Chapter 12: “Cry of the Hunters”

My title “Hide or Die”

Perspective: Ralph

Dear Diary,

It has been a crazy life and I sure will remember this until I die. I can still have dreams about what happened I can feel the open dripping blood coming out my rib when I sleep. Every time I sleep I remember the day the hunters had their dark side take over them. The ululation still goes around my head as I remember how I was really close to dying. Oh I wish I could have confronted Jack its almost my fault Simon and Piggy have died. I could have confronted Jack and none of these riots or deaths would have happened. The diddle moves by Jack always caused us trouble making us betray each other as he made our whole group break up and go our on ways and make two separate tribes. The distended pain I had in my body had me going crazy but I didn't turn all evil as I stayed the same and I was myself not trying to show off. If I would have only confronted Jack face to face things would have been better. We would be working as a complete tribe helping each other out. As I confronted the Naval officer it was like confronting a brick wall as it stood tall ready to attack. During the last hours on the island I thought this would be the end of me as I had to think on my toes with cuts and blood dripping it was hide or die as I couldn't have anything else to save unless a miracle. So my miracle was the naval office with his epaulettes shinning on my face it felt like a god shining on me. I felt like giving up like before how I gave up my chances to trying to confront Jack but this time I had to go until I had nothing in me.

Chapter 10 blog post

Dear Diary,

I cannot believe that Piggy and Ralph do care about me. Because if they would not be talking about my death they would not really have had cared about me. I am glad I joined Ralph’s side but unfortunately, I can do nothing now since I am dead. I know that they should have had a feeling about what could have happened why they could not just distract or talk with Jack for another minute I could have been alive. They never showed that they cared about me but it ends up they do, Jack really just uses people, and I feel like Jack used me.

I am glad that I left Jack and his people because that probably could have been me being tied, up, and beat up by Jack, instead of Wilfred. He could have killed him he just tortures the littleuns and sometimes the biguns to get what he wants. Without anyone in his tribe he would be powerless people are just joining him because he shows toughness when he is not tough. I wish I could just go down to where Jack is and sneak up on him and give him some of our paint that we get from him. I cannot believe him though I was the beast in disguise. I say he is the beast in disguise his evil mind shows that he is like a beast that scares people and gets people to be scared and follow his commands. Just because I may seem weird does not mean that I am the beast.

I say that Jack is just using Maurice and Roger. He can make them do what ever he says and still get away with it because he is their chief. I just do not understand why Ralph is not trying to fight back, can’t he see what they did to me. However, it is also Ralph who is peace and love and Jack who is war and breaking hearts. Roger killed Piggy with that trap he is mainly brainwashed by Jack turning all evil, turning against each other, and not realizing who actually helps him.

As I was hovering over the night watching my friends Ralph and Piggy, I knew Jack was up to something and as I seem him attack them and brutally beat them up and take Piggy’s specs away I could not imagine if I was still alive how things would have turned out. Now Ralph is mainly useless to survive with Piggy specs and he does not really have anyone in his tribe. I probably would have hid somewhere on the island where Jack cannot find me or else I would have to join him. Now the mood has changed worse into a war mood since I died as everyone is starting to go crazy and fighting against each forming their own alliances. The fact that they killed is really dumb because they let their dark side take over them and they were being controlled by Jack who could have stopped them.

Chapter 8 & 9 Blog Post

Lord of the Flies Paragraphs

The scene that caught my attention and mainly was building the climax higher for me and making the book more intense was the part where the Lord of the Flies talks with Simon. This part was very interesting as the Lord of the Flies was telling Simon that they thought they could kill the beastie and hunt it and as it ends up saying its inside everyone especially Simon. What it meant that it is inside everyone that everyone was going to their dark side fighting with each other just to hunt or kill one thing that did not really prove strength or leadership. Since everyone mainly fought against each just to kill the so-called “Beastie”, they end up splitting up and forming to new tribes. It also showed that everyone has his or her dark side and a good side inside of them. As the Lord of the Flies threatens Simon about things, it also tells him to go warn that Jack was going to attack. That clue I thought to myself that it was a dark and rainy night and darkness is mainly evil and sometimes death and a dead thing talking made it seem something or someone was going to die. I believe that William Golding had a good idea using a dead animal to show that with destruction and violence it will not move you forward to any good things it would make things worse. In Chapter 9 since Simon goes back to the tribe to try to tell them what was, going to happen what ends up happening is that Simon dies and that was a warning for Simon to be careful.

