Blog 4-The Ship! (Ralph)

Why can't they act normally? We don't need me, Do we? How do I know what we need? Am I the right person to be chief? How do adults deal with all this?
I just layed there under a palm. I was thinking of being rescued and if I was a good leader. No wonder adults are always stressed, and always say you'll be able to handle it when your older. Finally I understand, when I get home I will do anything my parents need me to. I whimpered alittle bit and one small tear fell down my cheek. I looked out into the now familiar mirage. This was all so preposterous. We were all acting like fools, childish fools. maybe I wasn't the right person to be chief maybe Jack should be..... I was implying somthing about myself that I didn't like. How could I be saying this? Jack was the one who started the maddness. I am malevolent towards Jack, he has no right of being this way. I am still chief.... Right? This is irrelevent, What am I saying Jack could never be chief. I looked up and out into the horizon. Could it be?!?! Yes it is! I jumped up shouting "A ship! A ship!" I could not belive my eyes, but there it was a small line of smoke drifting up into the sky. Suddenly I had to aske Simon "Is the fire going?" We all knew the dreadful truth, I ran as fast as I could toward the fire. It was out, nobody was watching it, and The ship was gone. I stood there, In shame. If I could not even get kids to stay and watch a fire what good am I for chief. Out of no where I heard "kill the pig.cut her throat. spill her blood." It was a chant, Jack was leading the group and Sam n' Eric were holding the pig on a spear. When They came up to me I looked into the pigs eyes, They where an opalenscent color. I only had one thing to say to Jack.... "You let the fire go out," Jack just laughed it off and said
"We can start a new one,"
"There was a ship," Jack didn't seem to care he just went on ranting about how they closed in on the pig and when the spears hit her there was a shrill noise. He said to close in on her they moved in a gyration. I was incredulously, who would kill a pig then find out a ship was near and not even care. Jack is so childish and needs to start acting his age.

"If I could not even get kids to stay and watch a fire what good am I for chief."
I like this sentence because it shows Ralph's doubtfulness about if everyone made the right decision to make him the leader.
There are few grammatical errors like I don't think you used incredulously right. Besides that it's a really good blog, great job!
