Chapter 7- Shadows and Tall Trees

Ralph's journal;

I have changed. It's all Jack Merridews fault. Making me act out how I almost killed the sow. I paunched her. Poor Robert I feel horrible now. He really did get hurt a bit. Jack he.. its his fault. He disappeared he's gone he left the all of us.. who is the coward now? Jack is gone but for the better. Piggy is helping out. We are soon going to remake the fire by the bathing pool, but what I can't get off my head is he said I called the hunters cowards and that I didn't climb the mountain. Typical Jack. Such a Savage! Wait. But was I... I know I acted like one it was the spear, it made me evil, and like I wanted to kill. Am I still good leader? I am dun because of what happened today. Jack tried to take my leader position. But found out that he would loose anyway he is a cracker. He cried, and ran away like a scared little boy just like when we were up on the mountain. It was Roger and I who went first to discover the shadowy figure. He must be windy now, Jack, he's lost everything. I've got his hunters. Jack imperviously blew the conch and called a kick out meeting, not realizing that he would be the one to leave... alone.

Jack is gone. I have tiem to think about things and now piggy and his brain will also help out. We will fianlly have things in order. Simon and Piggy can be like the prefects. And I the leader... the captain... without any assistence of Jack will be the boss. Without a demoniac face staring at me and waiting for me to mess up. I also won't have to deal with a shadow that can sometimes be light and helpful or dark and evil savage like. I won't have to deal with Jack fighting with Piggy about the conch or about him trying to make a taboo. I better go let the guys know what they will expect from me, and thise that want to leave and join Jack now is the time. I wonder why Roger one of Jacks friends didn't go with him either or his group of hunters... they probably know he is a lier.. and two alone will not do for such a big island.
