Journal entree #2 Piggy

Today Ralph called a meeting of all the boys. This was my Idea from the start but no one ever listens to Piggy. not ever. At the meeting We all tried to decide what to do. The first order of business was that Ralph declared that who ever was holding the conch would have a Right to speak. I liked this rule because it meant that I would now have a chance at having my opinions and ideas heard. Any way I said that we should make some shelters but instead Ralph over rules me and declares that we shall make a signal fire on the mountain. At the very mention of fire all the other boys sprinted off into the scar to gather wood They were like a pack of kids, a rowdy pack of kids. when the finally had enough wood to start a fire, they pinched my specks to use as fire glasses. they stated a bon fire bet it had no smoke. By now most of the younger boys had run into the forest to play. And if that was not bad enough, the fire spread to the trees below and set the trees ablaze. when the decided to listen to me I noticed that one of the boys, The one with the birth mark on his face was missing. He had been playing in the woods when the fire started and now no-one knows were he is. I can only pray for that boys safety.