Simon’s Death

I say that Jack is responsible for the death of Simon. A quote that supports my claim is where Jack leads his tribe into saying their little chant, which is “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood”. As you can see there, he is the one leading his tribe into attacking and without thinking they just let their dark emotions take over and attack Simon who they thought was the beastie and killed him. I say that it was Jacks fault for killing Simon as if they would have stopped and waited for a little bit more, they would not have killed Simon but since they were thirsty for blood and all, excited they went all out on Simon without thinking. Therefore, it shows that the dark side within people is another person inside you who you cannot control. Now think about this if you were hungry and ready to attack anything near you would you think when all your emotions are running wild you probably would not and that is what happened. Because Jack was the one leading his group to attack, he could have stopped them since he is the chief of his tribe.

Chapter 7: Shadows and Tall Trees
“Why Me?”

Perspective: Piggy

Today was not a dun day I had to take care of all the kids and watch every move all you heard was cheering and cheering and it was crazy. Since the sagely Ralph left me I think it would be a good thing because he would be able to like recognize that I can be a mature and smart adult than what happened last time when I was with the children. The impervious Simon seems like he is up to something he doesn’t really communicate as much he just says something than walks away. He’s very suspicious I need to know what he’s up to because at night they said he was walking around at night. The brine shell is a symbol for us as it brings us back together. As when there is a meeting we come back to update on things but the past couple of meetings we have been having don't look that great. I see Jack starting to change a little bit as it impresses me but why does he have to be such a um I don’t know a bully I guess he has nothing better to do but just boss us around and go his own way. The war between us feels like rugger as we are like getting each other back by saying stuff and fighting over some stupid stuff, I just want to settle this and end up living in the end. As everyday minute of the day starts to change the mood changes as some people go to scared, to happy, happy to scared. Since our last meeting I need a sign from Jack, Ralph, and Simon to know when they are coming back because I don't want to be alone out here forever. I keep thinking that they won't come back or that the beastie might come. Now that it is dark I haven’t got a word from Ralph like when they are coming back I’m scared because they say the beastie is out there and it’s me and the littleuns that’s it and against a beast. I need some food I am starving a lot I don’t know if I can last any longer. It’s getting cold and we need more huts and like something to cover us up I just can’t talk anymore it’s cold, windy, and really getting on my nerves as I'am scared. I just need to rest, see how tommorrow ends up and what they really find. Good night.

What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.

They start poking Robert the back end of the spears. They chant their little killing chant. Ralph spears the pig I was impressed. Everyone was crazy and pumped up for blood like sharks.

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?

They use a littleun and they poke him with the back end of the spears it was crazy I felt pumped up and ready to go hunt. I think a littleun may be killed or lost its very scary.

What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)

They saw the aviator, which is not really the best, and they are so young their imaginations are very wild and creative.

I feel much pumped up to go hunt already I just feel like running out right now and kill anything I can see to get the feel. However, I felt scared because one of us can just go on a rampage and kill someone.

Blog Post 6

• What sign comes down from the grown up world? The aviator comes flying down from his parachute. We are sure that he is dead. But were not completely sure.
  


• Why aren’t the boys aware of it? Because we are more focused more on hunting and staying alive and I really know whats happening.
  


• Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified? Because they saw the beast which I don't believe that they actually saw.
  
• How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast? It has Wings, Claws and sharp teeth but they are very young so they don't know much about it. Their imagination is wild.
  


• What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast? I' am terrified because I don't know if we should go hunt the beast but if we do a lot of pros n cons we would have. The littuns will stop whining about it but its a big risk because we don't know how big the beastie is.
  
• Is there really a beast? How do you know? Well from what we heard from Sam n Eric
  that there is but I don't really believe because its near our fire and I'm really scared right now.
  

  Do you feel that you are still the strongest leader on this island? No I feel that Jack is taking over my authority which I don't like what he is doing. But ill fight until I win my authority.
  

  What kind of pressures and stress do you feel as the leader responsible for the boys? I have to supply them with food and make sure they don't run away I'm like the father of twenty children its really hard. I can barely sleep because I have to think of new ideas for rules and help.
  

