Blog 2 (from Piggy's perspective)

I try to help but nobody will listen to me. I think I'm the smartest boy here but things are really warped. When the little ones started talking about the beastie I tried to tell Jack and Ralph what they were afraid of but they just got mad at me. Jack and Ralph looked at me scornfully. I really admire Ralph because he has good ideas and he seems like a fair leader. I don't like Jack and I know that Jack doesn't like me. Jack is like a little kid pretending to be tough and brave but he's also really bossy and officious. Every time I hold the conch and want to say something nobody listens and people tell me to keep quiet but when Jack or Ralph holds the conch everybody listens to them.
There was such a tumult when Ralph suggested making a fire. Everybody thought that was a great idea but I thought that was pretty stupid. Who would keep it going? Who would see it? What is the point? But everybody wanted to do it so they grabbed my glasses to start the fire by reflecting the sun off the glass. That was pretty smart but I could have told them how stupid they were because all of a sudden the fire spread and was burning everything. Everybody hates me and thinks that I'm pathetic but I'm really smarter than everybody here and I had to laugh when I saw the whole mountain starting to burn. It was irresistible and I felt like saying, " I told you so." Ralph and Jack need my help but they won't listen. We should have built huts on the beach to protect us but instead everyone thought that building a fire was such a good idea and look what happens. Then one of the little ones was missing and I was the only one who noticed. I'm the responsible one. I'm the one who can make the best decisions and take care of the little ones. But because I'm fat, wear glasses, and am not nimble like the other skinny boys, they all think I'm a loser. I hope I can convince Ralph to be my friend and to be on my side because I'm afraid of Jack.
