Lord of the Flies
Chapter 12
"Cry of the Hunters"
Perspective: Ralph
Dear diary,
Jack and his tribe created a cordon to look for me all over the island. After they found me they were going to kill me. I hid inside the thicket at the bottom of the cliff near castle rock. I visited Samneric on top of castle rock. They gave me some meat from the feast with Jack. Samneric had to join Jacks tribe. I'm guessing that they were threatened and that they figured they would get beat if they didn't join his tribe.
Roger created a stick sharpened on both ends for me. I didn't understand what that meant at first. They tried to catch me first by pushing boulders onto the thicket from above. When that didn't work they tried to find where I was by poking their spears into the thicket. Last they lit the thicket on fire I had to get out so I sprung from the bush and stabbed at the boy in my way who could have turned me in to Jack.
I fled to the beach where I saw a man that had epauletts and white drill on him. He was a naval officer. He was just standing there on the beach. He looked as if this were a diddle. Jack and his boys were chasing me with a loud ululation so then we all ended up on the beach with the naval officer. The naval officer asked who the leader was and I said it was me. The naval officer was disappointed though. He was disappointed that we were so disorganized and he was disappointed that a pack of British boys couldn't keep it together. He was disappointed that we couldn't put on a good show. I tried to explain but I don't know if he really got it. He asked a few more questions then we went home with him.
