1. Piggy tells Ralph to blow the conch.
2. Piggy wants his glasses because he said he's blind, and that they need it to make a fire for a ship.
3. Ralph wants his tribe to clean and professional looking when they see Jack.
4. Roger challenges them on their approach to castle rock.
5. Jack has been hunting
6. Ralph calls Jack a bloody selfish leader (i think)
7. Samneric decide to change tribes
8. He pushed a rock on him

9. I think that Roger is obviously responsible for his death, but when i really think of it, the whole group is responsible for his death too.
I think this because well Roger "put all his weight on the rock". He didn't forget that piggy was under him, and he probably was not relaxed at this time, so he did it on purpose. I think the group because they always treated piggy badly. For example, when they broke his glasses, that was not Piggy's fault, it was the groups' and how all the time, he never got to talk. If they would of treated him like he should of been treated, like a normal SMART useful person, then the glasses probably wouldn't have been taken.
I think this because Piggy is smart, and if only the group treated him better, Piggy would probably gain confidence to fight back when Jack took his glasses, or when the big rock came down, or even to help Ralph defend his side in the fight.
So you see if only Piggy was treated with respect by the group, he would most likley have his glasses, and then he could see, so he wouldnt even be in the path of the big rock.

1. In Simon's secret place, the flies prefer the pigs blood.
2. After Simon's seizure, simon goes up to the mountain to see what the beast is.
3. When simon gets up to the mountain and sees the aviator he untangles his parachute.
4. Piggy said to Ralph that they (Ralph and Piggy) go to the party.
5. They were excepted at the party because piggy bumped himself and everyone laughed.
6. He suggests that he get rid of the conch because they wouldn't need it in Jacks tribe.
7. It starts raining towards the end of the party
8. They sang, "Kill the beast, cut his throat, spill his blood"
9. Simon comes crawling from the jungle with news that the beast is only a dead man.
10. I think that simon is responsible for his own death. Because the Lord of the Flies, or his conscious told him that if he went and tried to tell everyone, something bad would happen to him. But i think that everyone is responsible for Simon's death too. Because they all went out of control and started stabbing simon. Then when simon started trying to tell them that the beast wasn't real, that it was just a dead body, they didn't listen, and they obviously heard his voice. I think that its their fault for getting out of control, and seeing him and starting to stab, bite, scratch, and well, kill him. But its also Simon's fault for not listening to himself, of his conscious.

I think that the most terrifying part in this chapter is the scene where jack makes the pigs head as a idol, "Lord of the Flies"
After Jack ran away with his hunters, him and his hunters go to look for a pig. They go into the forest and track down the smell of its droppings, and then Jack and his hunters see a female pig, the biggest pig that they've seen on the island. They get closer, and there's little piglets feeding off of her, in Simon's secret area in the forest, and Simon is there too. Then Jack and his hunters sneak up on her and Jack throws a spear at her stomach. It didn't effect her or her babies at all, so then someone else throws one, and that didn't effect her ether. With anger, Jack runs to her and the pig jumps up, and starts running around with two spears in her stomach. Then Jack jumps on her, and is stabbing her with another spear. Then the pig dies because of Jack stabbing her. Then after a brief minute or two the hunters gather around and start gutting her, singing,
"Kill the pig, Cut her throght, Spill her blood"
The hunters start cutting off her meet, and taking out her guts, and putting all the organs in a pile on a rock, that starts attracting a mob of flies. After that, Jack cuts her head off and puts her head on his spear, and names it "the Lord of the Flies" because the flies that were on the organs on the rock, now went to the pigs head.

Then Simon's little happy area is full of blood, organs and the Lord of the Flies
I think that this was the most gross part because it is really descriptive about how they gutted the pig, and how they stabbed her. This part also shows how wild, and out of order everyone in the hunter group got after Jack left and they were on there own, without rules. Also I think that if their tribe keeps going without rules, his tribe will overpower Ralph's and the island will loose all hope of being rescued. And they will all die.

CHAPTER 6: BEAST FROM AIR

"Theres a beastie!"

PIGGY


Dear journal:

Today something strange apperaed on the island. I think its the beastie, but I'm not sure. Sam 'n Eric saw it in the middle of the night and came down to wake us up. They came to us and woke Ralph up first. Then Ralph woke the rest or us up, so we would have a meeting about it.
In the meeting, they said they were sitting there about to fall asleep, and then one of them saw a figure, and they saw its head nod at them, and its eyes. They said it was sitting and that when they tried to run from it, it chased them, and that it had claws and almost got one of them. They were panting hard and they were very scared. I think they were scared because the beastie almost got them, and they way they described it, the beastie is really scary, and I would NOT want to come face to face with it like they did.
Before this, Jack broke one of my glasses, and I've had them for as long as I can remember. Now I only have one speck that I can see out of. Hence, one eye. I don't like Jack, he's just causing trouble on our island. Its rude, and not called for. Jack and Ralph got in a fight and I was there, and then one of my specks' pieces broke. I cant see out of that eye now.

