Chapter 12 Journal

My reaction to the end of the novel was disappointment. I don't want to sound harsh, but I was hoping Roger and especially Jack would die. I think Ralph cries at the end of the novel because he is realizing what they have done since they first arrived there. I think he had already given up hope that they would be rescued. He believed Jack and the savages would kill him and being rescued saved him. I despise Jack the most. It was under his influence that Roger and the boys became even more savaged. I would absolutely recommend this novel to a friend. I enjoyed the book and like how the author, William Golding, used the characters and their actions to show his opinion on the real world.
