Savagery

Insanity. Idiocy. Savagery. I believe these things will get to us. In fact, I believe they already are. And though I don't like to point fingers, I believe Jack is the one behind it. He let the fire go out. He's the one who would have no trouble killing anyone or anything he doesn't like. Now that he's caught a pig, he seems that much more powerful. People will start looking at him as a leader now. After all, all Ralph does is blow the conch and say things at meetings. Jack provides us food. That's what everyone will start thinking. And poor Piggy. If Jack ever became chief, I would give it five minutes before Piggy was beans on toast (english slang :P). It's all because of the fear this beastie started. Those stupid littluns had to go and blatantly scare everyone about something that doesn't even exist. It's this fear that's pulling us apart and there's no balm for it. And Jack's belligerence doesn't help either. If we keep fighting like this, If we keep acting like savages, then I believe It'll be very soon that we're looking toward each other with malevolence, and great gouts of our blood will be splattered on every inch of this island.
