Chapter 7 Shadows and Tall Trees

The Beastie
Jack

Ralph is becoming more of a hunter like the rest of us. He came with us on a hunt for the Beastie, and he joined in the games. He got excited when he stuck the boar with the spear. And he had a DEMONIAC expression when he told us about it. It is not fair that the boys still looked to him as a leader even when I am the one who should be leading them. He makes ridiculous TABOO'S that the boys follow. And he looked disgusted while I PAUNCHED the sows belly. He seems DEMURE but he is actually trying to keep me from being leader. But he thinks that he is in charge but he should not be. Nobody knows anything about him. He is not a PREFECT. He does not deserve to be leader.

The game that we played after we tried to catch the boar was fun. I wish that we could have had a real pig to hit instead of just Robert. But Ralph kept being annoying and trying to pretend to be grown up. When I said that we could just use a littleun I really meant it. If we wanted to play that game we could have actually killed a pig or a littleun. No one really cares about them.

I am very scared of the beast. I saw him and I am so happy that I was not closest to him. He sat up and looked at us but we did not actually see his face. I ran away. I was so scared. I am very ashamed that I ran away so quickly instead of walking away.
