Journal Entry #4
I am probably the luckiest kid alive! I can kill, I have power, and I can do whatever I want!
I managed to catch a wonderful meal today. It was a pig! A living, breathing, pig! And I did it I was the one to make the final move. I feel so proud. And to think I was actually scared to kill at one time, HA! I laugh just thinking about it. I love this island. Although it is very different from England. There are no cars, buildings, queens, castles, or adults. NO ADULTS! No one to control me or tell me what to do. Ha ha! Oh one other thing about this island is that there are all these littluns and I can't take it! They are so BLATANT! I can deal with these kids doing nothing all day but when they cry at night I just go insane. Ralph has to be on there side that kid just makes me mad. He took my spot as chief and he made me look stupid in front of everyone! Who cares about fire!? We want meat and that's what we went and got. Ralph thinks I have some BELLIEREGNCE in me. I think he's more stubborn. Well anyways back to the pig so my hunting group painted their faces because I think that the pig can see us instead of smelling us or hearing us. So we painted our faces and we circled the pig and got it. I think that this all foreshadows a great way to get meat. Or any other living thing we want. If we can camouflage than we can catch food. I killed that pig MALEVOLENTLY and when I cut it GOUTS of blood came out. Although I might need some BALM for my scratches I got a good catch. When my face is painted I feel like a real hunter, and I feel stealthy. Ralph is getting all mad at me because a little dot in the ocean that was supposedly a ship passed by and didn't see us because our fire was out. Again I have to tell this kid that we needed meat and we needed it now. So I gathered up everyone and we caught the pig. Oh oh! I also feel happy because I got everyone to do this chant that went like, “Kill the pig. Cut her throat.” It was the coolest thing ever! All this came from me killing that pig! I have such a desire to kill and I think it came from somewhere inside me. Somewhere inside me I was trying to prove Ralph wrong. And I did. Shows what he knows. Anyway I need to gather more firewood. I will pick this up another time.

Huts on the Beach
Journal Entry #3
Today I had such a great day. It's been at least a week on the island and I'm making great progress. Today I helped Ralph build two little huts on the beach for shelter. I feel so accomplished! I wish I was more like Ralph he's so, so, leaderish! To me it's inscrutable how good he is. Well anyways I was building this hut on the beach for the little ones. The reason Is that their scared of the beastie that lurks around. I think that this island is so big that the snake thing wont even come for us. All those kids up at night just makes me so sad so I figured there had to be some way to help them and I think this was it. I'm glad I wasn't assigned a certain job. All the other boys got a specific job and I didn't. It makes me feel left out and relaxed at the same time. I think all of us were assigned a job though because we all need to do our part in keeping this island going if we want to live. Some people got fire watcher, some got to be hunters, and the rest of the kids just go and get water and fruit. But still none of them are doing it they are just slaking off. I agree with Piggy were all just acting like a bunch of kids. Were going to have some vicissitudes if we don't get up and do our jobs. I just think every ones to lazy to do their job. But one task I think that's key for survival is food and water gathering plus ship look out. The reason I think that is we need food and water but we also need someone looking for planes and ships. Oh well I guess if your reading this you might want to know what I look like. I'm short, skinny, and tan colored. I have black hair sparkly eyes. And I'm currently wearing no shoes and tattered shorts. I think I'm very helpful and I like making people happy. I hope we get rescued soon I think some people will start to go mad if we don't hurry up. We all know that Jack has that knife and I don't want to be around him when he gets the urge to kill. That is once he stops wimping out and does it already. The kid hasn't caught anything all week. I'm glad I have my secret spot though. It's covered with thick tendrils and vines so no one can see it. It's so opaque that the whole area is just a shadow. Whenever I get bored I have a strange compulsionto go there. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go there right now.

Stupid Jack!: Fire on the Mountain
Perspective: Piggy
Journal entry #2
Hello Journal,
I'm glad I have you if I didn't there would be nothing to do on this island. So its around the second day here on the island and I don't know where to go from here. That one boy Jack is really getting on my nerves. His errant behavior makes me want to come out in recrimination! He makes fun of me, he pinched my specs. And now hes interrupting me even though I have the conch! How does this fool think were going to survive if he can't even respect his own teammates! If only my Auntie were here...she would straighten him up for me. Well I'm starting to enjoy being on this island a bit. Everyone seems to be capering right now. I don't know what it holds in store for us though. I think there is something about this island that isn't going to go well. If my Auntie a\hadn't induced me to go on that plane I wouldn't be in this mess. There was this one boy with markings on his face that said there was some sort of beastie on the island. He said it was a snake like creature and I have a hard time not believing that after he disappeared. I think this beastie represents some sort of demon of fear that's coming from the island. Personally I have to admit that I am not a brave person. I am quite shy and I don't think that I will be able to sleep some nights thinking about that snake thing. Well I guess I should start to think about ways to get rescued. We built a fire on top of a mountain to make a smoke signal but we couldn't keep it going for long. The problem was that everything was so dry like the branches and leaves it didn't burn for long. I think we should build rock S.O.S signs and make colorful flags in high areas. I want to go back home as quick as possible and be safe again. I don't like being alone. I also don't like being excluded. All these boys are skinny and well in shape. I'm fat and I don't think I have enough strength in my body to do hard labor. But I think I am much more intelligent than all of them. It makes me feel proud that I am so much more mature and smart then all of them I don't need to be in great physical strength to be one of the best boys. But when I go to sleep at night I only can think of what adventure will come tomorrow. I just hope I can get off this island soon.

Lord Of The Flies
The Sound of the Shell
The Island and the Kid
Perspective: Ralph
Journal entry #1
Okay well I've never written one of these journal things before but seeing how there's nothing to do on this island I'll give it a shot. So I guess a lot has happened in the first couple of days. I became the leader of a tribe and I almost got meat for dinner. I wish jack would have just killed that stupid pig and we would have ad a nice dinner. So much for being the hunter. Anyway we crashed on this beautiful island a few hours ago. There is blue clear water everywhere and great fruit and rocky landscapes. The mountains are tall and the forest is greener than any other forest I've seen. Also on the beach ther are many palm fronds and palm trees. I think that this island is at least two miles around and in the center there is nothing but forests. All these little intricacies are what make this place cool. I've got to admit that this isn't such a bad place to crash. Well that's what I think. Well I guess whoever is reading this might want to know why I was on a plane. It's currently world war two as you may know or not and we had to find safety. So I was put on a plane and I was headed to the north part of England where there is no war at the time.
We were hit by some sort of shell or missile and our plane crashed on this island. Oh yeah my name is Ralph. I guess I should have mentioned that first. My other friend is Piggy. He is kind of chunky but I think he has a very bright mind and it shouldn't be put to waste. Then there is Jack. The guy is a jerk to everybody. He has a knife so he seems a little specious. He also doesn't even have a use in the tribe yet so I'm thinking about banishing him. Okay maybe not that's a little harsh. But still he's a jerk. Then there is Simon I don't know this guy a lot. All that I know is that he faints every time he gets nervous. Some good that's gonna do us. I think there aren't any adults on this island because when we crashed the only people that came were kids. Oh another thing is that I found this super awesome conch shell and it was the perfect shape and everything for a horn it even looked tow like me. I blew it and that's what attracted all the people. I feel so powerful. When I blew the conch shell I think that was as spark of effulgence. I think I got to be leader because I got the conch shell and I'm much nicer than Jack. I think the choirs job should be hunting because there all used to being a team and I think being a hunter requires teamwork so hopefully that will work out well.
