But‚ I felt like falling to the floor and eating all of the tea cakes I was carrying while I cried

Entry II: Day 1 Today’s events have left me thinking a bit. After we got back from exploring the island‚ Ralph assembled another meeting to spread our new discoveries. We realized everyone would not stop talking at once‚ so Ralph decided that whoever holds the conch has the right to talk and can only be interrupted by Ralph himself.
