Ludicrous Meeting

Perspective; Jack

After we caught a pig, Ralph called a meeting about all this ludicrous things that don't really matter. He was going off about how things need to change. He started talking about how the water wasn't being brought to the places it was suppose to go. Then he talked about the huts, how some were not that safe, and how everyone only helped on the first one. Then how the littluns aren't taking a short in the right places.

He ended with the talk of the "Beastie" which I knew there was none so I made that point out really quickly. Sometime during that talk all the littluns started to do some lamentation but it died down in a bit. It just sounded like a bunch of discursive nonsense to me.

During the meeting Ralph said how things were falling apart. I don't really think things are falling apart, but the boys aren't listening to Ralph anymore. They are also treating things that have importance to them as if they don't matter. They wander around playing and everything. It seems as if they aren't using decorum toward Ralph anymore. I don't really mind as long as they stay out of my way, and obey when I ask something of them.

Also during the meeting there was a mention of the littluns crying in their sleep. Mostly because of the fear of the beastie getting them. Others have nightmares about the kreepers and such. I think most of them miss their parents and hide it as nightmares when they cry. It's not really my concern though.

There was a particular littlun, Percival Wemys Madison. He tended to through up a lamentation a lot about the beastie. He also seemed to be loosing his mind. Some of the older kids tend to mess with him, others pay no heed. He was one of the littluns that started the whole 'beastie' mess. He was mostly afraid of the kreepers or the beastie getting to him.

Simon asked us what was the dirtiest thing about the human nature during the meeting. The dirtiest thing about the human nature in my opinion is that they are too sensitive to each other. They hold back when they don't need to and they let their emotions sway their opinions. When I hold back the memory stays jeeringly at me, as if I've done something wrong.

I don't particularly like Ralph since he became leader. He isn't doing anything about it, just complaining, and telling us what we aren't doing. He just complains and complains. Especially when I do something that is important, he goes of saying its horrible. If he hadn't of found the conch then he wouldn't have been leader. It would have been me.
