Entry 4:
I am now righting this on a naval cruiser at sea going home. Couple of days before we left I was comforted
by Piggy after what had happened to Simon.
Later that night the four of us, Piggy, Samneric, and I, were sleeping
and Piggy and I heard something outside the shelter. Less then a minute later there was a struggle
throughout the shelter and I used the Taekwondo that I learned back at home. That night Jack and two hunters stole Piggy’s
glasses, so the next day we went to get them back from Jack which just made
matters worse. Piggy got killed and
Samneric were captured. That night I
talked to the twins and they told me that the tribe was going to hunt me. I have had a person tell me that but that was
when I would play outside when I was with my friends. So the day I hid in the thicket near Castle
Rock thinking they wouldn’t find me close by.
Jack and Roger found out though so they tried to push me out which
happened after a while and then I ran through the forest. After a while of running, I noticed that they
had set the island on fire, which was also when they spotted me and chased
me. When we got to the lagoon there was
a naval officer standing there and said he will take us off the island. I haven’t been that happy since my mom and
dad started to talk to one another again and get along a bit. So now I am on my home on a naval
cruiser. Here is a picture, after we
landed, of the boat I took with my iPhone, I know what you are thinking we
could have called for help, but I had no service.

Entry 3: The meeting didn’t go so well. Trying to talk to all these boys to set some ground rules is like talking to a wall, a dog would listen better. When it came to the subject of the beastie everyone was listening. One of the littluns that saw the beastie said it ran through the woods which happened to be Simon. Another said that it came out of the water, which to me made it even weirder. Later that night I was awaked by Sam and Eric, like the time my dad woke me up for school after he found out that it was really late, to tell me that they saw the beast up by the fire. So after that Jack said that he was going to go and hunt for it on the other side of the island where it may live.
After
getting there we saw nothing. So then
for the first time I went hunting with Jack and the hunters. Then I was so excited because I hit a boar
right on the snout. After that we played
around a little bit with Robert as a pig and the hunters going around him as to
kill him. Robert only fell on his
bum. Then on the way back Simon went to
go and tell Piggy that we were going to the mountain. Once we got to the mountain only Jack, Roger,
and I were the only ones climbing after I said, “Who would like to climb to see
the beast,” then they all ran like they had saw a ghost. Inside I was laughing at that. Part way up Roger and I stopped for a second
and Jack went on later coming back looking like the other boys that ran away
saying he saw it. So Roger and I climbed
to take a look at this beast and when I saw it I was as scared as I was at the
top of the Eifel Tower, maybe even worse.
We ran back to camp and Jack called a meeting. He talked about hunting it down and killing
it. He also inferred that I insulted his
hunters by saying they weren’t brave, which they wouldn’t be, and then he
called for a vote so he could be the chief not me. When he lost him and his hunters went into
the forest and I yelled for him not to go.
Now I know how my dad felt when my mom packed up the car and left
forever. I really didn’t want him to
go. So after a while all we had at camp
was a few biguns and all the littluns. Piggy
suggested that we build a fire on the beach seeming that the beast is at the
top of the mountain. So we did.
Over
the time of collecting wood every bigun left except me, Piggy, Sam, and
Eric. Then out of the blue Jack and two
of the hunter came out of nowhere and stole some fire and said if we wanted,
they were having a feast over at his camp.
Piggy and I kept the fire going, but everyone else had gone to the feast
but us. So we decided to go and when we
got there, we were handed meat. Jack
asked who was going to join him, which made me madder than I was when kids in
my group for a school project had me do almost all of the work. Then they acted out how they killed it and
just when they were about to act out the killing, Simon ran out of the forest
yelling about a dead body right into the circle and was killed. I can’t right anymore right now…………….

Entry
2- Today Jack and I went hunting and while
hunting we crouched on all fours like a dog.
I have never been on all four like this since I was playing with my
older brother when I was four years old.
After getting back we saw Simon, alone, building huts, which really set
my trigger.
Jack
only wanted some water and to go start hunting again. Simon than said that he was the only person
making the huts and everyone one else was playing around. This really got me really, really made. Then I started to fight with Jack and I never
fought like that since my best friend at school was being picked on by the new
kid at school. After our fight we
noticed that Simon was no longer there so we ran to cool off in the water. Later that day someone notice that there was
some smoke out on the ocean so Piggy, Simon, Maurice, and I went to find out
how the fire is and then found that it went out so I yelled out as loud as I
could for the ship to come back. Then
Jack and the hunters came by holding a pig on a branch. Since Jack said that he would watch the fire
and keep it going and he didn’t so I got really mad. Also wouldn’t you know that all he could talk
about was the pig he killed. Jack also
got mad at Piggy for saying things that he said and smacked Piggy braking one
lens of his specs. So Jack said that he
was sorry for what he did and we cooked the pig, but Jack didn’t give Piggy any
starting another argument. By then I have
had enough so I called another assembly, so now I will see how this meeting
will go.
