Journal Entry 4: The Beast

Complete terror has come over the island and majority of the boys. Some of the little kids say they have seen a beast, well more of a giant snake, or whatever. I think they are crazy and out of there minds. It is obviously no beast or monster on this island, we searched the whole island, Jack and me, we saw no traces of a beast, monster, or anything of that nature. This kids must be making this up in there minds because of the shock and fear from the plane crash. I don't know why these boys would even believe a little child, they are obviously confused and don't have the proper mind set. I'm sure it was probably just large branch on the ground or something stupid like that, I honestly can't bring myself to believe a silly, scared, little child, when he says there's a beast on the island. Its so dumb to me.I think I may be the only rational thinking one on the island, well Jack is thinking the same way I am..
Wait, what if there really is a beast on the island. What will we do? How will we protect ourselves? We don't have any weapons, only thing we have is Jack's pocket knife. That won't do any good against a huge monster like beast. Although I've eased the little kids and the other boys mind, I'm still not completely sure if the island really is free of a beast. I'm hopeful that it is, but what if I'm wrong? I wouldn't even know what to do if an evil monster was lurking on the island. I wouldn't know how to keep the boys, let alone myself, safe. I guess I never considered how I would keep everyone safe when I took the role as leader. For the sake and safety of everyone, I pray to God, this "beast" doesn't exist..