  
  Do you like being a leader? Not really as it stresses me out a lot and I have to act like an adult and I'm not ready to grow up.
• In Chapter 5, Ralph cries, “If only they could get a message to us…if only they could send us something grown up….a sign or something,” (Golding, 83). That the aviator comes from the sky to give us a sign that a war or an event is happening to us and I' am really scared. I have to go hunt and see what it really is what they say it is.
  

Dear Diary,

I'm the chief of this island there's really a lot of consequences and pros and cons about hunting the beastie and also like making new rules because I really don't want to lose Jack because he has the weapons to hunt and I don't. The only we can stay together if I give up leadership but that would really be dumb of me because I'l be selfish so right now I'm really confused. My opinion of hunting the beastie I'm diffidently scared and don't know what to do or say right now. Mutinously I'm waxy about how Jack is being a little bossy and not respecting my authority of being chief. I'm embroiled with Jacks and Piggy's conflict and I just want to split there's many things that could happen if I give up my position in chief. Now I really want to come back home but I wonder what my family is thinking about right now. If they miss me or they don't care about but my big question is if they are alive. I know Piggy's life has been rough because of the name calling they do to him, and he is an orphan I can't imagine living without my actual parents there. I think I may need to call another meeting about the beastie to get everyone straight about what our next next plan is to do we already know everyone is mainly scared except Jack but I dont believe him. Now that we know that Sam n Eric have found the supposively called "Beastie" we have to check if it is actually the beast. I don't want to get into any other fights I have had enough already with Jack but if he wants to hunt it, its up to him because since he wants to leave and not respect my authority of being cheif I don't care. Its really hard being with him because there's alot of things we can get from him like hunting help but sometimes hes just disobidient. My main thing is getting that Levithian rumor about that beastie over with.

Chapter 5: Beast from Water
“Don’t hate, appreciate”
Perspective: Jack

Dear Diary,

How LUDICROUS is this island with us fighting now figuring out what to do next. Someone has to step up more and add more rules we only have three now. Which are, you can only have a fire on top of the mountain, only speak if the conch is held in a meeting, and no pooping in the huts. If I were Chief I would make this place in order, achieve things quicker, and make the littleuns mature. All the littleuns do is LAMENTATION during the night and can’t do anything but weep. I say hunting much more important than hunting I deserve respect around here who got food them, I did, who is going to keep them living to eat I will. All Ralph does is whine about the huts and how we need them. Now that Ralph is reasserting him self and getting, back on track, he is now going to be stricter and I want to get more respect I have to get Piggy out of the picture. I know it is mainly my fault that I didn’t take care of the fire how about the littleuns Ralph doesn’t command them as much. Now that Piggy has the brains I know he is going to impress Ralph by making a sundial that would help us. The meat would have had a DECORUM taste if the fire were there. All Piggy has been doing is RAMBLING nobody likes him here except his two little friends. In addition, I think we need to split up into two groups and separate from each other to work our ways. The bad thing about it is that who would want to go with who but we all the littleuns and biguns would want to come with me because I can feed them. Everybody likes me except Piggy little groups needs me so they won’t stand a chance they really need me to survive. The EFFIGY of Piggy explanation about his ideas are annoying I don’t know how we would work together. I have to start working for my own meat I don’t think anyone else deserves it, what Piggy did to help me hunt, what Simon did nothing at all to help me hunt. I hated the meeting today I couldn't take it I just had to split up and leave. Now its war I can't take it no more living by his dumb rules I need my rules and my ideas to help me live.
Why is an assembly called?
To get everyone together and get things back on track and to know whats going to start happening. Also new rules are brought up. We can't make fires only on mountains. No pooping near huts. But we need more consequences.
What concerns are brought up?
That the littleuns are pooping in the huts and that the fruit is rottening and that we arent working together.
How do you feel about those concerns?
I say I should be leader and not Ralph hes taking it easy on the Littleuns I'd get this place straight and going foward and make everyone mature.
How are things breaking up (falling apart)?
I say hunting is more important than building huts. If we can't work together we should split up we all know everyone will go with me. I serve food for everyone I can keep them living.
Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep?
They cry because they are scared of the "beastie" which they shouldn't because they have to mature and be adults now.
What was Percival Wemys Madison afraid of?
The Beast from the water. That he knows where he thinks it comes from.
What do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?
Pooping on food and being all sloppy living and killing our enviroment. Also that were judgemental and were really selfish and self minded and work independently.
1. I hate Ralph he wants things his way he barely takes ideas. He didn't get mad at Piggy for what he did I say we need to split.

