Chapter 3: Huts on the beach
Perspective: Ralph

Simon, usually a silent objective observer to these discussions, says that the littluns are all afraid as if "the beastie or snake-thing was real." He then disappears suddenly before Jack and I go off to the water hole to bathe, assuming that Simon has gone there as well. But he has not. Simon walks off mysteriously, alone. Around him is a certain glow where he walks, he gives himself without greed or desire for power, unlike both me and Jack. "Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for the fruit they could not reach passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands."
I felt as if i was the only one from the group of everyone because of my leadership. I feel like jack was to envolve with the pig, the kids dont pay attention, and piggy wont help with the shelters like everyone else. I cant believe this day, the day of the kids fooling around, jacks persuasion in getting meat, and the lack of listening in the group of boys who crashed on the plane.
While cutting some wood for the shelters i thought about the other groups of kids who wouldn't help me. At that exact moment i thought about my partner helping me i looked around but didn't find simon anywhere. I didn't know where he was but knew he was doing something good. I hope simon will be back from his journey or adventure soon. I looked around after many hours of choping down trees and realized he was not back yet.
