Blog 13: revission

I saw all the smoke it was gray and dark and then it disappeared into the sky, I told the others to stop the ship. As I got onto the small boat I wondered about how the smoke got on the island. It looked deserted from where I was in the ocean. I could visualize the island, all of it burnt. As I stepped onto the beach I heard ululation of young boys. I then saw one of them run and peek through the forest. he looked drowned out and was bloody and had bruises all over his body. He lifted his head from where he fell, there were bugs on his back maybe as if he was cowering. About ten other boys poked out of the forest two in the back were heaving a spear stuck in the ground, what were they doing with a spear?
"Who is the leader here?"
As one small British shy boy started to come forward, he then stepped back as if he was scared of me, but then the boy at my feet answered.
"I am sir."
They then told me that there was two killed boys that were on the island. They all know better they were raised to be good boys. What was I to do take them back on my ship now knowing that they are savages. It was amazing to think why these little boys would do something like that, they didn't elaborate enough I needed to know about how it happened so I knew what to do. I looked out unto the ocean My ship sat there floating, I looked closely at the cannons and guns on the ship, maybe the boys weren't the only ones.

Blog 12: Trial of Jack (Piggys Auntie)

My name is Betty, My beloved nephew Piggy was stranded on an Island and then killed. I am fifty two years old and grew up and now live in Brittan. The boys should have known better than to act like crazy animals and kill people, especially my Piggy. I would think they would try to keep it together and behave. Roger should have also thought before what he did and now he has to live with it for the rest of his life, it was and outrage. Now my piggy is gone, I will never be able to see him.

Blog 11: SAVED


I saw all the smoke it disappeared into the gray sky, I told the others to stop the ship. As i got onto the small boat I wondered about how the smoke got on there the island looked deserted from where I was sitting in the ocean. I could visualize what it looked like on the island, burnt. As I stepped onto the beach I heard the ululation of young boys. I then saw one of them run and peek through the forest. he looked drowned out and was bloody and had bruises all over his body. He lifted his head from where he fell, there was bugs on his back maybe as if he was cowering. About ten other boys poked out of the forest two in the back were heaving a spear stuck in the ground, what were they doing with a spear?
"Who is the leader here?"
As one small British shy boy started to come forward, he then stepped back as if he was scared of me, but then the boy at my feet answered.
"I am sir."
They then told me that there was two killed boys that were on the island before. they all know better they were raised to be good boys. It was amazing to think why these little boys would do something like that, they didn't elaborate enough I needed to know about how it happened. I looked out unto the ocean My ship sat there floating, I looked closely at the cannons and guns on the ship, maybe the boys weren't the only ones.

Blog 10: forty feet


We walked down the island wondering what was going to happen to us once we entered Jacks Mansion. We walked up to the Roger who was guarding the big rock acting as if he was a guard for a castle. When we approached him we all leaned back from him as if we were scared. As we started to talk Jack had come and returned from hunting, we were trapped between two evil people. Ralph and Jack got into a fist fight while we stayed back from the nonsense. but Piggy felt like he needed to get in the middle of the fight. "I got the conch" he yelled. But as Ralph and Jack lowered the fight, a huge boulder that roger dropped charged down the hill aiming straight towards Piggy, as we stare at Piggy we stand in the same spot the whole time in shock about what was going to happen instead of trying to help. Piggy fell off the platform and split when he hit the rocks, in our whole life we would never think to see someone being killed but on this island anything can happen. As Jack runs towards Ralph they both disappear into the forest, while we are tied up.

"you better join our tribe, you have no one else but yourselves, well maybe Ralph". they tried to convince us.

We waited tied up and we hoped to see the return of Ralph.

Blog 9: Lets steal those glasses!


As I was in The hut with Ralph last night chatting with him I heard a noise outside. We both were very scared, like my auntie always says "Never let anything scare you" but of course I get scared. and that time I got scared very very scared. The morning before the thief came Ralph and I thought of what had happened the night before. Jack and his hunters were on the mountain, we figured out that Simon had been killed by them, I couldn't help myself but to gesticulate. What if it was an accident, what if they didn't mean to kill Simon? but when they came to the huts I saw a whole different side of Jack, Ralph and I sit in the hut talking when Ralph cut me off I wondered what he did it for the hut was so hot and stifling, Jack was outside of the hut making noises and saying my name, I was shuddered and very frightful. At first I thought he was coming for the conch but after they fought us and kicked and punched I realized that he only came for my specs. I stood up from where I lay and felt my face with blood smothered all under my nose. They probably wanted them to build a fire and roast their pig with it. It just makes it so blurry to think of people who are in the world who would want to hurt someone on the inside and the outside?

Blog 8: Simons death


As I stare down onto the island I wonder what will happen to Jacks group next. But while Ralph and Piggy are back on the island being so steadfast I can also see my home in war. When i Stood on the mountain talking to the Lord of the Flies I really thought about what would come next and he warned me about what danger it is to be on this island and to live with all of the other boys. I walked close to the beastie and I realized that it had something on top of it, it was not a beast it was a dead parachute guy, I had to tell the others what it was but as jack always being the corrupt guy he was he assumed I was the beast and killed my body but my soul lives up here in a safe place. When I heard Jack telling his hunters to kill me my last tear trickled down my face. I knew exactly what was going to happen. My whole life flashed before my eyes the good and the bad memories, even my achievements and the things I would never want to remember popped in my head. I was so tremulous, I felt like the whole world was on my back, I knew it was going to hurt, no one ever said dying was going to be easy, I learned I grew and I died.

Blog 7: what a hunt


Who would think that a boy like me, Roger would be stranded on an island trying to survive by hunting with the leaders of the island? The pig covert itself behind a bush, while I stayed back with my spear waiting for the sound of a squeal. I could picture the boys back at the beach right now probably sniveling there heads off because they don't have meat while we go out and hunt for our own food. When Jack was infuriating back on the beach I imagined all of the anger going away and all of us being rescued, seeing your mother going home to no war and living a happy life. Piggy told Jack the whole truth about the island, I personally think is is very smart and a sagely person but no one really notices him. Everybody on the island is always uncompromising, whining, crying, and yelling at each other, what happened to the first week we were on the island? all of that disappeared. When I saw the beast on the mountain I couldn't believe what I saw it was so scary and exciting and now all people do is fight about what were gonna do about the beastie. I know that everyone in the world blunders sometime in their life here but here on this island thats all we do its crazy! The only thing I want is to get off this island like all of us do.

Blog Quest 2: Interview

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.