“Help me Jesus”
Perspective: Simon
Dear Diary,
Help me please it has been a BLATANT day everybody splitting up to their own groups trying to be the best. The BELLIGERENCE Jack wont get the fact that he is not the leader here he has to realize he just controls the hunting group what does he want from Piggy what has Piggy don’t to him. Why does he have to yell at me today just because I gave Piggy meat c’mon I say that we are going split up. That we will soon have our own territories and if we cross the line, it is going to be life or death. What happened to when we first met? Why does Jack hate Piggy so much, just because he is fat or is Jack jealous that Piggy is smarter and more observant and helps us live more? The SWARTHINESS of my warrior look might help me hunt for myself and I will not have to worry about anyone else besides people that would help. The GOUTS of the pig’s blood of what Jack was talking about seemed like he just wanted attention and if no one gives him attention he would not survive here. However, he seems serious as if if you betray him he will give you a big consequence in return to make you pay and I know that he wants that to happen to Piggy. Why hasn’t the beastie come back? I have not heard the littleuns whine about it yet I thought it came back each night. I say someone around our group has something to do with the beastie and is trying to sabotage our group. Piggy look in his eyes were MALEVOLENTLY as he wanted to retaliate back to get back at him but I know Piggy is smarter, than to fight back as he can become the most hated one. I think sooner or later one of us is going to die because like one of us might do something to someone and they will regret it and get back at them.

1. What things are you having trouble adjusting to on the island that are different from your life at home in England?
I have to work for my food, work for everything I need to survive, I have to mature now. I have to adjust making my own food, making my own shelter to live. To maintain my self to live.

2.How do you feel about the littluns?
I really do not think that the littleuns are any help to us all they do is play and whine about the beastie. They have not even matured but c’mon what can you expect from 10 year olds.

3.What do they do with their time?
The littleuns still act as children they just play like as if it was a playground and they want us to support them they should start helping.

4.Why do you all paint your faces?
We all painted our faces to get the warrior look to scare of animals and to camouflage with the environment of the island for it would be easier for us to hunt.

5.What does this foreshadow?
I see we will soon split up because of Jack, Piggy, and Ralph don’t get along with the choices sooner or later we will have our own territory but I don’t know who I want to be with.

6.How do you feel when your face is painted?
When I painted my face, I felt tough and ready to go wild as all the blood running through my veins got me crazy to go hunt for food.

7.Why doesn’t the passing ship see you on the island?
The passing ship didn’t see us because I the selfish Jack who cares about him didn’t watch the fire as it faded away/

8. Why was the fire allowed to go out?
The fire went out because Jack went hunting instead of watching the fire to get a signal for help.

9.What is the overall mood on the island at this time?
The mood changes as the time ticks some us get mad at each other, we feel sad, happy, and crazy. It changes.

10.What do you predict will happen next?
I say that we will split up because of the little war we have between Ralph and Jack not agreeing now Jack is mainly backstabbing at us as he tries to act all like a nice person to us except Piggy now he’s changed. I do not know whom I would want to be with on whose side. Now I want to be with Jack because he can supply us food with his weapon.

Huts on the Beach
“What’s up with people?”
Perspective: Piggy

1. Why is it important/not important to have shelter for the little ones?
It is important to have shelter for the little ones because they are scared of the beastie. Each night I have to wake up and hear them crying about it I can never sleep I have the ideas around here c’mon.
2. What are the various jobs assigned to the boys?
I had the job to take peoples name down but unfortunately, I did not so right now I do not feel like helping than I would be made fun of. The Choir has the hunting job. However, everybody is relaxing.
3. Why aren’t they carried out?
We need food to live and protection but I need to make up for what I did and help.
4. What do you feel is the most important task for survival? Explain.
I say the most important task is a hut because we cannot just be sleeping in the middle of the island we can be attacked by a wild animal so for now protection is more important than food.
5. Describe Simon. (If you are Simon, describe yourself)
That boy Simon is weird first he goes to being shy and fainting now he is stepping up by helping Ralph build the huts even though I’ am just relaxing. Simon is a small skinny boy with bright eyes and black hair; he has remains of clothes and has dark skin like a tan.
6. What do you think will happen on this island if you are not rescued soon?
I say that we might split up and fight against each other if we cannot work as a team. I do not want to betray each other but if that what they want than it is a war. We might kill each other and live until the death mainly last man or group standing.

