Mutiny!

Ralph told me today that he thinks that even Jack would go and hide if there was a big beast on our island. I wouldn't blame him though, honestly, if he went and hid. I wouldn't want that big monster to get me either. But I guess Ralph thinks that's weak or something... Ralph's comment made Jack really angry though and he decided to storm off into the jungle. I hope they don't stay mad at each other for long (even though I don't really like Jack, I still don't want us to all be fighting.)

I told Ralph that we needed to build a signal fire on the beach. I want to be able to help keep it going, but I really can't climb up that mountain every day because of my asthma. Ralph and everyone else thought this was a good idea and went to gather wood. Maybe I'll give them a hand today.

So while we were collecting wood some of the older boys snuck away to join Jack! I can't believe they would do that! After all, Ralph was the one that brought us all together, so why would they leave him for a mean boy. Maybe they'll come back. I hope they come back. I think we should stick together. We have a better chance of survival and a better chance at getting rescued from this island if we don't get mad at each other and run away all the time! I hope the other boys come back soon...

I think I heard the squeal of a pig from somewhere on the island. I know it wasn't from nearby though. None of the hunters are left with our group.

Once we had all of our wood collected we started a fire with my specs. Even though one group has all the hunters, atleast we have my specs to start a signal fire. One group has a better chance of survival now than the other but one has a better chance of being rescued... I really wish that the other boys would come back.

Jack and his boys tried to steal our fire! Some of them snuck out of the trees and tried to grab our lit branches! And then Jack had the nerve to try to convince some of our boys to join his new tribe! I can't believe Jack would do that! He should just bring his group back and join us again. It's the best idea. We'll be safest that way.

I think Ralph is having trouble keeping control of the group. I'm worried about what is going to happen on our little island if Jack takes over...
