Chapter+1

I think the boys tried to recreate a civilization like their own by first selecting a leader. They had an "election" to vote for the best leader. They also tried to pick out the string from the weak. They did this by giving each age group an easier job. Like for example they gave the 6 year olds little jobs, like collecting sticks for the fire. Also they were trying to think of all the things that they would need or need to escape the island. For example, building the fire was a way for them to get someone's attention to get them off the island. Something else I noticed was, they singled people out and made cliques. For me that made me think they were trying to make themselves feel like they were still at home and nothing was different. I believe that, that was also a copping method for the fact that they were stuck on an island.
