So far

Hey readers! 

Today, I have reached page 94 and there are finally some action. The kids have agreed to light a large fire on top of the island to signal possible boats that they are in distress. They build some shelters and there are a lot of meetings, where they discuss what should happen next. However, the things they talk about never happen because the kids have a short attention span and goes hunting or bathing instead. Only Ralph and Simon manage to get things done. Later, the fire dies out because Jack takes the kids that are responsible for the fire out hunting for a pig. They manage to kill a pig, put there is a ship on the horizon that steams by without knowing that they are on the island. Ralph is furious since it could have been their ticket off the island and Jack disobeys his order. Then a kid says that there lives a monster on the island. Ralph says that it is only his imagination and that there is no monster on the island. The “littluns” still insist on that there is a monster, even though all the older kids says that there is no monster. In the end, they spend the night arguing about what kind of monster there is and if there are ghosts too.

There are some indications that there is a nuclear war raging, so a creature mutating into a monster is possible. However, it is highly unlikely. I think that the kids are overreacting on something natural and that the monster is a tree or something. It is interesting that Jack is still disobeying Ralph. I still think that Jack will break off soon and start another tribe, but it seems like his main plan is to overthrow Ralph by making the kids trust him. I’m really excited about the next pages. Until next time!
