The only way you can talk at a assembly is by using the conch shell. The only person that can interrupt is ralph. The conch shell is a smart thing to use. Therefore there is no quarrels at the assembles because it shows a way of civilization.

chapter 6

Dear diary, Today there was a dog fight over the island. So me and Simon walked the kids to bed. We had Sam and Eric on the look out to see what was going on but they were no uses because they had fallen asleep. Then Sam and Eric woke up and came running to me saying when they were trying to keep the fire up they saw the beastie.  I called a meeting immediately after they said that they saw a beastie. So we went looking for it with spears. We went on a part of the island that we have never walked on before.

But all it was is a dead person with a parachute.

chapter 5

Today is the day I call the meeting. I was just walking across the beach and thinking about how I was not such a great leader that I thought I was. So the meeting today will be about me being not such a good leader and how we can get are group into line. So I will call the meeting later on in the day. Now it is time for me to call the meeting. So I'm blowing the conch shell. Everyone is here now. He goes my big speech. There is nobody working no one is getting water, no shelters are built, no one uses the bathroom area. This is getting out of line. There is also no monsters or beast on this island. A few of the littluns spoke up and said that they saw the beast themselves but I don’t believe it. Then Jack runs away and the rest of the boys ran after him. The only people that are left is piggy, Simon, and I. this is no good so Piggy told me to blow the conch shell but it was ignored. Then I had a plan we have to find the and restore civilization and leadership.
