Final blog post

Ralph's Journal

I wake up and i felt very angry at Jack and their tribe. I picked up the conch and blew. All of the 4 people in my tribe came to the meeting, i told them that we needed to get Piggy's specks back. For some odd reason, Piggy wanted to bring the conch with him thinking it would work as a talisman to scare the evil out of Jack. We walked down to castle rock where Jacks tribe have stationed themselves. I got into this argument with Jack. Out of nowhere, Jack truculently stabbed at me with his spear. Piggy started complaining and told us to stop fighting. Roger got annoyed and shoved a gigantic bolder down and because Piggy did not have his specks, he did not know. Sadly, Piggy has died and it is all Jacks Tribes fault. I saw the spear coming and blocked it, then i smacked Jack on the side of the head. Then i could see all the boys delirious, thinking this was just a game. All of the boys chucked their spears at me, one had hit me and wounded me. I ran as fast as i could into the forest, hoping they would just let me go. Later that night, i tried to find Sam and Eric because i knew i could not take on Jack and his tribe all by myself. Sam and Eric shooed me like a group of pigeons trying to steal his food. I was very disappointed in them for not coming with me, but i understand that under those circumstances, they could not. The next morning, I hid in a place by the castle rock where it was completely impossible to get into unless your a great climber like me. I was hoping that they could not reach to me. They had a better idea, they just burnt the hiding spot and forced me out. So i came out the other side and ran as fast as i could until my lungs were on fire. I could hear the ululation of the boys, they were forming a cordon to search for me. I knew i had to find a safe spot to hide, so i found a spot that had no light that peered into it. Then i heard Sam and Eric being tortured by Jack and forced to tell him where i was. I got out and ran all the way to the beach where i stumbled and a strange man with a drill uniform and epaulets walked up to me. He started to ask me questions like are there any adults on this island and are there any people dead. I was very happy that we are rescued but i never really thought about it because of all of the things that were going on at that moment.
