I don't know what's happening anymore. I didn't want Jack to leave. I didn't want Jack to be irrational. I didnt want Ralph to make bad decisions. I didn't want any of this to happen. I want to be demure about this, but right now I have to be blunt. I'm the only one with any sense on this island. I'm the only person who has tried to do anything right. But tried is indeed the word as no one listens to me. No one has any sense but they all believe they have sense. Therefore, since I have sense, I'm treated as if I'm batty when I'm the one who's furthest from it. Jack, all bragging how he's head boy and a prefect, and Ralph thinking he knows what he's doing when he really has no idea what to do. If we keep going like this under one of two bad leaders, we'll all end up paunched like pigs. Those two think they're perfect but they can be so demoniac, it gets dangerous sometimes. You would have thought that there would be a taboo against being sensible hovering on this island, thicker than fog. But they'll see. I'll show them how important it is to be sensible. But I have to wonder. Are they trying to avoid civilization? And what will happen to me when I protest against all their unbelievably superior stupidity?
