Amber- Hello Ralph welcome to the show thank you for coming.
Ralph- Thank you for having me
Amber- So was there ever a point when you said I am never going to get off this island?
Ralph- Oh yes i was very scared and i had no idea what was going to happen to us, i was getting use to the idea of staying there forever.
Amber- Did you like the idea of Jack being the leader in the beginning?
Ralph- Well in the beginning I didn't really know Jack, but I didn't think that he was going to do a very good job as the leader because he focused on the things that did not matter.
Amber- When you were on the island did you feel like you were taking care of the littluns like you should have?
Ralph- Well i think that alot of times I could have payed more atention to them especially beacause they were scared of the beastie on the island.
Amber- When were you most scared on the island?
Ralph- There were alot of times i was scared especially because we were stranded on an island, alot of the time I thought we were never going to get off the island, like if we were going to eventually die at one point, I asked myself that question alot.

Blog 5

The ground sparkled with leaves and sticks. Amanda lifted the palm frown from the ground as she examined it, she heard something from the side yard it was just her dog Henry. The leaves from the tree flowed to the ground, the grass lifted from the ground as the roots yelled for survival. The sky poured its tears onto the ground. The ants on the ground marched towards the hole on the house with the leaves on their backs. She did not like this, the rain the ants the dog. Even though this feeling tickled through her stomach she loved the dog. The land shook with fear as thunder roared and lightning beamed.

Blog 4: painted faces and bloody hands?

The sky glimmered with opalescence and the moon made everybody fall asleep with there heads on the ground. As morning woke the sun I got up off the ground with a stiff neck from laying on the ground the night before. The sound of footsteps on the soil dirt woke me up I thought I saw a lion but it was just a mirage. The footsteps faded into a silent sound of the wind, the shadow of them followed into the forest.
As I sat down on the beach I looked down to the water, in the distance a a ship glazed across the water.
"A SHIP A SHIP!!!"
As I looked around the only person who heard me was Piggy, as the other little kids whimpered on the sand. Piggy's face looked incredulously like he didn't even believe what I was saying.
I looked up at the mountain, the fire was out!! "wheres the fire?! why is it out!?
I couldn't believe it where was Jack and the choir they were supposed to be keeping the fire going at that hour. A shrill came from the forest I looked to the left and Jack and his hunters brought a dead big on their shoulders.
"we caught a pig!" Jack poked through the bushes with a spear in his hands. He was preposterous I couldn't believe what he did. The ship passed, we could have been off the island. The idea was so irrelevant I couldn't believe it! we didn't need meat. his failures made me malevolent towards him. Everybody now implicated that Jack was the leader.

Blog 3: Huts on the beach

I couldn't help myself, I needed to kill an animal we all needed meat. I was in the forest waving my knife around in a circle cutting the tendrils that hang in front of me. The festoons of the forest make my eyes glimmer. As I here something in the bushes I turn my body towards the sound. It was just Ralph.
"Jack what are you doing?"
"Im hunting we need meat"
"Jack, we need to build some huts down on the beach the little kids are scared, we need to make them feel more at home."
"But we all need meat, don't you understand?"
Ralph looked at me with a furtive face. As I looked at him with a flaunt face. He did not understand what i was trying to say, the littleuns don't need shelter they need comfort food and that is what I shall do for them, then I will be leader. He was being so oppressive. I was bewildered, what was the meaning of this? as i looked at my feet in the sand a sharp piece of barb lay next to my toe. It did not make sense he was being inscrutable. Ralph stood up and walked down to the beach. As I went on with my hunting.

Blog 2: A fire on the mountin

As the three boys come back to the main part of the beach we search for food and water,Piggy took a bite of a banana that he found on the ground he took a bite it was so irresistible he could he one hundred more. . Piggy ran up to the three boys.
"so what did you guys find?"
" Shut Up Piggy were going to tell everyone in a little bit" Jack yelled in a strong voice.
Piggy felt officious like he never wanted to be alive, he wondered if he would ever get off this island, he thought am i ever going to see my Auntie again?
piggy sat on the side as Ralph and Jack told the group what they found on their journey.
"okay everybody were gonna split up and find some food and water. Jack, I and some of the other boys are going to start a fire on the top of the mountain."
PIggy went into the forest and looked for some fruit as he saw the older boys go up the mountin.He followed them up the steep mountain.
"Hey guys wait up I want to come"
"Piggy we don't need you leave your not able to do this" Jack spoke loudly.
Ralph spoke loudly " you guys I can not get the fire started, I need some help. Ralph had the two sticks in his hand and was nimbleing them as fast as he could.
"We could use his glasses" Jack yelled.
"What? NO!! I am not giving you my glasses." said piggy in a tumult voice.
Jack snatched piggy's glasses off of his face.
"HEY give those back, those are mine!!"
"we just need them to start a fire!"Ralph yelled harshly
He warped his glasses and put them near the sticks so then it reflected on the sun.
Jack was not even thinking about Piggy's feelings he was being very scornful.
Piggy sat on the side watching them trying to start a fire with his glasses.
"You guys don't even care about the others people on this island, there are little kids here who do not know what the heck is going on, their parents are not here and we don't even know their names. Piggy stood up and walked down the mountain. As he looked back he saw flames in the air and people running down the hill.
" RUN! FIRE!" everybody yelled.
All the boys ran like cheetahs down the mountain as they looked back on the mountain they asked themselves Where was that little boy? who was up there?
"WHERE IS HE?" Ralph yelled. As Ralph looked around he saw heads staring at the ground.

Blog 1: The Conch shell
You look out your window and see flames at the back of the plane, the plane flies down to the ground with lives to hold on to but we no longer know, this is what the characters of the book Lord of the Flies had to go through. I quivered out of the water and onto the beach to the jumbled forest. the kids around me looked up at me as if they just had woke up on a Saturday. the one boy by the Lagoon looked Pallor or as if he saw a ghost."What happened I thought, where am I"
A young boy started to Clamber towards me looked me in the eyes as if he was about to cry he was about to speak until I heard a loud strident. we tried to follow the sound but we were grated on the other side of the forest, we then decided to swim across the lagoon. As we got closer to the sound we saw the clamor of the sound. the fat boy next to the clamor looked like he had devoured a cow. After the boy with the conch had everybody at one spot at the beach, he stared at us for a second, he looked like he had fell onto a pointy rock he had scratches and bruises, he looked indignant. He said he should be the leader but as another boy stepped out of the crowd he said he wanted to be the leader.
"Then we shall vote", the conch boy yelled. My speculate was for the big strong boy who called himself Jack should have been the leader, but as the rest of the crowed voted the conch boy had won again. I could not see over the whole crowd but as i looked over all of the heads I saw the three leader boys walking down the beach. A decorous voice behind me told me to find some fruit.
"I am to vain to find fruit" I thought, but if it was what we needed to do to survive then why not?
As I went to search for some fruit in the vine forest a boy interposed.
"would you like some help finding fruit?" he asked
"umm sure, lets go this way" as the day went on we found some fruit in the trees and waited for the three boys to return.
