Chapter Four: Painted Faces and Long Hair

Chapter Four: Painted Faces and Long Hair
"You said you wanted things done. So as we could be rescued."  "Oh, shut up."
Tension between Ralph and Jack continue to rise and rise.  The debate between Jack being to involved in hunting and not trying to get rescued also continues.  Just when you think things were stressed enough, another issue arises.  Jack had been to focused on hunting pigs that he did not maintain the fire.  This made Ralph furious, especially knowing that a ship had passed by.  At the same time Ralph has to deal with the complaints of the littluns.  They continue to talk about this "beastie" that they believe is somewhere lurking on the island.  I believe that all of this stress is getting to Ralph.  He does not know where to turn or think of new ideas, he just has to much to handle.  It does not help that many will not listen to him or take his advice.  On the other hand, i think that Jack's mind has become "savage", he is to worried about killing and torturing that he has complete forgot about anything else.  With his painted face and his hunting game on, he no longer thinks of human tactics, but as of a wild animal.
