the beastie gone. Am even the leader anymore? 


Signed,
          Ralph
