Dear, Diary

Today I called a meeting to talk to the whole group and Jack was not happy at all. I told them there was a ship and that no one kept the fire going. I was very upset as the others were, it wasn't fair to them that Jack couldn't do a simple job. I yelled at him and he yelled at me but me being generous wanting to keep him in the group and continue being his friend if I could call myself that. Though he stormed off and I never truely forgave him.

As the days pass I feel worse and worse as a chief and see how much better he is as a leader. He can hunt and he knows the forest better than us and how to use the materials we have. He can take care of the littluns and he can keep them safe. Eventually I fought with him and he left the group to make his own with his hunters. I thought we should just simply join him but Piggy, Simon, Sam, and Eric told me not to that I was the best leader with reason and logic. We later went to his gathering and ate and danced until Simon stumbled out of the forest and everyone blind with fear killed him. I left after that realizing I needed to stay chief and put order and confidence into the littluns along with Jack who needs to realize the importance of being rescued.

Once I realized that I needed to stay chief Me and Piggy became a bit closer. Piggy snapped me out of a faze where I was stuck thinking about how Simon was murdered. He had comforted me and we were in peace for a few days until Jack raided our side of the island taking piggy's glasses. We woke with a start and were being pounded on. I took action and hit someone multiple times in there stomach and in the face. They left with his glasses and we decided to follow them and get piggy's glasses back.

I remember that moment when Piggy died. Roger pushed the boulder and it tumbled down the hill and it hit Piggy. Piggy tried to move but he was thrown off the cliffside. I don't believe that I will be able to defeat Jack since he has taken sam n eric away and forced them to join soon enough I will be forced to as well.
