Dear Journal,
It was really hard for me to watch all this happen and not do anything. Jack is getting out of control or already is out of control. Once I died everybody just went crazy. The thing that really made me mad was the Jack forced samneric to join his tribe. What also made me mad was the Jack and Roger have the nerve to kill Piggy like that. There Just making me mad.
That day Ralph had to go back to get samneric back, But samneric couldn’t go back because they were scared that Jack and his tribe would kill them. I think that samneric did the right thing by not going with Ralph because they would have died. One thing that I didn’t think that samneric had to do was tell Jack where Ralph was hiding. It was vary uncalled for.
When samneric told Jack where Ralph was the boy started throwing big rocks on him to try to get him out or to kill him. Soon Ralph went out and started running in to a cave. He did that because Jack set the whole island on fire so Ralph had to get out. After one of the boys found Ralph in the cave, Ralph started to run on the beach were someone saw the fire that Jack did. They finally got off the island before Jack kills a nether person.

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 11: Castle Rock
1. In the beginning of the chapter, what does Piggy tell Ralph to do with the conch?
2. What reason will Piggy give Jack for the return of his glasses?
Piggy wants to just comely go up to Jack and ask him for his glasses back because he can’t see without them.
3. What does Ralph declare their appearance will be when they approach Jack?
Ralph wants the boys to be clean and to have their hair brushed back.
4. Who challenges the boys on their approach to Castle Rock?
Roger challenges the boys on Castle Rock.
5. When Jack appears, what has he been doing?
Jack went hunting before the fight of him and Ralph. I no this because the book says that he was holding a pig’s body with its head chopped off.
6. What does Ralph call Jack that provokes a fight?
Ralph tells Jack that if he would have asked for the glasses to start a fire for cooking then he would have given it to him, but he didn’t he stole them.
7. What happens to Samneric after the fight?
They get tide up and they were forced into Jack’s tribe.
8. What is Roger doing during Piggy’s plea for a return to decency?
Roger is on top of the mountain and he pushed the rock down the hill that kills Piggy
9. I think that Jack is responsible for piggy’s death. If Jack did want to be chef so bad then everyone would probably be doing better then they are now. Everyone on Jack’s tribe are just animals they enjoy killing pigs and animals and now I’m starting to think that they enjoy killing humans. That tribe is really bad and if I was there I would want to be with jack right now or on the other side of the island.

Dear journal,
The Island got really crazy when I left and even before I left. I hard about the talk with Ralph and Piggy and it was really interesting. I am on Ralph side even though it was dark I did say stop and that it was me a bunch of times and they kept on going. Even though Piggy does have a point it was dark and they couldn’t see anything, I’m still on Ralph’s side on this one.
Jack shouldn’t be ruling anything because he gets to into it and he makes everyone do what he says. I also agree with Ralph’s tribe on this that Jack is getting out of control and sooner or later there going to turn into even bigger animals then they were before. Some one needs to do something before another person dies. It’s so bad hopefully they get rescued soon because I can’t take this anymore.
I couldn’t believe that Jack went and attacked Ralphs tribe like he did I was unbelievable. He did not have any right to do what he did, should have just asked for piggy’s glasses to make a fire. If I were Ralph I would be going crazy, I would go up to jack and scream at him. It’s amazing how just one person can tear everyone apart like that. It’s also amazing that everyone’s on Jack’s side and not on Ralph’s

