Why are you all begging Ralph to be your chief? Why shouldn't I be chief? I, Jack Merridew, would be the best chief you ever had because you guys will soon starve. If I am chief, I will be able to satisfy all of our hunger through hunting. Also, we'll be on an adventure and have fun! The ideas I proudly stand for are satisfaction of hunger and excitement. There is nothing wrong with this island, and with me, we will survive. As long as we have meat, we will get through to when we are rescued. For quite a while now, I have lead my choir and have made us all survive so far. Because I love to hunt, we will always have food, for I will make sure we are in constant supply of it. Don't vote for Ralph. I don't understand exactly why you…show more content… He may be smart and whatever, but he is not useful. We need a strong man to lead us and help us in difficult situations. He won't help us one bit and nobody wants him. All he will do is just drag us down. Piggy is too reasonable and intelligent for us, so he'll be no fun. Obviously, the choir is on my side. What does that tell you? It means that if my followers still want me, there must be a good reason. I am a naturally born leader and I am quite good at it too. Also, I know the island better than any of you do. I have been here long enough to figure out how everything works. I will get us all rescued. In addition... really, Ralph? I mean, why? Ralph doesn't know anything about the island. And even if you were to even consider Piggy, then you are obviously dumb. Piggy is fat and pessimistic; he'll make the worst out of every situation. What's the fun in that? If I am elected chief, I promise that all of us will have adventure, fun, food, and potential rescue. It's so funny to think that Piggy believes he will become one of us. Ha! I mean, he's useless! He believes he can help, but once he gets up, he'll literally fall down. To narrow it down, as long as I am chief, I'll make time for fun and beef. Ha! [runs around stabbing an invisible pig] Can't you taste it? Flesh exciting your taste buds at every bite? If you don't think that sounds great, then you are…show more content… I have led my choir and they obviously like me. They want me as chief! Isn't that enough to make you want me? Ralph and Piggy haven't led anyone, and they will not be good at it if you were to choose either of them as chief. Now, I have a set list of plans. The most important thing is survival, and what comes with survival? Meat! First off, we'll hunt and eat and satisfy ourselves, then we'll worry about rescue. You don't want to starve, do you? If I'm chief, we'll hunt and eat hundreds of giant pigs! We'll have all that we could possibly need to live. Let's see... hm... Well, it looks like we have most of the boys on my side, isn't that right? What does that tell you, to those who believe that Ralph is better? The boys who chose me are older and wiser, so I believe that only the bigguns' votes count because they know best. The littluns don't know anything, so they don't matter in this grown-up situation. What matters most is that I have the most bigguns on my side. Ralph has only got a couple of babies voting for him and Piggy. Well, that says a lot, doesn't
