I killed a Pig!
September 21

We killed a pig! We circled around it, then I slit its throat. It was really easy. Gouts of blood were all over my hands. It was fun, and I felt like I really connected with the other boys. The littluns think they're impalpable, but they need to learn that only if you hunt, you eat. Anyway they are too balant to catch a pig, they would scare it away. They still talk about the creature, so I doubt they could gather up the strength to hunt with us.

Ralph has some nerve calling an assembly at night. I think he just did it to make me mad. He knows I'm sorry for letting the fire out, but he insisted on making me mad and letting everybody know. Piggy was right, for once, why should Ralph be able to eat the meat we hunted! All he did was sit around, and then when the fire went out, he started complaining just like the littluns! Ralph thinks I'm malevolent and belligerent, but he is just jealous, because I caught a pig! I know he envy's me, and he should!
