Lord of the Flies Chapters 4 & 5

These chapters were less structured with the writing as well as the plot, the imagery that the author provides the reader is necessary but a little redundant. It was interesting to me when Ralph acknowledged that Piggy is smart but his appearance causes him to be looked at as a weak link. It is apparent that rules are being discarded so early in the novel. All the little children seem to believe that Jack's a better leader then Ralph because he is a hunter. But, Ralph puts things better into perspective then Jack does. The meeting at the end of chapter 4 was pure chaos. Ralph struggles with being a leader and a friend to other boys who are on the island. These chapters further described characters and their thoughts. As the chapters continue, the fear of the unknown seems to be increasing rapidly.
