Gift For The Darkness

Simon's Jounal

After Jack finally declared that there is definitely, we settled up on the mountain until a new day came. We traveled back to the beach, with frightened faces. Ralph said that it was far too dangerous to go up the mountain or even go into the jungle. We started lighting a fire on the beach, hoping we will never have to go on the mountain again. Then Jack started mutinously talking about how Ralph should not be leader because he was afraid of the beast. I knew exactly what Jack was trying to do, he was trying to be chief. Flailing his arms up in the air, Jack tried to throw Ralph out of power. This conflict was interminable but at the end, no one wanted jack to be leader like they all wanted to be embroiled. Waxy, Jack walked away saying that he will start his own society and anyone who wanted to join him was free to. A few hours after, i walked down the beach a few miles and saw a pig's head, with flies swarming around it like bee's protecting its hive. It started talking to me, like a psychiatrist. I knew it was all in my head but it seemed interesting because it helped me figure out the unsolved mysteries in my head.

Boring

Piggy's Journal

After i woke up, i was told to look after the littluns. I found myself embroiled with the littluns about whether or not i should take care of them. After i have about explained why i should not take care of them, i felt dun because i knew either way, i would have to take care of them. I watched them until i saw a small child flailing a small piece of seaweed. I ran over there waxy, trying to tell him that he is not supposed to do that but he seemed impervious. He just stood there, not caring about a word i said. I felt bad for him and told him sagely, "Don't swing that around because you might hurt some one, now go have some fruit". When it was almost dark, i was told that Ralph and the hunters were not going to be back for another few hours or even days. I felt like i was the only person on this island that actually cared for the littluns, everyone else treated them like animals and not humans. Someday those little boys will be great people and they will thank me.

The Meeting

Ralph's Journal

After i declared the meeting, it was time for everyone to know that they cant just play around all day and let us do all the work. I was very disappointed in everybody on the island, including myself for not keeping everybody on track. I started telling everyone that they needed to pull their own weight, and i sincerely did not mean to scare everybody with my effigy of anger. Every one on this island was acting completly ludicrous with their behavior. i really expected much more from a group of boys with decorum. By the time the meeting was about midway, a very young man walked up and started talking about the beast the was known to the littluns. I feel bad for the young man because almost every person at the assembly was looking at him jeeringly. The small boy almost started lamentation infront of the whole crowd of people. Jack was very mad at the meeting because i would never let him talk, but it is his fault that he let the fire out. Then Jack started talking about how if there was a beast, he and his hunters would kill it. After these few days on the island, i am feeling like people are starting to loose their manners.

Blog Assignment #3

More Meat

Jack's Journal

I have been wondering through the jungle for about 2 hours now without any sign of pigs anywhere. Suddenly I see something move behind some bushes, I quickly through my spear into the bushes. I missed, feeling like i will never kill a pig, I heard the voice of Ralph. I looked around and saw Ralph standing on the beach. Ralph saw me and started yelling at me for not helping him with the huts. Why does he have to ask me, why can't he have the other boys help him. Ralph is so ludicous about being rescued, he wants to be rescued as soon as possible but i know we need to stay alive rather than trying to get rescued. If we are going to survive on this island, we are going to have to get more meat. Ralph started talking about how all my hunters were swimming and playing around, instead of helping out. I know Ralph is just trying help get everyone home, but he needs to relax first. Ralph is not going to do anything until he starts having some fun. Besides, the only person i see helping Ralph is Simon.

Later on i started getting mad because i could not catch a pig, so i brought the hunters to help me on my journey. We were hiking through the jungle when i heard something, I knew it meant meat. Suddenly one of my hunters decided to jump on the pig. From there on out, the pig was ours. We formed a circle around the pig so it had not escape, then we all attacked it. It was an insane battle between us and the pig. People were falling, the pig was squealing, but after a minute or two, I slit its throat and we finally concord it.

We walked home with pride on our shoulders. When we got back to the beach, Ralph looked at me malevolently. I told Ralph about our magnificent victory against the pig, but all he could do was tell me that a ship was on the horizon and there was no fire with a effigy of sorrow on his face. At that moment, I felt extremely bad about letting the fire die but I felt that we needed to survive instead of trying to get rescued as fast as we could. I apologized for my mistake of letting the fire die and told everyone to light the fire again. We had a pig roast not long after that, I ate without any decorum because i have not had meat in a decade. Ralph still had a look in his eyes like he is going to tempestuously attack me. I would think he would accept my apology and forget about this.

Fire On The Mountain

Simon's Journal

After everyone had settled down, everyone started fighting about all sorts of different things. Ralph wanted to use the conch as some kind of a microphone, so whoever had the conch got to speak. Usually i would agree with something like this, but then i started to think. What if some boys are not as well known as the other boys, and never get a chance to speak. Then piggy starts yelling about how we are never going to be found because no one knows we ever crashed. First of all, we are going to get rescued because if a plain goes missing, people will go searching for it. I feel like piggy is just to stressful and should relax a little. After all those crazy arguments were over, a little boy started talking about how he saw a snake like monster crawling around. Although everybody knows that this story is fake of course, everyone seemed to actually listen to what the little boy had to say. We all started thinking about how we are actually going to get rescued because nobody knows our exact location, so we decided to make a fire. We found some wood that was scraped by the plain by the top of a mountain, so we decided to use it. At first the fire was burning very well, but there was no smoke. So we put in some green wood, hoping it would ignite and create smoke. We knew we couldn't have all of us watch the fire, so we split up into groups. The groups were pretty good and were containing the fire, until one group was to lazy to actually watch the fire. They let the fire get out of control and burnt down many trees.

The Sound Of The Shell #1

Chapter 1 : The Sound Of The Shell

Piggy's Journal


I started off wondering in the woods, until i met a very strange but cool person named Ralph. I was talking to Ralph for a very long time until we happened upon a beach. This beach was like no ordinary beach, the water was clear as a crystal ball. The bottom of the lagoon, there were incredulous efflorescent tropical weed and coral. Me and Ralph also saw something else in the water, that was out of the ordinary. We found a conch, a very rare shell. The shell was mainly a tow pink color. When we found this conch, i knew in my mind that there has to be more people on this "island". I thought that Ralph could blow on it and see if anyone would respond. After Ralph blew on the conch, all sorts of children started appearing out of the jungle. Most of the children were wearing school uniforms. I thought to myself, what if i take their names just to get to know them better because we might all be stuck here for a very long time. All of a sudden, a very large group of older kids appeared on the beach. There was a teenager out of all of them that appeared to be their leader, and i just had a feeling that he was very specious.

When we started settling down, i could not help but look around at all the palm fronds that were very different from normal palm trees. The palm fronds were much larger than most palm trees. After that was the most embarrassing moment in my life because my friend Ralph told every person who was there that my name was piggy. I felt devastated because my so thought friend betrayed me and told everyone my darkest secret. Ralph decided that three people should go exploring to see if this is really an island. I would think that Ralph would proffer me to go, but he did not for some reason. I wanted to go into the jungle and study the intricacies of the trees and animals.