Dear Diary,

I like this experience living on an island but mainly I have not had anyone to have love for me except my aunt that I miss now. I really want to back home I’ am growing up to early and I just wanted to go back to how everything was back home living with my aunt in a real home. Now I have to step up and I know if I work hard by my self to group my friends on the island I know my contrite parents would love what I have done and what I can do. Everybody makes fun of me as if I were a joke. I’ am inscrutable people in this island do not know me that well and what I kind do. Jack’s rapt manners are not good to help us live on the island, he soon might break up apart and we might have to fight against him. The vicissitudes of working together is not good now as Ralph and Simon are just working on the huts and Jack just complaining like always is driving me crazy. The reason why I didn’t do anything today was because whatever I do I would get laughed at or made fun of by Jack or his little group I never have the chance to say anything. The compulsion of Jacks mouth keeps on running to get his attention and to get what he wants I really despise that Jack. I really do not know what to do now because I know Ralph is surely still mad at me because I did not do my job but I need to show him that he can trust me. Without me, they would not have had a fire they would be freezing at night and what would we cook our food or fruit that we get with. I’ am the only one acting like an adult but today I was acting like a five year old getting his nap I didn’t really feel like being noisy or helping out until maybe tomorrow for I can impress Ralph for he can be happy at me than be mad at me now. I dont understand why Ralph doesn't get as mad as the hunters not helping but he gets mad at me. Seems like everyone in the island is againest me. I' am starting to think like an adult other people arent I say if we don't step up we will fall apart. I' am so sick of Jack saying things that he say's he is going to do but he ends up not doing it I just want to split up into groups but I don't want to fight.

Chapter 2
“Give me a break”
Ralph

Dear Diary,

Today has been a tiring and harsh day. I cannot during the night I need a break and I need to go outside the island for a while and hide for a little bit. I was officious to be lead now that I know how it feels I think I should let Jack lead for a while. I really do not know what to do with Piggy and all his whining, I know he has all these great ideas but Jack is really getting on his nerves as if he wants Piggy to cause something to hate us. Everybody was pinching the conch away from each other I' am confused and do not really know what to do with my group and the conch. The errant Jack, I say that we should split up because he can lead his people well but he cannot help me in leading my people to work as a group to achieve. At least Piggy is trying to mature and is trying to take action, he seems as if he should be leader of the whole group but nobody likes him. About last time when I went to the mountain with Simon, and Jack I left him in charge to have everybody’s name and to see who they are and what they do. Since the kid who cried last time we know that today we lose him as he wanders off so I’ am mad at Piggy. As I was really going to have Piggy being like my co-captain to help since he is observant, and is maturing but he cant control to get peoples attention. Without him we wouldn’t have the fire right now that I found out he didn’t do the job I gave him I can’t sleep as I feel like I caused the death of the child, why did I rely on Piggy so much. I wonder if Piggy would do something in recrimination to get back at Jack but it seems Piggy is to mature for that. Piggy specs will come in handy more but now that it has made the fire and now the fire is getting bigger, I feel that we might all burn down and not live. As I think about it all night along with the missing boy, I cannot take it no more. I say since I’ am the leader I to take actions and act like one I’ am not doing nothing about Piggy getting made fun of I feel like I’ am inducing Jack more to make fun of him because I’m not doing anything about it. I need more rules as the conch is mainly our biggest law now as it gives power and commandments to whoever has it or ideas. However, as we progress more I think the more laws we have the less people would follow them and they would start to betray each other we would split up and have wars with each other. I do not want it to happen.
1. Do you think this is a good island or a bad island?
I say the island is good because theres things to support us to live but Im not sure if its close to any Land where people are on it. But with us people on it, it kind of makes me feel like we will destroy the island until we can live.
2. What is the beastie?
The beastie is a animal that, that one kid called it and its in the island, as Jack says he will hunt it.
3. What does it symbolize?
The Conch symbolizes a law and who has the right to say what or to do the something.
4. How does it make you feel?
I feel many emotions I just need to take a break from everything and walk around and think things out to get our group in good shape to live and to work together. Another emotion is scared of us betraying each other.
5. What is your plan for being rescued?
I say we should just make fires around the island until we get saved because thats mainly the only thing to make a sign to get saved and rescued at the moment.
6. Do you want to be rescued?
I actually do want to be rescued because since things arent looking good between Jack and Piggy I say that they will actually have a war with each other and I don't want to be apart of it.
7. How did you start a fire and what happens to the fire?
We started the fire with the idea of Piggy of using his specs but first we ran to look for wood and the fire started all little as its getting bigger and bigger as it scares me as I think it could burnt the whole island down.
8. What happened to the little boy with a mark on his face?
He dissapeared when the fire got bigger, and now we barely know who he is since Piggy didn't do his job.
9. How are you different from all the other boys?
I' am different because I' am in charge and I got the power to lead the group but I haven't done anything yet I need to step up with more ideas. I' am also calm. Not like Jack and Piggy who go at it every minute.
10. As you go to bed each night, what is going through your head? Are you afraid, excited, indifferent…? What’s going on inside of your head?
I got many things in my mind at night as I think the island will burn I feel guilty about the boy disspearing and if he dies I'm going to feel like I killed him. I'm very scared about us in the island as I feel we might betray eachother.

