Chapter 8: Gift of Darkness
Perspective: Jack
Today is a horrible day for the group. Ralph can not stop talking and talking about helping the group but he never does. I cant take the fact that ralph and the others dont listen to anything i say. The next day as the whole group was demure started to wake up i paced thinking about the beastie. I couldnt't take ralph teaching everyone the wrong way. We are fighters not wimps. You know what, right now i feel ralph is a huge wimp in not standing up so demoniac and fighting this beastie. I just had to unleash all my feelings on ralph so i went straight to him and told him that he is a complete wimp in not going after the beastie. I told it to him in ager and fury like a tiger and his roar.
I couldnt believe my mind. Ralph looked at me like i was crazy, prefect, and stupid when i told him that he was doing everything wrong. As i was thinking that i finally bursted out in a loud voice '' ralph you have no leadership skills at all, you cant lead these boys to courageness and strength and power or taboo. Here on out i say you should be removed from the leadership role now. '' All the boys looked at me like i was crazy, one guy spoke out and said that we all agree that ralph should stay in power and paunched his belly and said that your crazy jack. As soon as he said that i bursted out yelling and said right away. Ralph and you boys, im leaving this stupid group whoever wants to become a real man join me. As i walked away some followed but not as much as i hoped.
I did everything i could to defeat ralph and make him give up but nothing is good enough, i wanna just rip his head off. I will raid the beach tomorrow without sweat.
Without noticed me and my boys come out with fury about to raid the beach when one of my boys sees simon walking in the jungle. I tell them dont worry about it and lets get to what we are about to do.

Surrounding Wall
Chapter 7: Shadows and tall trees
Perspective: Ralph
One day while sitting on the rocks of the beach i looked into the smashing waves as they hit the ground when they came in. My eyes wandered out into the open sea and enjoying the wind and the clam sea. After some time i started to think about the bad has happened and while looking into the sea i all of a sudden pictured a huge wall surrounding the island like a prison. I sagely was thinking heavily about the island and if we were gonna make it or not. I felt trapped like a animal in a cage. As i walked back i saw Simon i sat him down and just started explaining what i felt. H assured me that there still is hope and that i can still have hope in being rescued. I was very happy when we walked off because of the hope we still have in others on this island but was also afraid of some others.
The next morning jack woke me up early to tell me about how if we not do something then the beastie will eat us all and we will die. I agreed and knew we had to do something fast. I grabbed a spear and asked jack if he can teach me the basics of killing a animal. As he taught me the simple rules and felt something strange as if i was being pulled two different ways. I just tryed to ignore my feelings and kept listening to jack. We all went on bravado after that to find the beastie in a chase. As i ran with the boys i had a flash-back on the moment earlier this morning how jack finally confused me in being apart of the hunt. I remember not wanted to join but i knew i felt like i needed to regain myself in the boys so i did anyway. As the moment crept further and further as the brine on our body started to come off i tryed not to pay attention again and just kept on with the boys as they do practice rounds on each other of killing the beastie but not hurting our group.
As i slept around the group i still didnt like the way everything was going. It just felt very weird. The next day me, jack, and roger all went up the mountain but as we got up there we saw a terrifying looking thing with moors around it, large, shadowy form with the shape of a giant ape, making a strange flapping sound in the wind. Horrified, we all run as fast as we could while getting hurt in the rugger ( like gazelles running from lions ) back to the group to tell them what we saw.

awakened
Chapter 6: Beast from Air
Perspective: Piggy
While sleeping i was dreaming of the beastie awoken and going to kill all of us. At that excat moment i was awaken by ralph, sam eric, and the other group members that the beastie has been seen by sam and eric and that we all need to grab our spears. I stopped in shock and couldnt believe that this was happening. Ralph quickly said that he wanted me to stay with the littluns to keep them protected and safe from the beastie. I then told ralph i would stay with them until death but in my mind felt that i wanted to come along mutinously with ralph and jack but they didnt let me. He looked at me in greatness and said, ok just what i would wanna hear. As the boys gathered their spears which were a bit waxy and got close to the littluns with my spear in hand ready to protect the littluns if they needed protection. After half an hour to an hour i then got a little sleepy. Diffidently i went in deep thought looking at the sky thinking if i fall asleep while the beastie comes i may lose the littluns and have to live with it the rest of my life. So that day i kept my eyes open as long as i could until the others got back.
As the pressure built up my fears got worse and worse as i heard the guano of the birds. One of the littluns was telling his friends about how ralph kept on encouraging us to not think about the beastie and keeps on telling them that we are all embroiled that beastie is not real and trying to get it out of our heads. As i heard the littluns say what they had to say i stopped and thought of the things we've gone through since we got here. I took about half an hour until i ran out of thought to think about how mean jack has gotten and how nice simon is being and how ralph is being such a leader. That this all together if we get out alive will be a great experience even though its life and death that if i stay with everyone, then all the guys will stay with me too.

