Lord of the Flies (pg. 83-105)

The narrator is discussing how Piggy has the ideas but he is not the leader type like Ralph is, so that is why Ralph is the leader. The narrator talks about how Ralph has learned to read others faces so he what the children are thinking when he is speaking. Ralph is disappointed because every time he sends out a mission for the group of children the things he plans don't ever get done. I think that he is starting to lose his edge people are starting to have and carry lives of their own. The children are getting lazy and are having to much fun.

I wonder what the title means it is called " Beast from Water", are they going to find a shark or something made up like the loch ness monster. Otherwise it would be sort of dumb to find out that the monster is fake or it would be the unrevealed mystery monster that hunts each one them one by one because the children seem pretty close to the water and spend all the time in it which is a potential danger. Ralph thinks that building shelters is enough to keep the group safe but he needs to take other precautions. Just like when the political leader of ours decides that he will pass a law that will shut the people up and the people will stop asking for what they really need. I am really starting to understand this book more than I did in the beginning because they started to slow down the story and separate the story into sections more understandable.

The section mostly is about how the group is starting to fall apart and the children are realizing the anarchy in their little assemblies and how Ralph made up this rule about whoever has the conch can talk but he is never giving anybody a chance to hold it and if he does he tells them to shut up. All of started it started to fall apart because the little kids started to talk about the so called beasts hidden in jungle waiting to attack. Also Ralph can't do anything about because he is too busy worried about lighting the fire on the mountain so they can send smoke signals to passing ships. I think he should drop the idea of being rescued to focus on the issues of their current situation of the " Beast " and the missing child. I will soon find out of beast and its where about soon after this section or later in the section about the beast.