Lord of the Flies Post 1

Today was a crazy day we met with this fatty known as “Piggy” and a boy who is skinny, his name is Ralph. The first day on the island today was confusing; I had many thoughts going around my mind. I thought I was not going to survive today but since we met with Piggy and Ralph, I think we might live for a while considering now that Ralph is the leader. Piggy seems like a great observer to help us hunt or plan things out for shelter. His effulgence might come in handy even though I hate him so much. I do not think Ralph has any experience being a leader. C’mon, I lead the choir, and the hunting group that’s more experience than Ralph has. I can be pliant leading the whole thing. The intricacies on that shell was amazing but just because he blew into that shell does not mean he is like the lord. As I went to on the expedition with Ralph, and Simon it was a great trip, now that I know that this place is an island and that we might not ever get out alive I’ am freaking out because we can starve to death. Encountering the pig was incredulous I was nervous to go kill it because it is like killing a human, why did I proffer to look like the big guy hunting a pig if I cant even kill it. Since I’ am the leader of the hunting group I now know I need to step up and do things out of the ordinary killing things I would never kill c’mon I’ am only twelve. There is still time for me to step up for hunting. Why was Piggy elected to be in charge while we left on the expedition, he has asthma he cannot control a whole group of people he would have an asthma attack or something. I think that Piggy will not last without eating. While we all sniggered at him, I think Piggy felt bad but I do not care about him I care about my self to survive for now we have to work as a group. I feel that people might start to be scared of me now that I have a knife but probably everyone is thinking about me and what I can do with the knife.
1. Describe the setting of the island.
The island is covered with rocks we are on the coral reef.

2. What major event has brought you to this island?
With the plane being crashed theres no way out unless a miracle happens. I was also brought to meet with other people with the conch.

3. Introduce yourself and explain your relationship to the other characters (of interest) who have been introduced so far.
Hi, I' am Jack. Today I met with other people named Piggy, Ralph and Simon. I think that since our groups have met we might have a chance to live. Piggy has the effulgence to help us live but he might not live in my opinion. Since he has asthma he can have an asthma attack or he can pass out. Simon scares me with his faints it seems like he is dying out of nowhere and I dont want nobody to die.


4. Why are there no adults on this island?
There are no adults because they are all dead and they are the only ones there who are the children on the island.

5. What powers does a person holding the conch have? How do you feel about the conch?
Ralph has the power to call the group back to meet, also having the power of leadership because Ralph has the power to help the group if they get lost.

6. What is the choir’s job? How do you feel about the boys in the choir?
The choirs job now is to hunt, and I Jack will be leading the group again to hunt for food. I think that they are agressive to kill something but at the moment they are pretty scared to even move a muscle. I have a knife for hunting but we will need to look for weapons for the choir to help me hunt. Piggy will come in handy to help us look for weapons.


1. Why do you feel you should be elected chief?
I feel that I should have been elected cheif because I have more experience in leadership. I lead a group which is the choir which I will be leading again as the hunters. Ralph doesn't have experience in leading a group, but I think he can lead us with the conch to get our attention and stuff. I will just help him.


2. Why couldn’t you kill the pig?
The reason why was because I was scared. I' am only twelve I never killing a living animal before in my life. Killing a animal is like killing a human. Now I have to step up to kill more animals since I' am the leader of the hunting group.