Chapter seven; Shadows and Tall Trees

"Were falling apart"

Ralph


Dear Journal:

Today was odd, and frustrating. I didnt like how Jack tried to make me look bad today. I noticed today that my hair is longer, and more untangled. I think i am becoming more savage, turning into the hunters. I wish i could just cut it off, and i wish i was at home again. I miss eating with my family and being in my warm bed.
Today while I was hunting I almost got a boar. After I missed we all made a circle around Robert. Then we started moving in on him. We were pretending he was a pig. I took my spear and poked him as a joke but then I really hurt him. I still wanted more. Jack went over to him and pulled his hair. He was really in pain. Then when we were done we thought of an idea. We could do this as a game. Dress someone up as a pig and make a circle like what we did to Robert. We couldn't think of anyone to pick, then Jack said "Let's just use a littlun." Surprisingly I laughed. This foreshadows that maybe a littlun might get hurt or even killed.
After awhile Roger,Jack and I decided to go up where the twins saw the beastie. When we got to the top of the mountain, we walked threw piles of ashes from the burnt out fire. Then we saw it. An object with its head between its legs. I could not tell what it was from a distance. Then, a gust of wind hit the mountain, making the object bob upward relveing a beat up mauled face. All of us ran down the mountain in horror.

Dear journal,

We had our first assembly at night that was called a meeting, Ralph brought up that we need to be more civilized. He said we have to stop shorting where ever we want, or for the littluns, by the fruit. He also got mad about the fire not being attended and about how nobody is helping him, for example, not helping build the shelters. Then he went into the subject about the beastie, first he was saying how there was no beastie, then he said there might be one, and his effigy that there is no beastie is very iffy. I don't like these new rules, or concerns. Just because he was elected the chief of the island, he cant make all these rules, and just pound them on us. Its totally uncalled for and its too many rules. I wish he would just have fun here and help me kill pigs like he said in the beginning. I don't think things are breaking up on this island. He does and so does piggy, but there not, everyones just trying to have fun but they're ruining it. Every night the littluns cry when they are sleeping. Maybe its tempestuously. I'm not sure about what they're all crying about but I'm sure it has something to do with they moms not being here and the supposably "beastie" thats on the island. My hunters and I have searched all over the island, and there is no beastie. Percival Wemys Madison is afraid of the beastie, and what it is or could be. Its only someone just walking around at night, being really discursive, I think everyone is afraid of the "beastie" but honestly, there's not one. He seemed really scared, not like I care though, but he was talking like he was going to faint, like simon does. Everyone is acting like we humans are bad, we aren't, were smart we know how to kill pigs and get our own meet and survive on a island by ourselves. I hate how Ralph just acts like he can make up all these rules, and we follow them, just like that. He doesn't understand that we have to earn his trust, not just like that we can trust him. I think that I'm more fit to be chief not him. I'm organized, nice and I have a lot of decorum, he just makes us do things and accuses us of not working when we do, and he works just as little as we do, his way of being chief is very ludicrous. Maybe he should step back and see what he's doing wrong before he gets mad at us.

Lord of the flies


Lord of the flies
Painted faces and long hair
I killed a pig!
Jack

Dear journal,
I love it here. I'm getting a swarty color now from being in the sun a lot. I love being able to be free, without rules and being yelled at from adults because I'm being bad. Sometimes though I miss the bread and my bed, which are things that we don't have here on the island. There's littluns on the island, all they do all day is play around, sleep and eat. One littlun stays in his hut all day, and sometimes we hear his laughter and sometimes we hear him cry. I don't like how the littluns are so gullible, but then I love it. When ever ralph says something they all believe him, but I know how to make them like me again. Me and my choir painted out faces to blend into the forest and to be able to catch a pig, our food for now, so we don't have to eat fruit all day. I think that this foreshadows that were improving, and starting to use our minds, instead of acting crazy all the time. When i first painted my face I felt new, like a new person, and I felt strong and fierce, like i could kill that pig and all by myself. Ralph said that there was a ship, and we missed it because me and my hunters were out killing a pig, I hate how he just jumped on me and we had a pig, HIS FOOD and he was so un-appreciative, so impalpable, when we showed up, we just got food for him and he was totally rude about it, here I am, holding a big fat juicy pic, gouts of blood, and juice dripping down and all he worries about is ship, ship, ship. And how we could of been rescued, I dont want to be rescued, I love it here, so I'm glad that we weren't able to keep the fire up and going to signal the ship. Ralph was really mad, but for some reason I don't care. Me and my hunters were singing "kill the pig, cut her" when we came up the mountain with our food. All of a sudden it just came out of nowhere, the want to kill. it felt so good, and the pig fell on the twins that made all of us laugh. I would defiantly want to kill another pig sometime.
Well I have to go now, and watch the fire so it doesn't go out, because another ship might come. I wont let it go out..
for now..