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 9: A View to Death
I do believe that Jack and his hunters are responsible for Simon’s death because Jack did start this group of animals (people) and all of the hunters are lead to believe that there is a beast out there some were. Also Jack is getting a little out of control with his leadership. On of the examples of Jack getting out of control is- Jack spoke “ give me a drink.” Henry brought him a shell and he drank, watching Piggy and Ralph over the jagged rim. Power lay in the brown shell of his forearms; authority sat on his shoulder and chattered in his ear like ape. “ All sit down” I choose this from the book because it shows how Jack is acting like he’s the king of the world when really his not. Another part is- Jack leapt on to the stand “ do you dance! Come on! Dance!” This is another good example of how jack is getting to out of control and since he’s leader every ones going to follow him and that’s how there turning into animals.
Lord of the Flies
Chapter 8: A Gift from the Darkness
This scene that I picked was the scene where Jack and his hunters killed a pig. It was a vary evil and detailed scene. You here/read how the boys are quickly becoming animals. Jack is obviously the leader of this new group and it seems like all he really cares about like always is hunting and being a leader or a king. Jack doesn’t really care about other people and other things. This scene was just showing how Jack and the hunters are really hooked on hunting and killing. If Ralph didn’t call this meeting and Jack didn’t want to be leader so bad then I don’t think any of this would have happened. But Jack has to be leader or king so when Ralph called that meeting Jack needed to do something about it. Now everyone is on a different side and Jacks team are getting really bad. Jack is always trying to get more people on his side, so that he can have all of the people and Ralph only have piggy. Right now the sides are, on Ralphs side there is Ralph, Piggy, Sam, Eric, and the littluns. On Jacks side there is all the hunters. It doesn’t really seem like jack has a lot but he really does. Also he is living at the coastal rock, which personally I think it’s better then where Ralph, it living.

Chapter 7- Shadows and Tall Trees
“Kill”
Perspective: Ralph
Jenny- What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.
Ralph- Well it wasn’t really a game it was more like a play or a reenactment. It was really weird the boys that were “killing” the “pig” (Robert) vary cheerfully like they had fun.
Jenny- 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.
Ralph- Jack was way out of line when he said that, he was vary BUN. When he said pig he really meant the littlun. When he said that I was looking at his face and it had no IMPERVIOUS.
Jenny- What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)
Answer- Well the boys don’t really no that the beast is a human from a plane. Everybody always has to agreed SAGELY.
Jenny- Why do you think that Jack doesn’t like the littlun’s ? What does this foreshadow?
Ralph- Well Jack doesn’t like the littlun’s because they don’t do there work. They’re always playing games like RUGGER. I think that we are going to end up going into groups even though I would love for us to stay together because I could make sure that people are ok. This isn’t like are MOORS back home.

We are going to interviewing Jack....
Jenny- What sign comes down from the grown up world?
Book- The thing ends up being a human coming down from a plane. The body came down because it’s world war 2
Jenny- Why aren’t the boys aware of it?
Jack- The boys aren’t aware of the body because Sam and Eric thought it was a beast.
Jenny- Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?
Jack- Sam and Eric are so terrified because they think that there’s a beast out in the forest. People also think they’re a LEVIATHAN.
Jenny- How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?
Jack- It had wings, claws, fangs, it was also WAXY.
Jenny- What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
Jack- When Ralph and I herd there was a beast I wanted to go kill it right away, but Ralph just had to go against me again. Ralph wanted to make a game plan, like that would help us kill the beast.
Jenny- Is there really a beast? How do you know?
Jack- Well I think its still out there even if it wasn’t living in the rocks with GUANO on it.
Jenny- Why do you really not care about being rescued?
Jack- I care about being rescued but it’s one thing that’s not on my mind right now. I could do anything here, I could be FLAILING something and no one would care. I’m EMBROILED here, it’s like a dream come true to me.

We are going to interviewing Simon
Jenny- why is an assembly called?
Simon- Well the assembly was called because know one was doing there jobs. Also Ralph was really mad at Jack for taking people away from doing their jobs to help him hunt. Jack just thinks that Ralph is being ludicrous.
Jenny- what concerns are brought up?
Simon- Well something’s that the littluns aren’t doing anymore is going to the bathroom in the right spot.
Jenny- how do you feel about those concerns?
Simon- I really think it’s not necessary for people to do that because it’s getting all over are food. Also think that the lost there decorum
throughout the days we’ve been on this island.
Jenny- how are things breaking up (falling apart)?
Simon- well I think when it really got bad was when jack took the two boys that were supposed to be watching the fire to go hunting with him. When a ship came there was no fire so the ship couldn’t see us, now Ralph is really mad at Jack for doing that. Also Jack got really jealous when we choose Ralph to be the chef, we just thought he would be a good effigy.
Jenny-Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep?
Simon- when we had are assembly one littlun was telling us how there’s a beast that comes out of the water and it could walk on land.
Jenny- what do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?
Simon- I think the dirtiest thing is jealousy. Jealousy could do bad things to a person. For example Jack is jealous of piggy I no this for a fact because he always looks at Piggy jeeringly and hates it when people are on Piggy’s side. He’s incantation of is words were powerful.

