       In this chapter Jack decides to leave the tribe. I am happy with Jacks decision to leave because all he does is caue conflict between the others on the island. Jack has a very smug attitude that im tired of always getting in the way of what really matters on the island like getting saved. With Jack out of the tribe I feel like Ralphs tribe can accomplish the tasks that are needed the most. Jacks tribe is savage and out of control where as Ralphs tribe is calm and orderly it has drawn more people to Jack. Jack named himself the chief of his tried showing yet again he is a very narcissistic person. At this point I am fed up with Jacks constant striving for power and focus on what really matters.

    In this chapter the fear really starts to set in amougnst the boys. The boys are getting jumpy and fearful like young children do after lights go out. When Sam and Eric were tending the fire and saw one little shadow of the parachutist and sprinted off as fast as they could. When Sam and Eric did this it reminded me off when I was five and I heard a sound in my I would get up without thinking and run to the safety of others. Everyone on the island is on edge of the unknown of the new setting that is the island. I do understand why the boys could be getting frightened easily because If I did not know what was around me at all time I would be nervous aswell.

      The boys do not seem to understand how to survive on an island. They do not realize that all these chores and duties are nessesary for their survival. Most of the boys have a abandoned their duties like getting water, work on the huts, and maintain the signal fire, these chores are vital to surving on the island yet most dont care. It was also brought up that a little'un thought the beastie rises out of the ocean at night while everyone is sleeping this makes me think that they dont really understand much aboiut the beastie. The thought on the beastie are very scrambled, and confused because some characters think the beastie is from the forest, others think it is from the ocean. I feel like the boys have just imagined the beastie because they are scared without adults there to monitor them, so they have so much built up fear they have made stories without someone to keep them rational.

  In this chapter when Jack started his new tribe I found it to be irritating. Jack is power crazed which does not put him in a good state of mind to run a new tribe and be in command. It seems like only Piggy and Ralph are the only ones who still focus on trying to be rescued by building a signal, while the others priorities are to make new tribes, start confict, play and hunt. It seems to me that the reality of being stranded on and island with a slim chance of being rescued has set in on the boys.

   In chapter seven of Lord of the Flies the boys begin to become more savage than in other chapters. In this chapter the boys are excited about their hunt and decide to act it out amoungst themselves which would normally be fine but they took it too far. The boys began to go over board and hurt Robert who at the time was pretending to be the pig in the scene he managed to drag himself away before they would do more damage. I found it frustrating that they set out to hunt the beast into the night that they believed to be terrorizing their tribe at night time. If the beast was thought to attack why would they leave there weakest links there to defend it on their own, and try to go off and find the beast by themselves.
