Dear Diary,Piggy is missing this emotional connection. He may be attempting to present the most beneficial plan of action for the group, but, because he lacks rapport with the other boys, he cannot make himself heard.Seeing that the boys pay attention to me when he repeats what Piggy has already tried to communicate, he protests That's what I said!I said about the meetings and things and then you said shut up.They stirred and began to shout him down.Piggy realizes the effect he has on the boys but not the cause of it, placing too much faith in the logical approach.Truth is not always obvious,and logic is seldom universal.Not until Piggy loses his temper can he get the boys attention and reveal the priorities he had in mind before they raced up the mountain. He points out that the island gets cold at night and that they should have built shelters before nightfall, his reason expressed too late for their emotional deeds.