Jenny: So Piggy what things are you having trouble adjusting to on the island that is different from your life at home in England?
Piggy: Well Jenny it’s way different than home because my aunty would be here all the time feeding me and giving me food. She would also be making sure I’m safe and healthy. She would make sure the water I swam in wouldn’t have GOUTS in it.
Jenny: How do you feel about the littluns?
Piggy: I don’t really mind the littluns that much, it’s Ralph and Jack mostly don’t like. They are always sitting around.
Jenny: What do they do with their time?
Piggy: The littluns mostly just play around and bathe in the water. That’s also what I do too.
Jenny: Why doesn’t the passing ship see you on the island?
Piggy: Well first of all we didn’t have any fire because it was Jacks job to watch the fire, but instead he went hunting. When the ship went past the island it didn’t see anything. Everyone got really mad at Jack including me, but when I yelled at him he punched me. Then after that I kept looking at him MALEVOLENTLY. It’s almost like he’s IMPALPABL. That whole night he was very BELLIGERENCE to me.
Jenny: What do you predict will happen next on this island?
Piggy: I really don’t know but I hope that Jack would stop putting on that clay mask, his skin is so SWARTHINE, it’s kind of scaring me.

I woke up thinking that today would be a really good day. I thought that all of the kids would help with the hunting and the building of the shelter. Instead they all went off and played in the water. I ended up doing all of the building of the houses and Jack and Simon did the hunting. Jack and Simon came back from their hunt with nothing to show for but their bare hands and were very contrite. All Jack could think of was the pig that got away. He was rapt about catching the pig. I told him not to worry about the pig because we need to finish the shelter. He just kept on making a soft susurration to himself. I turned around to see what the others were doing and saw Piggy laying on the ground. He was starring at his reflection in the water. The others were bathing and playing in the water.
Jack and I were talking about if we blew the shell it would get the kids attention and they would come over to us. We knew if they did come over they would not be able to resist the compulsion to play and would only work for a little while. We felt like it wasn’t worth the vicissitudes to get them to work.

Today was a really bad day. Everyone was fighting and it was really hectic, it felt like I was martyring. No one is really sure if this is a good island or a bad island. I personally think that this island is just like any other island. It has some animals, but I would probably kill all of them. This beastie snake thing is nothing to be scared of, this little boy is just having a bad dream. If there were a snake or beastie then I would have seen it with my own two eyes.
Piggy was being so stupid today and I don’t like it. He thinks he could just tell everyone what to do and he acts like the oldest one here, but he’s not. For example when we started the fire everyone was capering but piggy. He sounded like a broken record, saying this isn’t going to work. Piggy was saying something about how we were being so errant, but I don’t think we were. We had a plan, so we went and did it.
Ralph keeps on saying that his dad is going to come and find us, but I don’t see him yet. I would like him to show up now. I can’t stand Piggy anymore he is driving me crazy. I tell him to shut up, but he never does and people always take his side. For example when Piggy was holding the shell I told him to shut up, then Ralph quickly told me to shut up. Then Piggy got to induce holding the shell.
Each night I go to bed wondering if I will be able to kill a pig the next day just to show people that I can do it. The first time was a practice, I didn’t know what I was doing so I froze. The next time I will catch it and if I don’t then shame on me. Well I have to go to bed, if I don’t then I won’t have any ebullience in me so good night.
