My main concern was that it would be hard to gather the five of us together to get the work done; I was also concerned that 5 people trying to get across different ideas may lead to arguments, or people feeling pushed out.

like sound of the conch bursted through the jungle. As soon as I heard it I rushed towards the meeting place. A few boys were already there, but many still had to come. Over the course of 10 minutes almost all of the boys had shown up. When the group became quiet, Ralph explained how we needed to become more organized and that we needed rules.
