LOTF Ch. 11 Castle Rock viewpoint: Jack

I won!

Ralph is all alone. I have taken everyone from him. There will be a cessation of challenges. I have killed Simon and Piggy. Samneric are tied up in my camp. Ralph is all alone! I'm almost delirious happiness. You know what Ralph did? He brought blind Piggy and Samneric over to my camp, asking for Piggy's glasses back. Like they thought they would get them returned! Ralph had brought the conch, acting as if it was a talisman. But it didn't have any power in my tribe. My tribe started attacking them, and I battled face to face with Ralph. It was a truculent battle. But, when Piggy fell off the cliff, brains spilled all over, Ralph seemed to break. We drove him back. Samneric were calling for help, but Ralph couldn't give it. He ran into the forest, dodging our spears by zigzagging around. He ran! He was scared. Now everyone sees how much more powerful I am than him. I'm more of a chief then he could ever be. I'm strong and brave. I am a hunter. I've shown that I can kill without hesitation. I've won the power struggle between me and Ralph!
