Chapter 2:

Fire on the mountain

Perspective of Ralph

Hello, my name is Ralph . In my opinion I think that this island is horrible. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I hope and think that someone would find us though. The reason why is because my father is in the army and he will sent someone to find us quickly. I fell that we are going to stay here forever and it's scary. I need to stay calm though. The beastie is a monster that the littluns saw, supposedly. I don't believe in the beastie, though. There's no such thing as mosters and I haven't seen this beastie yet, therefore I don't believe in it. My plan to be rescued was to make a very large signal fire on top of a mountain. We used Piggy's glasses to start the signal fire. Occasionally, he didn't want to give up his glasses, but we later on we forced him to give them to us. Later on the fire got bigger and out of hand. Therefore, we lost one of the littluns... I think it was the one with the mulberry birth mark. Also ever since that night, we never saw him again. Some people theorised that he got burned alive in the fire. The choir ( also known as the hunters) are in charge of keeping the signal fire lit. In my opinion I think that a signal fire is an excellent way for a rescue signal. The reason why is because it's a very large signal and anyone can see even from far distance. Unfortunately, this signal fire can easily get out of hand. For example, it could burn the whole island or it could kill burn someone. Therefore,

we have to be very caution about it.

I think that I'm more different from the other boys on this island. One of the reason why is because I have more leadership skills than anyone here, even Jack. For instance, I'm organized, I come up with fair rules, I'm mentally strong, physically strong, and I'm thoughtful of others. I try to keep these boys as organized as possible. For example, there are different groups like the hunters. I'm thoughtful because I'm trying to treat everyone as equal as possible. I'm mentally strong because I have never cried, fainted, or had a panic attack. I'm probably the most calm and relaxed on this island even though I have a lot of responsibilities. No one can be better than

me in leadership and I hope that I will keep doing a good job.

The thoughts that go through my head every night is wondering whether we would be saved, how long would it that to be saved, if I'm going to live as long to be a survivor, and ( my least concern) what are we going to eat. Sometimes I'm concern about dieing here or not. The reason why is because this island can be dangerous and think someone died in the fire. So that really scares me. About my least concern, Sometimes I wondering whether we are going to eat a pig or fruit ( which don't really full me up). We had a chance to eat pig once, but unfortunately Jack hesitated on killing it and he let it go free. I mostly think positive, though. I'm very proud on how much progress we have made. For example, the amount of shelters we have made, it;s quicker for us to make a fire, and how much food we collect. I'm also thinking about what other rules I should make and if their fair enough. Like I said I mostly think about positive thinks which that makes me into a good leader too.
