Chapter 2 reminder me of the exercise we did when we started this book. As Ralph is agreeing that there needs to be hunting, he makes the conch shell like a talking stick. Everyone is sort of obeying ralph, he is representing order between everyone on the island. As the meeting continues Ralph is viewed more and more as the leader. Later in the chapter the boys take wood and head to the top of the mountain. As the light shines through Piggy's glasses the boys set off a huge fire on the mountain top.
In chapter 3 Jack, and his hunters are tracking a pick through the woods while the other boys are working on huts. Jack comes up empty on catching food, pigs especially. When ralph is working on huts he starts to get angry because he is failing to keep the hut from falling down, also he is angry that most of the other boys including Jack aren't helping him at all. Simon on the other hand comes off as a mysterious, shady, or sketchy charecter. He walks into the forest alone and meditates, but just as i think he excludes himself from all the other boys on the island, he helps the younger kids get fruit from the tree, displaying helpfulness. So far i'm sort of confused on what to think bout Simon at the moment.
