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.

Good job! I like when you put "something told me to stay with it and to not be the hero here." That is exactly what Jack would do and I noticed a lot of people doing similar.
You are leaving out the vocab words though!
Good job!
I thought that this blog entry kind of sounded like something you would read in Lord of the Flies. I liked how you talked about Henry pertaining his manners and still somewhat acting like a well-mannered boy. But you should include your vocabulary words next time. But I still think you were very descriptive and did a good job.
i liked it, it felt like jack. the entry felt like a piece from the book. vocab could have been used in a couple different ways though.
I liked the advanced vocabulary that you used throughout the post. How ever I don't think that you talk about the most important part in chapter 4. I think that you also did a good job with details of how Jack felt.
thanks a lot guys, gosh..... little harder next time
