"Things are breaking up. I don't understand why. We began well; we were happy. And then-"
Ralph is becoming very frustrated not only about how he looks, but about how his leadership. He calls a meeting to remind the group that they are a team and need to work together if they want things done and accomplished. People are refusing to work on building the shelters, gather drinking water, use the designated toilet area, and keep up with the fire. He does not know where to turn with his other island members, they just do not listen. The littluns continue to talk about the "beastie" and this time they actually saw it, and it was in the water. Jack and his hunters go off to discover if there really is a "beastie" and to get rid of it if there is. I believe that the others do not want to what Ralph wants to do, but do what they want to do. They want to do what they think is best for the island, and so some can get out of doing any of the hard work. Ralph is becoming weaker and weaker as a person and as a leader, and all of the others are taking advantage of that. I believe that talk of the "beastie" will get everyone more distracted, causing them to get even more off track.
