Empathic task: Lord of the Flies

6. You are Jack at the end of Chapter four after you and your hunters let the fire go out. Ralph has been angry with you and your team of hunters. Write your thoughts. (p.88)

That Ralph and his stupid fire!! I admit it would have been better to let the fire on, but it’s okay, no need to make a big deal out of this ! I bet the ship wouldn’t even had rescued us… he probably wouldn’t have seen us even with the fire ! On this island we can hunt and have fun but all Ralph cares about is being rescued. That’s probably the influence of that little fatty ! Who does he think he is to talk to me like this ?! How dare he only open his mouth to talk to me like this ?! He’s useless here, he’s just fat and stupid and he complains all the time. And Ralph is too nice with him, I just don’t understand him. Ralph is worrying too much, I mean, here we have all we need. We are free and we can do whatever we want. I don’t care about being rescued, I just wanna hunt.

Join now!

           Actually Ralph isn’t a good chief. I should be the chief. I bring food to everyone, without me what would they do ? Hunting is more important than keeping this fire on, we need food ! And that whole thing about the conch, it’s ridiculous and I’m sure it‘ll not work very longer. As soon as the people will realise that Ralph isn’t a good chief, they won’t care about the conch anymore. Ralph thinks he’s got so much power when in fact he’s the weak one. He’s scared about staying here, he wouldn’t know how to survive ...
