Lord of the flies refelection....up to chapter 4

Unfortunately, I don't believe that there is much hope left for the boys. They came so close to being rescued but stupid Jack wasn't on top of things. I also believe that there isn't much hope for them because their personalities are getting in the way of the true mission: to work together and have fun until eventually rescued. I think that all the boys are going to seperate into groups, the good in one and the mean in the other, in my opinion the groups would be Ralph, Piggy, the twins, and the young boys; however the mean group will have Jack, Maurice, Roger, and Simon. This will lead to a "war" to survive which is definately not the best way to deal with their situation.
On the continuum of Good and Evil I think it would be as follows: Piggy, Young Boys, Ralph, Twins, Simon, Maurice, Roger, Stupid Jack. I have to say that I identify with Ralph the most because I am a leader and I know what it's like to be under pressure to lead. I also know that it is easy to snap under pressure and I think that althought he is doing a great job he isn'tworking hard enough to keep all happy and united. ( I think it would be hard to work with stupid Jack too, though.)

Hey Beth...............

I agree about Jack messing everything up. he just won't understand that his obsession with hunting is keeping everyone from being rescued, or even being oganized and surviving. the island would be a lot better off without him (but then we wouldn't have this great literary work to read in english class.) If it does come to a war i would be surprised to see Jack doing anything except running around with his wood spear! so good post, i like how you Jack was constantly refered to as stupid. he definatly is....................... so talk to you later!!
