Dear Jack,

	Remember me? We have both grown older and wiser since that inevitable incident. I would like 
you to know that I don't blame you. If I had been a better leader, then the tragic death of Piggy and Simon 
might have been avoided.
	I'm really sorry that it had to end that way. Even though, I feel the outcome was unavoidable, I feel 
as if I didn't take care of everyone after I became leader. You were a better leader than I was but I'm 
afraid you lacked common sense. We were all so childish back then and no one really understood much. 
Remember our fears about the beast?
	Even though Piggy and Simon died pointlessly, I believe that the outcome was the best. Their 
deaths were tragic but I don't believe that anyone at that time had the power to save them. There also 
doesn't seem to be anything better than being rescued. I'm sure that even you would have soon been tired 
of island life.
	I'm very glad that these are past events. I was absolutely frightened when almost everyone started 
losing control, not caring about anything besides hunting. Their passion for hunting, stirred up by you, led 
them to hunt pigs and forget the fire, to the deaths of Simon and Piggy, and to the most frightening time of 
my life while I was being hunted.
	Without your presence at the time, our life might have been calm and peaceful. However, I'm glad 
that you showed me the flaws that everybody possess. The temptation for violence and brutality can be 
overwhelming sometimes. I just hope that we can learn to control it.

	Sincerely,
	Ralph
