Lord of the Flies ( close to the end!! )

The section I think that the only sane people on the island are Ralph, Piggy, Sam, and Eric. I say this because they isolated themselves from the rest of the children and I thought Ralph was going to become the blood-thirsty leader but that Jack guy took over his position. I thought that was a bad idea because it just drove the rest of the children into a big hole of madness. I thought Piggy was trying to be a hero because he saw Ralph was no longer interested in the good of the group but in getting rescued. I think that Jack and the rest of the savages are like the gangs in bad neighborhoods, once they take over they are to powerful to knock down or stop. A lot of people don't feel like doing anything about them because its possible that they might get hurt like Piggy would if he went to try to stand up for himself to Jack and his savages. Ralph also doesn't want to lose touch with the world of well educated people, he doesn't want to admit that he might not be rescued with or without the smoke signals. Ralph is becoming once again obsessed with having his fire but the fire is on the savage's side of the island and he worried that ships might pass without being aware that there are people on the island that need to be saved but I doubt that there are any people looking for them otherwise they wouldn't take so long. I think this book is going to end with death because everything is really going down hill for Ralph and his group.
