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.

Amber-
Roger as we know is a follower of Jack's and loves to hunt. You showed this very well in this passage. Personally, I thought it was great how you used a question to start off your entry. The detail you used, was also amazing. I love this part of your entry, "he 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" Amazing! Keep up the good work.

"Everybody on the island is always uncompromising, whining, crying, and yelling at each other, what happened to the first week we were on the"

Nice use of the word, you used this word correctly and very nicely in that paragraph but in this one: "The pig covert itself behind a bush, while I stayed back "

Maybe The pig hid itself in the covert? Because in the story covert is used as a hole/ditch.

But besides that the whole idea of your blog is interesting.
