I asked Ralph to call a meeting of our tiny group today. I need my specs back. Hopefully the older boys of our group can get them back from Jack. Samneric seem really frightened of Jack's group now though - the other boys have become complete savages! Hopefully though Samneric will be willing to go get my specs back...
The big boys of our tribe went down to Jack's end of the island to try to get my specs back from Jack. Some of the boys started throwing rocks at us and Ralph and Jack got into a huge fight over it, and over my specs of course. I try to remind Ralph that we need to just focus on getting my specs back and forget Jack for the time being.
Ralph tried really hard to get the boys to listen to him. He tried to get them to understand just how important his signal fire was, but all they did was laugh at him. And then that mean Jack told his group to grab Samneric! They didn't do anything to him, and yet he wanted them tied up just because they were still on Ralph's side! But that made Ralph really mad. Oh boy, he got so mad he started hitting Jack right in the face with his fists! I wish I could have done a thing like that when he stole my specs, but I wouldn't be able to aim my fists right without them anyway. I tried really hard to get them to stop. Held the conch up and everything so they would know it was my turn to talk. I called those boys savages. It was the best word I could think up.
And then, out of nowhere, a big rock comes flying at me.
