Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters
“End of all crazy events”
Perspective:Piggy

Dear Journal

The place Ralph hides in is in those thick bushes to stay safe from Jack's Tribe because the tribe was dropping giant rocks to scare Ralph out of the thick bushes. Jack and the other boys were chasing Ralph and they were cordon. Sam gave Ralph meat because he didn't want Ralph to starve. When Ralph got the meat from Sam he was distended. Samneric join Jack's tribe because they had no choice because Jack would probably kill they like a diddle. Roger had a stick with both sides sharpened like what happened to the Pig. Jack's tribe burns the island so Ralph runs form his hiding spot. This make all the boys run away from the island. What a bunch of immature little kids. When my good friend Ralph runs to the beach he discovers a Naval Officer. That mean Jack appears like a hobo on the beach. His cloths are all mess up and ugly. The boy who cannot remember his name is Percival Wymes Madison. Ralph takes the responsibility for what happened on the island and Jack doesn't care because he doesn't want to be in trouble. The nice Naval Officer is disappointed at all the boys because they are all messed up and all ugly to be part of the British. Also the Naval Officer was mad at the boys for burning the island and when they saw the clothes of the kids they were freaked out because there were these kids on this island that had no clothes.

Blog Post chapter 8 and 9

How dare Jack Merridew kill the pig just for a gift to the beast? Why did Jack have to leave the tribe and start off fresh from the start? To me Jack was just being stubborn and did not care about the other members of the tribe. After Simon ran to Ralph saying the beast talked to him. Also, when Simon said all of the details and said they circled around it. Then they speared the pig in the butt. Then finally got sticks that were really sharp and just cut off the pigs head. I still can not believe Jack would do something like that. The reason Jack did this was because he though if he and his tribe gave the beast a gift that it would leave his tribe alone. If Jack stayed with Ralph’s group then none of this wouldn’t happen. Well maybe if Jack stayed the whole tribe could have started a new election for chief, but Jack is gone. The final things are the pig turned out to be Lord of the Flies and Jack is new chief of the other tribe of boys.

Part 2
Jack Merridew is the one who killed Simon because he thought Simon was the beast in disguise. My evidence is when Jack and the boys were saying Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood. Another evidence was like I said earlier was when Jack said to the littluns and biguns that Simon was the beast in disguise. Well to me Jack and his tribe didn’t know when this random thing just comes running right out of the forests and so they had to protect themselves by killing it. When they said the kill the beast chant something always happens. The last piece of evidence is when Jack says “Simon could be the beast in disguise” that just shocked me because he knew that it was Simon and he still killed him. That says Jack doesn’t care if anything happens to some now because he killed one of his boys. This is why Jack killed Simon.

Chapter 7: Shadows and Tall Trees
"Hunt for the Beastie"
Perspectives:Ralph


EVERYBODY ANSWER
• What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.
The boys were being Windy. The boys were playing a game were Robert was the pig and the other boys were being laughing sagely. The person who speared the pig was me. So I and the boys were being bravado.

• 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. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?
Jack says a littlun should be a substitute for a little pig. Also, Jack says this because he doesn’t even care about the littluns. He doesn’t talk to them with Impervious.This foreshadows that more people will die and we might encounter the beastie.

• What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)
The evidence we found were the beastie was just a dead Aviator when Sam n Eric were really bravado. They said it had sharp claws and had wings.



IF YOU ARE RALPH
What did you daydream about home?
The daydream was about me back at my house thinking about my hair, hands, mouth, and more. On the island my mouth is weird and I can’t brush my teeth. My hair is really messy when I got on the island it was good. My hand or nail are really grouse because I can’t cut my nails and wash my hand good.

Blog post #6

• What sign comes down from the grown up world?

There was an explosion from the sky, a plane shot down from World War II. There was a dead or unconscious pilot from the sky.

• Why aren’t the boys aware of it?

• Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?

Because of the beastie, and how everybody is going to kill it or somewhat. It can be from the water basically, or the sky.

• How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?


• What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?

There is some agreeing and some disagreeing, Jack is telling the people to charge at the beast with spears and don't think about anything else. Ralph is telling people to think of a game plan, do the job smart, and protect the littluns.

• Is there really a beast? How do you know?

The isn't a beast, the littluns think there is something out there. Though, they overreact and start imagining things when they hear a single sound.

IF YOU ARE RALPH

Do you feel that you are still the strongest leader on this island?

Because I have the conch, and I was chosen to be leader. If people chose me, then I am what I am.

What kind of pressures and stress do you feel as the leader responsible for the boys?

It's a lot of stress, handling the littuns and everybody here. Especially when everybody doesn't follow the rules when everything could have been much better for all of us. I feel responsible, that's why I called the assembly.

Chapter 5, Lord of the flies

EVERYBODY ANSWER-

Why is an assembly called?
Nobody was following the rules, Ralph was really upset.

What concerns are brought up?
Jack did not follow his job keeping the fire, the people were using restrooms outside the hut, and nobody helped build the shelter. It was ludicrous.

How do you feel about those concerns?
They would actually make me a bit angry also, people disobeying the rules. If you had a chance to be rescued and somebody ruins it by disobeying it, with other people disobeying your rules also, it's irritating.

How are things breaking up (falling apart)?
Jack thinks he can do whatever he wants, so he storms off in the assembly with people that look up to him. So that splits almost everybody with people fighting with each other, such as Jack beating up Piggy.

Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep?
The beastie. Many reports of the beastie chasing the people, and nightmares about it.

What was Percival Wemys Madison afraid of?
The beastie, he was terrified when he saw it, some kind of shape as a giant snake.

What do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?
There are various dirty things about human nature, but if you want my opinion. It's people fighting each other for no apparent reason and could get it over with and get something else done.

IF YOU ARE JACK

1. I hate Ralph because he thinks he controls every single one of us, I can speak whenever I want and do anything whenever I want. He's not the boss, I am.