Hope fading
Chapter 5: Best from the water
Perspective: Simon
I hope this meeting will be a good one because of jack's lack of listening to ralph and the littluns scared so much of the beastie. I just hope everything will turn out right i hope. As i walked into the meeting that ralph called i realized that jack and his hunters were discursive as they walked into the the meeting. As ralph discussed the manners that the groups been having it sounded to me very ludicrous of jack and his hunters to not even listen and pretend like it was like there wasnt even a meeting. After the meeting went on jack and his hunters left in a mad mood like they hated every bit of it. They danced and chanted while walked off for only one goal of theres, to kill the beastie. I couldnt believe this group of people have gone for good to horrible listeners. i cant believe they think they can just do whatever they want, well i didnt say that outloud just thought it.
The next day i walked over to ralph with piggy. As i got over there ralph was pasing thinking in deep thought. We asked what was wrong and suddenly ralph looked up at us in anger. He starts off with a strong discussion about the rules that he has and how he doesnt know what to do because noone is following them. He then mentioned in a way that he wanted to quit being the leader of the boys, all of a sudden i stood in shock about to scream. I told him in the best way possible that i wanted him to stay. He stood there for a minute and sayed that he would think about it. I still didnt feel great about what he said and just went throughtout the day in lost of hope and courage that i used to feel. Couldn't believe the boys made it come to this already and we havent even been here that long. I slept that night harder than i've slept since the day we got on this island. The moment i finally fell asleep i heard a strange screaming like lamentation fade in the distance of the island but never took the time to get up and se what it was and just went right back to sleep. I dreamed of the boys being very tempestuosly. As i knew that the incantation of ralph's voice not working i knew this island was going to come down hill sooner or later.

Journal #4: Painted faces and long hair
Chapter 4 "Painted Faces and Long Hair"
Journal #4 ( justin )
Perspective: Jack
Things continue to change as did amongst the boys, especially between the two personalities of ralph and I. The littluns nightmares continue to worsen. One day, three littluns, Percival, Johnny and Henry are building sand castles and digging. Nearby in the trees, Roger and Maurice linger, watching them. Roger and Maurice, just relieved from tending to the fire, emerge and kick aside the smaller boys castles, laughing with pleasure. I felt bad for them in a way but something told me to stay with it and to not be the hero here.
Maurice wanders away while Roger remains to observe Percival crying. The crying only gets worse when Johnny also, following the older boys destructive behavior, scatters sand into the air, and Percival leaves, crying, as does Henry. Johnny is left with the castles all to himself after scaring them off. Roger then follows Henry to the beach and proceeds to toss stones at him although there was a space round Henry into which he dare not throw. Despite the lack of an adult authority, the old ways into which he had been brought up still stayed with him, and with myself also i feel like roger is my second in command.
I end up to everyone suddenly, having smeared clay on my face like war paint or a tribal mask and, proceeds to take them all on a pig hunt. With the addition of the mask, I transform from within as well, already completing the move towards my urge that i cant help myself.

Listen Up
Chapter 3: Huts on the beach
Perspective: Ralph
Simon, usually a silent objective observer to these discussions, says that the littluns are all afraid as if "the beastie or snake-thing was real." He then disappears suddenly before Jack and I go off to the water hole to bathe, assuming that Simon has gone there as well. But he has not. Simon walks off mysteriously, alone. Around him is a certain glow where he walks, he gives himself without greed or desire for power, unlike both me and Jack. "Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for the fruit they could not reach passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands."
I felt as if i was the only one from the group of everyone because of my leadership. I feel like jack was to envolve with the pig, the kids dont pay attention, and piggy wont help with the shelters like everyone else. I cant believe this day, the day of the kids fooling around, jacks persuasion in getting meat, and the lack of listening in the group of boys who crashed on the plane.
While cutting some wood for the shelters i thought about the other groups of kids who wouldn't help me. At that exact moment i thought about my partner helping me i looked around but didn't find simon anywhere. I didn't know where he was but knew he was doing something good. I hope simon will be back from his journey or adventure soon. I looked around after many hours of choping down trees and realized he was not back yet.

Wondering moments
Chapter 2: Fire on The Mountain
Perspective: Piggy
Jack volunteers his hunters as being in charge of tending the fire and keeping a lookout for ships. I cut into the discussion with an odd laughter looking down, the signal fire has spread to a large section of the island, burning down everything in its path.''You got your fire all right.''
Shelters, not fire, are the most important things to create first. I got very mad at them for taking my glasses and starting a fire without clearing the area before they started. Lastly, i note missing from the group, as parts of the island below them burns, the boy with the birthmark who worried about the "beastie." I never saw that boy with the birthmark again as if he fanished into thin air after he left my sight.

The background boy
Chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell
Perspective: Simon #3
Simon was scared because in the book when the choir came to Ralph and piggy from the conch, they say Simon was faint and passes out. Simon knew then that he had to be scared that he was on the island and Simon was so shocked when it happened that he just passed out.
When he woke up he figured he would be back at it and a big part of the group but as the chapter went on Simon wanted to just be a follower and was staying a step behind everyone else and not taking a lead like Ralph and jack tryed to do. Simon worked for the good not the bad and helped everyone.
I think Simon speaks when he really wants something like food but i also know Simon will try to jump in when there's a time to either explore or help the group. Simon grew very shy to everyone and was a person who was kind and nice to everyone while everyone else was panicking.
