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.
