LOTF Chapters 2 and 3 Response

            In Chapter 2, I realized that Piggy really is the most knowledgable and intelligent boy on the island. Though he has good ideas and says important things, nobody seems to pay any attention to him, and when they do, Piggy ends up getting laughed at. An example of Piggy being a little bit smarrter than the rest was when everyone was cheering when the woods caught on fire, and Piggy realized that they were burning a big portion of their source of food. Also, it was very sad when they realized that the little boy was killed in the fire.
            In the beginning of Chapter 3, there is a scene of Jack hunting in the woods. He almost seems like he has gone crazy. It said he was crawling like a dog on the ground and was acting very animal-like. Jack had a spear and seemed like he just wanted to kill anything that he could at the moment. I was a little confused at the end of the chapter when it described Simon going out into the woods alone and just kind of standing there. It must have meant something, but I can't seem to figure out what.
