Chapter 12
Cry of the Hunters
At Last
Ralph
I have ran and ran away from all these crazy savages after Samneric told them where I was hiding. I thought that hiding in the thicket was going to be a good idea it kept me hidden for a while before Samneric told on me and I was in danger while I was in there. It was scary being in there when I had Jack, Roger, and Samneric were pushing boulders, sticking there spears at the thicket, and lastly but most dangerous start the thicket on fire. That's were I had to come out.
I have to admit that piece of meat that Samneric gave me really gave me energy to run that much. I feel like Samneric traded me for with the wrongest person ever. Event though they had no choice to join Jack's tribe cause they were forced to, but I feel bad. I also feel bad, and scared when Samneric told me what Roger prepared a stick sharpened at both ends. After running and hiding all that time I came to my glory when I ran to the beach I found my rescue, there it was a Naval officer standing there with a fancy EPPAULETES. After I come to this, behind me Jack and some boys appear half naked in not very DRILL clothes with a spear in his hands running like a crazy savages. Another person that we thought that died and appeared was Percival Wemys Madison. He was there but for some reason he couldn't remember his name. After the Naval officer tells us he's very upset at us thinking that a group of kids like us who seem to be innocent are responsible for killing two kids and not knowing how many we were, basically for not being responsible. After all I had to take responsibility for all this. I was very DISTENDED after all this.

Dear Journal,

Right now I'm feeling like I should tell everyone how I feel about the following things: Ralph and Piggy’s discussion about what happened the previous night and their role in Simon’s death.
Jack’s rule of his tribe (including his treatment of Wilfred and their discussion of the beast “in disguise” as Simon).
Jack’s plans with Maurice and Roger.
Jack and his tribes attack on Ralph’s tribe.

Ok so starting out with Ralph and Piggy's discussion. I feel very loved when Piggy told Ralph the truth my death. I feel it wasn't in accident I think that they should think before they do their actions. Ralph I mean I know he cared about me too as well, I don't blame him for feeling like that. Cause I strongly believe that he was scared and he knows what he did but he is just scared to admit it.

Well what can I say Jack at last got what he wanted. I feel that even this meant lots of problems for everyone and the whole tribe together.. I feeli this is a moment of happiness for him. He must feel powerful. I think it's good that he took his decision so he could do whatever he wants, even though he used to. But I feel good that Jack is feeling good with his tribe. The only thing I don't agree with is that he ties up his own tribe.

I couldn't believe that Roger and Maurice wen along with it. I know Roger was Ralph's right hand but they should of again come up with something else than blinding Piggy.

The only thing that I have to say about his tribe stealing Piggy's glasses is that that's the only thing that was really messed up. I mean I know that's the only thing they need to become true tribe. But I believe that a true leader will come up with their own idea to make fire. I believe that it's not horrible that they stole it to have fire but what it is that they blinded Piggy.

Chapter 8
The scene when the Lord of the Flies talks to and threatens Simon
I chose this scene because I thought it was really freaky how the Lord talked to Simon. After that he technically made Simon’s death come true. I feel it’s very scary how Simon believes he talks to him. I feel that if I got my imagination running like his and getting to meet my really dark side I will get very scared. I think the freaks part is that only he got to talk to. One big wonder I have is will the others be able to see and think that?? Lastly I think that I think the scariest thing is that a pig made him realize some stuff. The wrong things, it’s also freaky how right after they talked he went to visit the beast. And later died…

Chapter 9: A View to a Death
I believe that the person that had the fault of Simon’s death was the Lord of the Flies. I really strongly believe that cause of his death was the chat between Lord of the Flies and Simon. The lord’s jeeringly pushed Simon to go check on the beast. His evil’s comments kind of got Simon on the right track to realize what was really happening. Also on the wrong track to take the right decision but wrong error. Overall I believe that Simons death was caused by Lord of the Flies.

Shadows and Tall Trees
“Kids”
Piggy
* What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.
After Ralph went out o hunt for the beastie along with the hunters he added just a little more brine on this rough journey we’re having. I was told he hit the boar, with the spear. It’s like Jack’s desires of killing got Ralph. He was very excited along with the other kids!! I was also told they were playing around as if Robert a small kid was the pig, and they were about to kill him. So they did exactly as they do with a real pig. Except they were poking Robert with the smooth end of the spear.
* Jack suggests, “You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act, you know, pretend to knock me over and all that.” Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?
Jack suggested adding a littlun as the pig. He said the littlun could substitute its place. I really did not like that idea. I think Jack was saying that with lots of impervious even though Jack I have to admit has a very sagely mind for hunting. I believe this foreshadows two really bad things.
1: Jack wanting to kill a littlun. I say that cause of his comment he said just a few days in the meeting: “suck to the littluns.” That to me showed me he doesn’t want them alive since they don’t do much.
OR
2: Maybe this just foreshadows another littluns death.

* What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)
The kids are so gullible of this beastie because Samneric’s description. They were totally the opposite of dun, I mean they used lots of windy language. The evidence that they have to tell us about the beastie is that…. They actually saw the beastie rocking back and…. forth. The people who saw it first was Roger, Jack and Samneric.
* How do you feel about the game the boys play after spearing the pig?
Like I said what they did of their acting to me seemed to be all a thing little kids will do. All I really hope for is that Ralph doesn’t turn into another Jack that the only important to him is hunting.

Beast from the Air

We've Found It

Ralph

What sign comes down from the grown up world?
At night I was begging for a sign from the grown ups to survive this island. As I was sleeping in the night I see a great explosion in the sky. I was so suprised, but at the same time I felt excited. The sign comes down... A person flailing with a parachute comes down right after the explsion. I see the person coming down as it gets lost throught the forest.

Why aren’t the boys aware of it?

I was so suprised that this morning when Samneric came to tell me they weren't as waxy as I thought they will. But a reason anyone wasnt aware of this was because it was in the night. I thank god for this because I think that if the littleuns will have seen it they will act if they have seen leviathan.Another reason why no one is aware its cuz everyone is focoused on survivng the night.

Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?

Samneric are so terrified when they come to tell me is cause they actually saw this thing that call it the beastie. They found it near the fire. Where they slept and stayed there to take care of the fire. So that thing was only a few steps away from there eyes. When they told me it was in a diffidently tone.

How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?

Samneric described the beastie to the kids with long claws, wings, and some sharp teeth. From the description that they gave to the others it made it sound very guano.

What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
Well they reacted two diffrent ways.I though everyone should make a game plan. So it could be very safe. But on the other hand Jack as always with his mutinously attitude just wanted to act very fast quick. From my point of view very stupid.

Is there really a beast? How do you know?
Right now, were still on the look for this beastie. But I am starting to believ it and my evidence is last nights sign.

Do you feel that you are still the strongest leader on this island?
Right now I feel like Im one of the littluns. No one respects my rules. No one does there job. Most importantlyI dont get treated like the leader. Right now I feel that Jacks stupid choir and his meat are whats ruling this island. Because he provides them with something.

What kind of pressures and stress do you feel as the leader responsible for the boys?
The most stressfull thing at this point is of course the beastie. Thats what is frightning the kids and keeping us up all night. This I feel is the biggest pressure on me. I feel like Im resposible for taking care of them.

Do you like being a leader?

At first I felt some special power in being leader, but now.... I dont like it. No one like I said respects my place as a chief. Now everyone goes byt there rules. Do what they want. So really not excactly at this point.
