Lord of the Flies

Lately we have been talking about Lord of the Flies in english class. We talk have talked about how if the boys couldn't work together, they would get no were and probably wouldn't survive. In there little community, I saw that the boys didn't necessarily have to like each other, they just needed to get there jobs done. Jack and Ralph certainly didn't like each other but if it weren't for Ralph's leadership they would have fallen apart, and if it weren't for Jack's hunting abilities they would be starved. Every summer, I go to Camp Greystone for 5 weeks. Of course I have my 4 best friends that are always there for me, but after 5 weeks in a cabin with all girls it can get pretty catty. Even after two weeks you can start to dislike people. There was one girl in my cabin, this past camp session, that i really didn't like because she wined about everything. We were at camp we were suppose to be having fun. Although I didn't like this girl, I had to deal with it. She was there to stay. I didn't have to see her during my classes, but we did have to do our job in the cabin to keep it clean for the benefit of both of us. We would set our differences apart for 45 min a day to help clean up the cabin as a group. We sometimes even learn to cope with the people we don't like. Jack and Ralph tried this at first and then Jack couldn't take it anymore. This girl would always whine to my friends about how she wanted to go home and blah blah, but I never said anything, I just found some of my other friends and left the cabin. Jack turned into a monster trying to take everything from Ralph, while Ralph just let him have it his way and carried on with what he was doing before. We all have to deal with people we don't like but it is best just to leave things alone than make a scene. Just distance yourself and maybe have a friend to vent to, then you won't have any enemies or people chasing you through the woods trying to kill you.
