Chapter 3: Huts on the Beach (by Emily H)
Chapter three of Lord of the Flies starts out with Jack out hunting a pig, meanwhile Ralph and Simon are working on building huts for the younger kids, without any other help. Ralph gets annoyed that no one in the group is helping build, they are all playing around in the water. He also brings up the fact that the hunters have yet to catch a pig, and other promblems going on on the island. He tries to tell Jack, but Jack did not listen because he was busy thinking about how to getr a pig. Ralph then goes on to complain that Jack and the hunters are using hunting as an excuse to get out of working, Jack says that this isn't true and the two burst into arguements. While the two are fighting, Simon wonders off alone into the woods. Simon walks into a beautiful part of the jungle, where he is all alone and sits down and enjoys the scene.

I agree that Jack and his group are using hunting as an excuse to avoid building shelters. This is the start of a conflict between Jack and Ralph.
