Week 2 reading response to Lord Of The Flies

I am on chapter 3 of Lord of the Flies, and so far, I think the book is okay. I enjoy reading about the description of the island that the boys are stranded on. I thought it was interesting how the boys used the conch shell to call all the people on the island. The conflict and disagreement between the boys make the book interesting also. I want to see if the kids keep fighting, or they agree and work things out for the sake of their survival. 

The boys have said that they wanted to have fun on the island since there are no grownups, but they aren't doing a great job of taking care of themselves. In only 24 hours, they had started a forest fire, and accidentally killed a boy with it. Jack and Piggy do not get along, because they are fighting for the approval of Ralph, and not focused on getting help. Jack needs to bring his ego down a notch, and let Ralph make the decisions, since ehe was chosen to be in charge. I think these boys will have to work out an organized system soon, or they wont survive much longer.
